After a 14/17 hour day and returning to WHF for supper (how nice), Jeremy saw rabbits. Although at this time it may well have been dark.
Although he did not live at WHF, didn't like his parents and was notoriously lazy (according to Lookout) he decided to try to kill them. How nice X 2. Rabbits are very dangerous, aren't they ?
So he fully loaded a rifle, but did not put the silencer on. Meaning only one shot would be fired before the rabbits fled. Sadly once this was done the rabbits were no longer outside waiting for him. So no shots were fired.
He testified to the courts he was being 'lackadaisical' in leaving the rifle for Sheila to pick up. 'I didn't know what was going to happen, did I', he protested. By a tragic co incidence Sheila went 'crazy' with this very fully loaded rifle. That same night.
If only those rabbits had decided to congregate somewhere else.
