Two things
Disclosure:
'We want everything' has not, does not, will never meet with a response.'
All evidence pertaining to 'silencer DB/1 - within the regulations can be checked for and disclosed.
Pii and all associated laws are actually in place to protect us - our identities and our right to privacy. Imagine if everyone had access to everything? Your nosey neighbour... Your boss... The drug dealer with heavy mates you phoned the police about, and because they found enough evidence they never needed to use your information?
The bureaucracy is maddening, but it has a real purpose.
As I've said, you have to ask the right question of the file, and it will answer!
Responses from the 'mystery file' HAVE been given to JB.s legal team in this way. It is wrong to suggest otherwise.
Bible:
It has clearly been closed at some point, although I wouldn't dispute that could be the police.
Anyone who has regularly deal with documents or books will tell you they take an age to dry out. Blood dries on the surface first, so the underneath could still be semi-liquid.
Interesting idea about it being deliberately smeared with Sheila's/someone's blood.
Wasn't this partly rested/posed on her arm?
-------------------------------------------------
I take on board points made above, but this system is also open to abuse by the police and the cps, and the judiciary, in general...
I accept your point as well. But's it's a tough call. Because most of the time this system does serve most of us well.
The difficulty in saying solicitors should be given carte blanche is exactly the same - what if they are defending that drug dealer? Play golf with your nosey neighbour? Your boss?
The problem is, we all feel justified when we want to find out things, but that changes when we realise others could use it against us.
I have heard of employers who check every job applicants name against Facebook etc.
Imagine once everything's computerised if they were just able to ask the NHS/police etc to do a name/NINO search and give them everything that came up?
So if JB asked for pictures of Sheila's body on the bed and they had them they would have to release them ? By the way who do they have to protect by not releasing photo's or audio tape's of the night, not to mention note book's ?
I see absolutely NO reason why they could refuse to respond to the following:
All photographs detailing the bed in the main bedroom at WHF
or
Images processed from all negatives detailing the bed in the main bedroom at WHF (cost of processing images to be incurred by requestor)
So, have they been asked and told no further images?
Or haven't they asked yet?
