Maggie, it would appear the letter is either from 2010 or 2011.  My guess is the latter and the 'forensic' link refers specifically to the kitchen crime scene.

You may be right about the dragging of feet Lookout.  Or perhaps there was not enough time to focus on this aspect of 'forensic' evidence, given the change of legal representation?

That might depend upon whether the journalist writing the article is including the period spent on remand, awaiting trial.  It's possible that the journalist is referring to the period from October 1986 sentencing.  So we could be looking at 2011, which is when I think the CCRC released the negatives to the defence.

I'm not sure if Neil may be able to shed any further light on what is being referred to in the letter?

I think this may refer to a piece of evidence discovered by Jeremy himself in the course of his detailed review of the case papers.  This evidence is strongly suggestive of a struggle involving Sheila having taken place in the kitchen.  It has not to my knowledge yet been made public and it has not to date been included in submissions to the CCRC.  It is in my view something worth investigating further.

Thank you ngb and how interesting.

Hi ngb thanks for that my vibes get stronger daily for Jeremy's release.  I have such a good feeling that the truth will emerge shortly.

This did cross my mind also but, can't see one fleck of toe nail paint turing the whole case on it's head. Like a lot of things, it will simply be dismissed.

JB imo gets his hopes up too often - and I can see the Sutherst photographic report did this.

As you say, like a lot of things, it has been simply dismissed - no follow up by the defence whatsoever, leading me to believe there is no further mileage in the Sutherst report and his suggestion that there were no scratch marks on the Aga surround in the kitchen crime scene photos.

I'm still baffled with this one - surely there are, or there aren't, scratch marks on the Aga surround - how crap were the crime scene photos  .

What can one person see that another can't

Hi NGB, this would suggest to me it is not of any great significance, and probably another easily dismissed piece of so called "evidence".

Are you able to elaborate on when JB apparently discovered this or what it might be, or is it one of those “keeping the powder dry” points that probably won’t ever surface!

You just keep your vibes out of this, or the batteries will run down 

[susan]

Nickos  I just love you and your chickens to bits

[susan]

My friend Nickos just you wait and watch this space you are aware that I read the tea leaves

In my view it could be significant evidence suggesting that Sheila was responsible.  I am sorry I am not able to elaborate even though I do not believe it would harm the defence to do so. The reason is that I have agreed with JB that I will not reveal information here which has not been revealed on the "official" website.  In the light of this I do find it irritating at times to see information being drip fed by elsewhere but there is nothing I can do about that.

I am not able to say whether this will be included in the next submissions to the CCRC but I certainly believe it is worth further investigation and if this confirms the evidence I believe it should be included.

Ngb,,I don't know about irritating,I find it very frustrating that the " wheels " aren't spinning as they should. I feel that Jeremy has the patience of a saint,whereas,I wouldn't have. It's all like slow-motion to me,,even though I do understand that there's a lot of work involved,,but hey ho,I can't do anything about my petulant character. It runs on my fathers side of  having a politically-minded family.

I agree lookout, everything moves at a very slow pace.  That in my view is largely because since the 2002 appeal Jeremy has not had legal aid and does not have the resources to employ a full time legal team.  He has had to rely upon his own efforts and the help of his supporters and lawyers who have been prepared to offer their services pro bono.  The CCRC have not been proactive in following lines of investigation, they have simply responded to material submitted to them.  It really has been an uphill battle.  Fortunately Jeremy remains positive and optimistic and continues to work hard on his case.  How he manages this after over 28 years as a maximum security prisoner I do not know.
