Obviously there are a lot of people who think Jeremy Bamber is guilty, but equally there are people who think he is innocent. Why is this?
In my opinion its not a case as to whether Jeremy Bamber is guilty or not its a case of whether or not the case was handled correctly from the onset or was it that gross misconduct was/is a key factor in securing Jeremy Bamber's fate.
I would like for everyone to answer my following questions with a yes or no please.
1. The crime scene was made secure. True or false?
True. The scene was fully secured from the outset. Who was allowed to enter was controlled. After the raid team left they only allowed those in who they decided needed to see thus members of the raid team who were securing the perimeter did not enter, nor did the unarmed police, nor did even Jeremy.
The raid team kept track of their actions including anything they distrubed. That is why the prosecution was able to detial to the satisfaciton of the Appeal Court what damage was attributable to the raid team and Jeremy's counsel were unable to convice the Court that the raid team did th edamage attributed at trial to the struggle with Nevill.
Police locked the house when they collected evidence and allowed only the 4 crime scene officers in at that time.
Before moving anything they took photos. That is how we know that they moved things before the bodies were removed. They took photos before moving things and then took photos after. The moving was to enable photos of things that were blocked such as the blood stain on the nightgown under the arm and blood hidden by the bible for instance.
They also kept control of the scene for severla days until they finally turned the keys over to the family.
Their main failing had to do with no recognizing they should have collected all gun related materials since the murders were committed by a gun(s) that belonged to the house. One would expect all ammunition and gun related accessories to be taken just in case. This had nothing to do with the securing of the scene but rather their choice in relation to all the firearms related materials.
2. A full forensic examination was done. True or false?
True they examined the key evidence forensically in full.
3. The pathologist was called on site to determine the time of deaths?
Obviously that is not true. But they could have had Dr. Craig take body temperatures and try to assess a time of death. Taff Jones decided for whatever reason not to have him do so. This hurt the police not Jeremy. The police potentially would have had even more fodder to use against Jeremy. Those suggesting the time of death would have been while police were outside and could not have been before police arrived are quite delusional. The window provided by taking temperatur is not precise enough to have been able to rule out them dying befor epolice arrived unless they died after 6AM because there is a 2 hour window. Thinking they were shot after 6AM and no one heard is just ridiculous. But worse other evidence makes clear they were shot by someone outside the house rendering the body temperatures moot.
4. Exhibit labels were they changed?
Thank you.

Yes the exhibit label for the moderator was changed to reflect the perosn who actually found it and changed again to his full initials because the DB prefix was already in use by the police photographer.
Those who want to believe Jeremy is innocent decide to ignore the above and to pretend that the investigation was so poorly conducted that there is no way anyone could say whether or not Jeremy is guilty. That is not the case at all though. Ther eis irrefutable proof of his guilt in spite of the mistakes police made which resulted in them initially thinking Sheila did it.
In fact it is such a clear cut case of guilt that police superiors were disturbed that the initial police theory of Jeremy being innocent was so wrong and ordered an investigation to make sure that in the future such mistakes would not be repeated.
