Jeremy's court testimony:

[Adam]

Colin Caffell said Sheila knew 'nothing' about guns. Not that she didn't like guns.

There is no way she would have had the knowledge, composure co ordination to re load. AE saying this in her WS.

I disagree Adam, it is not beyond possibility that she could have used a rifle or a gun....

Sheila's co-ordination was fine that weekend. Sheila, unbeknown to AE had treatment to correct her co-ordination. Sheila put her makeup on and made sandwiches with Colin that weekend, so to say that her co-ordination was all over the place is a little bit unfair.

Was it a cheese and pickle sandwich ?

Treatment to correct her co ordination ? Will they do treatment to improve my leg co  ordination ? I always wanted to be a footballer.

[lookout]

The medication that Sheila didn't take would have made her dopey and lack co-ordination,but as it happened,she hadn't taken any,so was in complete control. The cannabis would have counteracted what bit of Haldol she had left in her system. So,in effect,Sheila was as " normal " as she could have been and was fully aware of her surrounds and everything else.

Adam - as AE made the statement about her co-ordination - how long before the murders had she seen her? I understood in was 6-8 months ? So how could she have judged her co-ordination at the time of the murders?

you dont need to if your firing from that distance and i dont recall him saying that anyway.
as ive said 1 thousand colin cadfiel never mentioned her having bad coordination.

it would be quite a simple test to let someone watch another person load that type of rifle a couple of times. then see if they could do it. Then it would close the whole argument down once and for all.


Sheila had guns round her all her life and I would be willing to bet she had fired more than one of them at various times.Like I said before - if you asked my father - he would say I had never loaded or  fired a gun. But that would not actually be true.

Whether a person is experienced in using a firearm or not,there wouldn't be any difficulty in aiming a foot or two away. You wouldn't need experience to do that,surely ? You couldn't miss !!

Hello nugnug  just been reading Colin's book and he did say she knew nothing about guns and she could not even make a cup of coffee without spilling the coffee everywhere and making a mess.  Must add his words not mine.

[lookout]

 Making a mess while preparing a drink isn't unusual.Teenagers are the messiest,especially boys.

It strikes me that Colin was clutching at straws at times,as he didn't know his own wife.

We're not talking about teenagers or boys - we're talking abut Sheila.
What's with the attempt to discredit everything Susan posts from CC's book? Maybe CC should have interviewed you about Sheila? Since you seem to think you know more than him?

Perhaps her inability to do even the simplest tasks MAY have contributed to Colin leaving her and perhaps she wasn't wired for domesticity

[nugnug]

well for 6 weeks he not only belived she could use a gun but belived she had so that does not really make sense.
