I have never been 100% sure that Jeremy is innocent although I tend to think he is.
The few percent that spoils it for me is the cleanness of Sheila and the silencer evidence. Although, both the cleanness and the silencer cold have an alternative to be considered.
The 10-2 majority. Not all the jurors thought he was guilty.
I am very suspicious of Jones, especially when he met the girls off duty and attended the bank with them. He also told Colin not to mention he had changed his statement in court otherwise it would cause problems. Plus, a year later he attended the girls flat to verify times on one of the clocks although the clock its self had been altered due to the clocks being put back in October 1985. He was the one that took the silencer. He was the one that was there that day when a paint sample was taken from the under shelf of the AGA. A yellow sticker marks the place where the paint sample was taken, yet they failed to notice the scratch marks which were a inch away. Jones was in it up to his neck, even to the point where he tells AE not to mention that he had taken a pair of black canvas shoes from Sheila's bedroom. I do not trust his involvement in the case.
1) police found the scratches the same time they took the paint samples. They photographed the scratches the same time they took the samples they didn't miss the scratches and find them at a later date.
2) Your distrust seems to be because you support Jeremy as opposed to stemming from any genuine cause of alarm that would suggest Jones did anything wrong. Receiving the moderator and the other things he did in the course of the case are things he was supposed to be doing while working the case.
The windows, need I say anymore about them?
None of the debates over the windows resulted in any objective evidence that would suggest Jeremy's innocence.
The blood evidence was never fully examined.
The blood evidence that was important was examined. Testing every single passive drop for blood type would have accomplished nothing and could not have helped establish Jeremy's innocence.
No real forensic evidence was ever supplied in court other than the silencer evidence and even that could be flawed in court of today.
Most cases of that era had little forensic evidence. Jeremy's case has more than most. The drawback evidence was forensic evidence and the lack of forensic evidence tying Sheila to the beating and shootings still technically falls under the forensic evidence umbrella. No one has demonstrated the ballistic evidence as planted. Choosing to believe it might be though there is no evidence stems from some underlying boas not an objective following of the facts.
The blood on Sheila's arm form the wrist could have been back spatter, this was never fully examined.
1) it was determined to be her blood
2) it could not have been back spatter, back spatter looks like this:
The draw-back was fully examined in court.
I assume you mean wasn't. The prosecution discussed everything they needed to discuss and the defense had no ability to challenge any of it with an expert testimony. There is nothing to this day that can be put forth to challenge it so little wonder all the defense could do beyond suggesting maybe it was drawback from June and Nevill.
The telephone was never fingerprinted.
Why would it be? Jeremy worked there and constantly used the phone so his prints being found ont he phone would prove nothing nor would the prints of others who lived there or worked there being found on the phone matter.
Then there is the NOTW deal.
Signing a deal to provide her story doesn't in any way suggest she lied to police a year earlier or that she lied in court.
DNA?
?
Its not what is said in court that provided the best evidence its the forensic evidence that tells the truth.
Jeremy's own expert admitted the DNA had no ability to determine whose blood was found int he moderator. The DNA tests were always just a propaganda tool.
The evidence related to where the shots were fired etc reveal the killer went into the master bedroom and began shooting the parents but ran out of bullets before Nevill could be immobilized and then they proceeded to the kitchen where they fought over the gun, Nevill was beaten unconscious then the killer reloaded partially and shot Nevill to death. The killer then loaded the gun to maximum capacity (11 rounds) and went upstairs shooting June 1 time between the eyes to make sure she wwas really dead, using 8 on the boys and the last 2 on Sheila.
The forensic evidence establishes Sheila didn't kill anyone else or kill herself.
Jeremy staged bullets after the murders but staged too many.
Jeremy lied about calling Julie after police when in fact he called her before and should not have called her at all if he really received a call from Nevill as claimed.
There is no rational reason why Nevill would have called Jeremy even if Sheila had grabbed the gun but the forensic evidence shows she didn't.
