He said he planned to label it SJ/1 but labeled it SBJ/1 instead because he spoke with Jones and that was what Jones wanted to use. The lab says it had SBJ/1 on the label on Aug 13 when it arrived and that is what Cook it at the time Jones handed it to him.rote on the Holab forms he filled out on Aug 13. you are just spinning your wheels.
No, he did not - he didn't say that at all in the typed version of his COLP witness statement which I have got possession of, He states that he was not aware that DS Jones had got a middle Christian name, when Jones handed him the silencer, which Cook says did not have an exhibit label attached to it by that stage. Cook refers to making a hand written entry into his police pocketbook, 'SJ/1', but claims the exhibit reference he put on the label was 'SBJ/1'. Yet this explanation is inconsistant, since, if Cook had indeed wrote 'SBJ/1' on the label at the lab', which both he and Glenis Howard signed in positions 2 and 3 on the aforementioned exhibit label, (a) why then does Cook record the exhibit reference for that silencer, as 'SJ/1' in his pocket book entry afterwards? (b) why does the exhibit label bearing Ron Cooks, and Glynis Howards signatures refer to the silencer as exhibit reference, 'DRB/1', with no sign of there ever having been any other exhibit reference of either, 'SJ/1', or 'SBJ/1', written on the same exhibit label?
When the COLP investigators put this glaring anomaly to Ron Cook, his reply was along the following lines, "that is the very first time that anyone had pointed this out to him"...
So, what answer did he give - "bugger all", because he knew that he and the other conspirators had "dropped a clanger" in processing the false silencer evidence in the case...
