Police knew by mid September 1985, that the rifle already had ammunition loaded into it prior to Jeremy adding new bullets taken from a full box of 50. Police know that five rounds already in the gun had got double magazine markings on them and that these five rounds could not have been directly loaded into the gun from the aforementioned box of 50, by Jeremy, or anybody else. It also helped police to establish that Jeremy had in fact loaded six new rounds from the box on tuesday evening, all of which produce single marked cases. Police were able to pinpoint where at the scene these five double magazine marked cases were found, which provided them with a clear picture of where the first full load of the guns bullet had been fired...
It was possible to do this because of the sequence with which the five double marked rounds had been loaded into the gun, along with the order that Jeremy had loaded six single marked rounds into the gun...
First of all, there is no evidence to establish there were 5 rounds in the gun prior to Jeremy loading more. Your supposed single/double marked claims are hogwash. At BEST there could be marks on a case that suggest it had been ejected from a gun prior. That would merely mean the gun was unloaded though. For instance, working the bolt to eject 5 rounds until the gun is empty. There would be breech marks and ejection marks left on the live rounds. Far from establishing these rounds were still in the magazine of the gun it indicates they had been unloaded through the ejection port.
When a round is unfired markings of this sort will stand out. When fired any previous marks will belnd in with the new ones and the claim it is possible to tell for sure a bullt was previously unloaded from the gun is specious.
If 5 rounds were unloaded from the gun through the ejection port then they woudl have been placed in the tray again not the magazine. No one unloads 5 rounds through the ejection port to then immediately load them back into the magazine. You drop the magazine, eject the round in the chamber and load it into the magazine again you don't eject all 5 to reload into the magazine.
You supposed evidence, if true, at best can prove 5 of the rounds used to commit the murders were unloaded through the ejection port previous to Jeremy loading the weapon. That falls far short of establishing they were in the a magazine when he picked up the weapon. In fact it cuts against it because when you empty a magazine by ejecting all shells out of the ejection port it means you are doing so specifically so the weapon will remain empty. Instead of unloading the magazine by hand you unload it by ejecting them out of the weapon.
Second, Jeremy stated that the magazine was empty or he would have ran outside with it immediately. He claimed he was in such a rush he wasn't even sure how many bullets were in it after he loaded it he claimed between 8 and10 in one interview and between 5 and 10 in another. He stated he was in such a rush he might not have made sure he loaded it fully because he was scared the rabbits would get away. He would not have looked for a box of ammunition if the gun already had been loaded.
This 5 round business is an invention by Jeremy advocates to try to pretend he didn't stage the bullets in the kitchen. He claimed that because the gun was empty he sought out a tray of ammunition that was full or near full, carried it to the kitchen, dumped the rounds out and quickly loaded the magazine with 8-10 rounds. 25 rounds were used in the murders so even if the tray had been full only 25 rounds would remain but there were 30 left. Why would Sheila load 18-20 rounds from the bullets in the kitchen then stop loading a magazine part way and go to the closet to seek out 5-7 more bullets to finish when there were 30 more from the stockpile she supposedly was using?
This establishes the bullets were staged by Jeremy. To try to pretend they were not staged the fable about 5 bullets already being in the magazine was born. Jeremy advocates would rather pretend their were 5 rounds in the gun already though this doesn't fit Jeremy's claims at all because the alternative is that he definitely staged these bullets. The gun was not normally stored with ammunition, Jeremy himself claimed it was empty so he had to rapidly try to load it to get the rabbits before they left and there is in fact no evidence which can establish they had already been in the gun at the time Jeremy picked it up.
Why would there be 5 rounds in it? If someone stopped using it mid way and simply put it away loaded there would even be a round in the chamber already. It would routinely put away empty though not loaded. Someone who ejects 5 rounds would simply but those bullets back with other ammunition not reload it immediately.
The evidence cited doesn't in any way, shape or form establish there were 5 rounds in the gun already.
But if there were 5 rounds already then it just shows even more how Jeremy's entire tale about the rabbits was complete BS because he would have just ran outside with the already loaded gun according to his own claims, not taken time to make sure it was loaded to capacity.
That brings us to your claim there were 5 rounds in it already and Jeremy loaded 6 more. The only way to load 11 rounds total is for 1 round to be in the chamber. If there was 1 round in the chamber and 4 in the magazine then he could have loaded 6 as you claim. If the wepaon is empty then you have to load the magazine fully, insert it into the weapon, chamber a round, release the magazine, load another round into the magazine and then reinsert the magazine. That is how you load 11 rounds. His own claims were that he loaded the magazine in a different room than he had the weapon sitting so this would not have been possible if his claims were true.
Moreover, he claims he unloaded the weapon after the rabbits got away. He claims he removed the magazine and unloaded the round in the chamber- which means that said unloaded round would have had breech and ejection marks on it. So one of the 5 supposed rounds with double marks can be attributed to such.
Neither June nor Sheila would be bothered dropping the magazine to load an 11th round. Only Jeremy would do such and indeed 11 shots were fired June and Nevill in the master bedroom.
If Jeremy did load 11 rounds in the gun before he left then he didn't unlaod it as claimed and would not have left it where someone else could find it. He would have either put it back in the closet or a place where only he knew where it was so that he could immediately use it instead of having to load it after sneaking in.
-----------
With respect to the defense making a mistake by admitting it was either Sheila or Jeremy- they simply admitted the obvious. Your case against June is that we can't prove she didn't fire a gun because she was not tested for GSR and foreign blood. That means the defense can't prove she did though. The defense bears the burden of establishing it is plausible June did it.
It is not plausible though because there is no motive, waiting to 2:30AM to take action makes no sense, and allowing Sheila to disarm her makes no sense and the evidence establishes she was shot in bed then got up. Your suggestions otherwise don't hold up to scrutiny.
Jeremy framed his sister not only with the phone call, but other claims he made to police as well as how he staged her body. He is th eone who fingered Sheila so the defense had little choice but to admit it was either him or her. If the frame fell apart then it was the framer who did it.
Sheila could not have killed herself based on the forensic evidence and that means he had to have done it.
Let's be frank, the claim June beat and shot Nevill and the boys is an invention to explain away why Sheila had no blood from Nevill or the boys on her, had no lead on her fingers and didn't have broken nails. This tale features Jeremy and June loading all the bullets so Sheila had no means to get lead on her hands from loading. It features June beating Nevill instead of Sheila because if Sheila had done it she would have had back spatter and broken her nails.
The only thing this tale doesn't explain away is why Sheila would not have any GSR on her body and hands but at least it explains in part how she could be so clean. Jeremy himself claimed maybe Nevill said she got the gun. His lawyers found no way to use this but you did.
This is not an example of you following the evidence where it leads but rather constructing a story around the evidence to try to find a way to make Jeremy innocent. On a message board yo ucan claim anything you want and proof is not necessary.
To suggest an alternative kille rin court requires having an evidentiary basis and the evidence you presented of June not being tested so not knowing either way if she had GSR or foreign blood falls far short.
There is no evidence at all of June's involvement and hosts of reasons why it makes no sense.
The more leaps you take the less credibility you have with others and if you lose credibility with a jury you can forget about winning the case. So even if a judge allows poorly sourced blame being placed elsewhere pressing the claim not only will it be rejected but worse it can result in a complete loss of credibility.
