The JURY didn't hear evidence that could have affected their verdict. For instance, the FACT that Vanezis CHANGED his initial written report from stating hands were bloodied - to not bloodied when Jeremy became a suspect. The FACT that RWB had the SAME blood group as Sheila. The FACT that the relatives DID have something to gain from Jeremy's conviction and the silencer should NEVER have been allowed as an exhibit. The list goes on and on!! At the very least, there should be a retrial!!
The jury did ask for more clarification of how one of the relatives would benefit financially from Jeremys conviction.
It is up to the defence to put reasonable doubt in the juries mind on the silencer. The silencer was tested again several years later. It was not mentioned in Jeremys first appeal which focused on the judge.
There have been re trials. At the Court of Appeal & CCRC.
