Could as well have been they had a hard time convicting. You are assuming.
Why do you think two jurors voted 'not guilty' ?
My 'the trial, a brutal highlighting of guilt ? ' highlights how the trial savagely highlighted his guilt. The defence claimed the judges summing up was unfair and Bamber was unconvincing when testifying, saying damaging things. Thread on page 1.
Experts and witnesses said Sheila was a loving mother and attached to her father. Several people testified how Bamber hated his family, which coincided with the fact he was about to inherit a huge amount of money.
No one disputed it was Sheila's blood on the silencer, meaning she must have been shot by someone else. Other forensic evidence showed it was not Sheila. Just as important was the circumstantial evidence.
RB expected a verdict in minutes. It was not that quick, but was still reached quickly for such a long trial. Quite why the verdict was not 12-0 I will never know.
