Perhaps Jeremy told him Neville was shot in the main bedroom.

Jeremy and his lawyers handed over everything they had on the case to him. Which I assume was a lot in 1993.

No they did not Adam. Jeremy's lawyers had nothing to do with the hand over of photographs to Herbert.

Jeremy sent the photographs to Wilkes and the money Herbert got was from Wilkes publisher.  :-\

As I said before - the professor changed his mind later and that was presumably because he had seen more evidence.

The professor changed his mind ? Source please.

Either June was shot while her head was on the pillow, or she was not.

Either the bible was put on top of Sheila's blood after the first/second shot. Or it wasn't.

Either the bible page marker was moved after getting blood stained. Or it wasn't.

Wait there.

Jeremy and his lawyers approach a top professor to make a detailed review of the evidence. But have no control over what information is given to professor.

Did they ask for a refund ?

Here is your source re: the Professor changing his mind

And could you please provide YOUR source that Jeremy sold a story to the Sunday Sport. Only,I know of somebody that did give a story to that newspaper which resulted in Anthony Pargeter suing them for libel,but it wasnt Jeremy!

Well yes, if the pathologist says Sheila could have fired both shots, it could have been suicide. But it's always been agreed that Sheila could have fired two shots. Otherwise Jeremy would have pleaded guilty at court in 1986.

The professor is not changing his mind on the three points mentioned on page 1,  which show almost certain guilt -

The bible was put on top of Sheila's blood.

The bible page marker was moved after becoming blood stained.

June was shot with her head on the pillow.

Page 309 of Wilkes's book.

Through an intermediary he offered a story of the new evidence to the Sunday Sport.

Nothing unusual there. Bamber is always in the media speaking as if he is weeks from release due to 'bombshell' new evidence.

Nothing wrong in that is there ? Why,would you just sit there and do and say nothing if you'd been accused of something you didn't do ?

Never said there was anything wrong with it.

Sunday Sport ? Mind you it was 1993.

Good use of the internet and contacting people like Bob Woffinden and Andrew Hunter since 1993, has resulted in articles in better quality newspapers.

I wasn't aware that convicted prisoners were permitted to make money out of newspaper articles.

April,the idea of contacting the professor to start with came from a law student who'd advised Jeremy,the former law student having been a prisoner with Jeremy. Anyway,once the professor received a run-down of the case from Jeremy,he set about explaining time and cost to which Jeremy decided to exploit the media ( who he loathed ) through an intermediary,and so he offered a story to the Sunday Sport in return for expenses.The money being shared between himself and the go-between.
Jeremys' share went on the commissioning of a new report from the professor.
The upshot of that report was that the forensic witnesses evidence was suspect and also the blood in the silencer hadn't necessarily come from Sheila-----------which is what Lomax also stated in his book.
