Still remarkably articulate,redolent of an English public school education,Jeremy seeks the attention he never received whilst at Gresham’s,a damaged individual as well he might be after all these years of incarceration,so much so that he revels in his own company,preferring the life of a hermit to any exterior force which heretofore offered some ray of hope but ultimately has had no answer to his problems . Notwithstanding one cannot help but feel that however much he talks of the light at the end of the tunnel he is acutely aware of the reality that his incarceration brings: there he will remain for the rest of his days as he shuffles along the dining queue as the geriatric he will be transformed into and to which he himself has alluded,a target for younger inmates once again to exploit as an object of torture both physical and verbal, as he was in younger days. How quickly he dismisses those twenty-six years under the breath at one point on the tape and how do you mark each passing year, how they have lingered as Jeremy senses that he is the underdog yet again poring over the mountain of documents with that hopelessness which has never left him,along with that half-hearted confidence as the guilters and believers look on as bystanders but which in some way has affected us all.http://www.theguardian.com/uk/audio/2011/jan/30/jeremy-bamber-murder-appeal-audio
Hi Steve
If Jeremy is really really not guilty and is fighting for his freedom then its very sad that he believes that there was someone moving around in the house, the police in conversation with someone in the house and that the police saw Sheila in the kitchen.
Its all so easy for us as a group on the outside with mountains of information at our fingertips, access to local libraries and to be able to discuss with others whenever we choose about the case. We have some, not all of the documents at hand, but we are able to as a group determine what is right and what might be wrong...not saying that we are right...
What has Jeremy got? No access to outside world, limited library of 2 x 15 minute sessions in one week. No internet or intranet. No one to discuss the case with, no one to go through mountains of paperwork with him, no books can be sent in, (mind you I think that may be changing) He is totally alone and cut off. Is there any wonder that people who are in jail that should not be have no chance of fighting their corner because to make an appeal can take years, to get justice done can take years.
Its hardly surprising that when he sees a document that says the police are in conversation , that he believes it to be true, because to him it is....he has no one telling him otherwise.
