This is a question to the people on the board who think Jeremy is guilty. It has been talked about in another thread, but didn´t really belong in the thread about Pargeter´s rifle.
Please, step by step, describe how he did it. Scipio claims that Sheila sat on the floor with her back leaning against Nevill´s side of the bed, and that Jeremy stood and shot her holding the rifle at his hip.
I have a hard time seeing how it could have happened that way. For one, there was no room for that, look:
I also asked him to describe in detail how he thought the second shot was fired, but he never answered. Perhaps now?
1) I said she was propped against something I didn't say the bed. She could have been propped against the chair as an expert guessed, against the night stand even the door. The chair could even have been next to the bed and then moved to the wall afterwards we have no way of knowing. It makes no real difference, there were plenty of different areas to prop her body against.
2) I answered you, you didn't like the answer I gave after I took apart your suggestion that she was shot on the bed.
The evidence proves she was seated when shot and propped against something. If seated but not propped against something she would have immediately fell backwards. If she immediately fell backwards upon being shot she would not have bled on her arm and into her lap. The blood would simply have went down the side of her neck. That is why we know she was seated with something holding her up- that is the only way to account for the blood dripping down onto her arm and gown.
The medical examiner stated that if she stayed seated a long time before the second shot was fired a great deal more blood would have leaked onto her dress and arms. He estimated that she was shot the second time within a few seconds.
He further stated she did not at any time stand or walk after being shot because the blood did not support such.
The examiner states she was in the same position for both shots which were fired seconds apart and moved afterwards.
Modern blood analysis experts agree with this asserting that she was seated then after she died she was dragged flat.
How far after she died was her body dragged flat? Not long after death because if a significant amount of time passed then the blood would not have dripped down the side of her neck and instead pooled elsewhere. She was moved not long after shot, the blood dripped down the side of her neck and onto the floor where it pooled.
The bible got stained by being deposited in that pool of blood. It was opened and closed after being deposited in that pool of blood that formed after she died. How soon after wa sit opened and closed? While her blood was still wet and that pool of blood would not have still been wet when police found it.
Sheila could neither move her own body nor open and close the bible in her own pool of blood after she was dead. Nor could she put the suppressor away after she was dead. The killer did these things. Why was Jeremy messing around with the bible? Only he knows what he was trying to accomplish but having difficulty doing so.
