Time to agree with Jeremy regarding the silencer ? But...

However Jeremy did claim in 2002 the police tampered with evidence. To frame him.

Ground 1a – hand swabs from Sheila Caffell 175. Ground 1 as presented to the court can conveniently be split into two distinct parts and we will consider each in turn. Each part relates to hand swabs taken from Sheila Caffell during the post-mortem examination and the subsequent examination of these swabs. The first part alleged that information was withheld from the defence about the examination of these swabs and suggests that this was not merely the result of inadvertence. It is contended that the evidence demonstrates impropriety by the police in deliberately concealing the true picture. The further suggestion is made that the police may not have submitted the genuine swabs but rather obtained similar swabs from some other source and substituted them for the swabs taken from Sheila Caffell in order to produce a result favourable to the prosecution.

Ground 2 – disturbance of the crime scene 233. The appellant contends that officers of the Tactical Firearms Group ("TFG") upon entering the premises themselves knocked over chairs, stools, and a sugar bowl but falsely contended at trial that such disturbance preceded their entry. This is relevant to the suggestion that there was a violent struggle between Mr Bamber and his killer before he was killed and the prosecution contention that Sheila Caffell would have been incapable of overpowering her father. Further if there was no violent struggle, the absence of any indication of such on Sheila Caffell was not of significance.

Surely Jeremy cannot be serious. The raid team were highly qualified officers. They don't go around knocking things over. If there was a gun fight or a physical attack maybe. But everyone had been dead for hours.

 Police,,whether armed or not,go at something like a bull in a china shop. Ever seen them bashing doors in for a drugs raid ? The noise would waken the dead. These are armed police charging through the property. The damage all these guys do is scary.

Doesn't this chappie mention this in his paper?

Unfortunately raid teams don't take that much care. Their aim when they broke in was to preserve life as well as being aware that their was a potential gun threat. I'm afraid furniture and sugar bowls are expendible when it comes down to that kind of danger. It probably was them wot knocked over the table? If it wasn't then they would have left the crime scene as it was so that it could be recorded. But as you can see from the picture of the kitchen they put it back as it was. "Apparantly"?
