This is true Ralf, the jury weren't convinced by JM's testimony which is why they asked to hear the silencer evidence again.
Thats how i see it Caroline, my personnal view There are lots of conflicting bits of evidence, any one of which is capable of making you think, firstly "Oh yes, he did" and secondly "Oh, no he didn't."
One fact that everyone seems sure of is that there was a lot of confusion on the day itself - hardly surprisingly - and that the police investigation was very badly mishandled. In the end Jeremy was convicted and was eventually told that he will serve his whole life in jail. Is the conviction safe? He is the only person in the country serving a whole-life sentence who has constantly protested his innocence.
The thing that always grabs me about this case is that I absolutely hate any kind of miscarriage of justice, and that's what haunts me about it too.
If I think back to 1985, I was twenty-six If I think of all the years - - all the things that have happened - - all the places I've been - - so much of my life has happened since that time.
I think that many people would say that the ages between twenty-four and fifty are the prime of life.
It would be horrible to think that Jeremy has missed this part of his life due to some miscarriage of justice. I don't, of course, know whether or not there has been a miscarriage of justice here.
I think it's impossible for any of us to imagine how that would feel if there is? Me i will be leaving the forum soon, i feel i have made some really good friends and i hope i have never upset anyone with my posts. I admire everyone on this forum how they conduct themselves and hope it is kept that way and not become personnal and respect others views, this is mainly due to good moderation. Just for the record me 70/30 guilt, mum 100 percent innocent dtitched up big time, uncle same view as mum, dad and wife just listen. my special regards pete
