maggie, those memories sound SO powerful. I have a rather large lump in my throat

I know April, how evocative. 
Why would a perfectly sane young man who had such an upbringing coolly shoot his family dead?  It doesn't make sense imo.

April I am the same I read the story about his stay at the large house and I was left feeling so sad for Jeremy and what a terrible Injustice he has suffered lets hope 2014 will be Jeremy Bamber's year

Maggie we all know he did not shoot his family dead. Why would he his childhood was very loving and he wanted for nothing and he did love his family.

I agree Susan, his childhood did seem to be very secure.  It must have been a bit traumatic for him to go to boarding school but many upper class children do as a matter of course.  Many of them settle down and love it, some struggle very badly with it but they are the children who don't feel wanted by their families.  I cannot see how Jeremy felt unwanted by his family.

Maggie was he sent to Boarding school at 8 or 11.  I know a boy who was sent away at 8 and it broke his heart but he soon adapted to it and think it made a stronger person of him in his adult life.  I am sure it did Jeremy no harm at all.

I have a friend who didn't confess to his parents until he was 45 that he's HATED boarding school. They were both shocked and asked him why he's never said anything at the time. He said that they's been so tied up with his demanding sister and her refusal to settle into HER boarding school, that he's thought it best to keep his mouth shut!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Think he was sent away at 8 Susan, really don't think it would drive a stable young man to shoot his family when he was 24.  Jeremy seemed to do alright within the family, didn't seem to lack anything much imo.

Maggie sending Jeremy to Boarding school would have made him more independent and able to fend for himself would not have any negative effect on him at all this is just another myth put out by some.

[susan]

April some children adapt more easily to Boarding school than others but they all come through it some children hated school full stop but had to put up with it.

Bitter sweet. At least Jeremy has some good memories from way back.

[susan]

Alias When I read about his childhood and visiting his Gran I thought the same he had so many happy memories of his childhood and who would have thought such an innocent little boy would have ended up in the situation he did through no fault of his own I had very mixed emotions of sadness and happiness after reading his story.

Susan, I hope that Jeremy will get to make some new memories very soon, and not only about prison!!

People keep saying in a sarcastic tone that Jeremy must be the unluckiest person in the world. Well, sadly he isn´t. How about the multitude of other MOJs there are all over the world, aren´t they the unluckiest people in the world too? Judges and juries have believed in "evidence" against each and every one of those persons to convict them, even if it was proven later, often decades later, that they were innocent! Jeremy´s situation, unfortunately, is not unique.
It is such a shame and a disgrace that in many of those cases, evidence has been fabricated by police, prosecution has withheld evidence, "witnesses" have plain lied under oath, false confessions have been obtained by harsh interrogation techniques.
It could happen to each and every one of us.

[susan]

Alias I honestly feel Jeremy will gain his freedom and enjoy all that he has missed.  So many people have had their lives ruined because of MOJ's some just because they were Irish and they fitted the bill so lets fabricate the evidence how can these police officers live with themselves knowing they have sent innocent men to prison destroying their lives and that of their families if it had been accidentl it would be easier to comprehend but to deliberately fabricate evidence to get a conviction is a disgrace to mankind.  I think posters who think Jeremy Bamber is guilty that is their right but it is not necessary to be sarcastic and try and fabricate stories to make Jeremy out to be a truly horrible person he is serving a life sentence is that not enough for them.
