Professor Herbert Leon MacDonell:

[Adam]

You know him don't you ?

He was hired by Jeremy in 1993. He was America's first and foremost ballistics expert.

He did a through investigation of all the trial evidence and new evidence that Jeremy's lawyer, Ewen Smith had got together.

His findings -

Everyone, including Sheila was shot to death by someone else.

He makes some interesting points.

Jeremy vowed to keep on fighting.

[Adam]

Jeremy managed to find the fee for the professor by selling his story to the Sunday Sport newspaper.

Classy.

[Adam]

The professor offered a detailed reconstruction of what happened on the night.

[Adam]

June was shot in bed with her head on the pillow. The blood on the pillow had not dripped there, but was a direct result of being shot while her head was on the pillow.

This is extremely damaging for Jeremy. If things were so bad that Neville had to ring Jeremy, he  would have certainly woken June to protect her and get her assistance.

Or June would have woken anyway after hearing all the noise.

[lookout]

Sheila wasn't exactly " shot to death " compared to the other members of the family. Don't you find it strange that the one who took on the role of Sheilas' mother was found to have received the worst injuries ?
June,who Sheila spoke of to her friends as being completely alienated from herself,as after meeting her " real " mother,Sheila had said that she knew it was her real mother who Sheila had felt more at home with than June,that she'd hoped to see more of her. This meeting was all that Sheila had hoped for.

How do you think Sheila had felt when Christine returned to Canada,and not long after was dropped off at WHF with the boys,by her EX-husband ? Wouldn't you feel anything ? Reduced medication and in control of her thoughts at long last !

[Adam]

The professor said Sheila was not standing or sitting up when shot.

This suggests Jeremy could have carried her across the hallway and laid her down. Or he bundled her to the floor after leading her to the bedroom.

Either way, Sheila showed no signs of a struggle. So was either asleep, or half asleep.

[Adam]

Someone or something had smeared blood around the upper entrance wound of Sheila's neck.

Photo's of Sheila's hand did not show blood on her hand. However the mortuary pictures may have been taken after she had been washed.

[lookout]

What ? Floating around,then ! Of course she'd be sitting.After that first shot,which my own personal theory was that she was shot from a short distance,albeit skewed because it hit her jawbone and shattered ( you know,the bullet that suddenly became a whole one at the trial ?) which would have put her out of action for a short spell giving her enough time to retrieve the rifle-------------but after that I DON'T know how she came by that second shot.
In varying links,it's been stated that the rifle was found on the bedroom floor,by her side,or between June and Sheila on the bed,so how can YOU know how events unfolded when nobody else does ?
I remain baffled by the second gunshot,and admit to not having a clue about how it was administered,but neither shots were by her own hand,nor were they made by Jeremy either.

Professors don't always know everything you know. You'll learn that as you go along.

[Adam]

The page marker from the bible had been moved from it's original position, next to Sheila's arm after it had become bloodstained.

Surely Sheila would not bother moving this after her first shot ?

[Adam]

The blood on the carpet around Sheila's body, was on the carpet before the bible was placed on the floor.

What ? Sheila seemed to be doing a lot after her first shot.

[Adam]

There is no question in the manner of death of Sheila Caffell, said the professor.

She could not shoot herself with the silencer attached. So was shot by someone else.

[Adam]

To be honest I do not know why Jeremy bothered paying for the professor.

The professor agreed with the original findings, even with potential new evidence that Jeremy's lawyers had spent 8 years getting together. He could even come up with new damaging evidence.

The professor was never going to say Sheila could shoot herself with the silencer attached.

Jeremy's only chance is to prove the silencer has been deliberately contaminated. Or the blood silencer evidence is badly wrong.

[lookout]

The blood on the carpet around Sheila's body, was on the carpet before the bible was placed on the floor.

I did NOT say that Sheila was " doing a lot ".It's YOU who has just said it.Jeeze,why don't you listen to a bit of reason for once instead of jumping from one thing to another ?

You make more sense when you copy and paste than when you argue in your own tongue !!

I never mentioned you.

After the first shot Sheila must have picked up the bible and put it on top of the blood on the carpet.

Or was it Jeremy moving the bible after the first or second shot ?

I suggest you argue that one with Scipio - or did you not read his posts?
