This will be of direct interest to Jeremy and his legal team:-
The following facts are proven beyond doubt...
(1) - a total of 7 DB exhibits, were handed over to the police by Ann Eaton on the 11th September 1985 ( DB /1 to DB/7 inclusive) one of these was a parker hale sound moderator...
(2) - steps were taken to conceal the hand over of the silencer at the scene (whf) on the 11th September 1985, by altering the details of what Ann Eaton had actually handed over to police that day. In this version of events Ann Eaton only handed over 6 exhibits, marked DB/2 to DB/7....
(3) - Ann Eaton also handed over to police 2 further itetms to police in the 11th September 1985, these were exhibits, AE/1 and AE/2...
(4) - The silencer sent to the lab' on 30th August 1985, was not silencer DB/1, because that silencer ( DB/1) did not get handed over to the police by Ann Eaton, until the 11th September, some 13 days too late to be the silencer sent to lab' on 30th August. I can now reveal that the silencer sent to the lab' on that occasion was silencer SBJ/1, found at the scene by DS Jones, as reported by PC Whiddon (the exhibits officer) in his COLP witness statement. ..
(5) - the lab' sent silencer SBJ/1 back to the police for the first time on 13th November 1985, which freed up the silencer (DB/1) handed to police by Ann Eaton on 11th September. This resullted in some documentation being altered where the exhibit reference SBJ/1, was changed into DB/1....
(6) - only 2 exhibit labels, existed, both bearing signatures, one bearing the solitary identification mark of DB/1, the other bearing the identification mark DB/1 (crossed out), DRB/1 (replacing it). There is no exhibit label marked SBJ/1 bearing any signatures. This proves that silencer SBJ/1 was a different silencer than the one marked DB/1 and DRB/1. Moreover, the prosecution has failed in that respect because there is no proper link between silencer SBJ/1 and DB/1, nor between SBJ/1 and DRB/1. The closest they get to merging more of these silencers into the same one, was by presenting the two signed exhibit labels, aforementioned...
(7) - the blood group activity (A, EAP BA, AK/1 and HP 2-1) was supposed to have been found in the baffles of silencer DB/1, but we now know that silencer DB/1 was not handed over to police by Ann Eaton until 11th September, so the key blood group evidence must have been found inside a different silencer. I have identified this other silencer as SBJ/1. This was handed back to police from the Lab' on 13th November, never to surface again...
