The non fatal neck shot was inflicted when Sheila struggled for possession of a rifle with another person - after being shot she collapsed to the floor. There was very little external dribbling of blood from that shot, as a result of the main damage occurring internally. As she Collapsed to the floor that part of her neck where the bullet wound punctured the surface of the skin, was uppermost thus preventing any internal blood running out because of gravity. This is why there is very little vertical blood evidence linked to that first shot...
Forget who shot her for the moment, forget also which part of the house she was shot in, and forget which weapon fired this (PV/20), concentrate on the method in which that first shot was inflicted. Ask yourselves, whether with the position of a rifle held at that angle, could Sheila have shot herself non fatally?
Was she standing upright when she was shot, was she upright, bent over, sat up, leaning back, or laying down?
Tests done at Birdwell Armoury 2003 / 2004, which were filmed and photographed confirm that in fact Sheila would have been able to shoot herself using the anshult rifle, both with and without a sound moderator attached. This is contrary to evidence relied upon during the trial by lab' assistants who testified saying that with the silencer attached to the end of the rifles barrel the overall length of the weapon would have been too long to allow Sheila to have shot herself...
The jury only considered the prosecution witnesses version of these events, they did not hear the evidence obtained at Birdwell armoury (2003 /2004) because it had not been available during the time of the trial. The Birdwell tests were carried out by gun enthusiasts, Smith and Mallinson, acted out by model Amy Holland, filmed by a BBC Cameraman, photographed, in the presence of Jeremy Bambers solicitor barrister, and myself, and categorically prove that the jury were misled over the claim that the length of the weapon was too long for Sheila to have shot herself using it...
