why doesnt jeremy go back to retrieve the silencer.

[nugnug]

but what made them study it.

if there was nothing visble to the eye why would they.

[maggie]

If it was SO minute that it couldn't be seen unless it was studied very closely -minutely, even!!!- he probably wouldn't have bothered if it wasn't IMMEDIATELY obvious.

Apparently not but it's difficult to understand.  AE tells us about the jelly like blob and the attached hair.  I can only think that AE is the worst witness ever or she didn't actually ever see it and put her own spin on the idea of it 

[nugnug]

if the silencer looks as it has allways looked they have no reason to study it or even notice it.

Perhaps you should ask them, Nugs.

For starters the fact that the moderator and scope were always left on the gun and used with the gun so his claim he found the gun without them was not in the least bit credible.

they wouldn't of known what Neville did with his guns they dident live there.

Maggie, you may have a point. In her eagerness to make them see how important it might be, she may well have exaggerated its' size, a trait often adopted by others.

if there was nothing visble to the naked it contradicts the relatives cliams about finding it.

if there was then it begs the qustion of why jeremy dident clean it.

He must have known it would throw suspicion on him if recovered. I can only surmise it was either one of his innumerable practical jokes which went awry or a person or persons unknown planted it there for Police to peruse.

She may have, or she may never have seen it therefore her imaginary 'blob' didn't exist and we know it couldn't have existed as she described it because the blood would have dried, turned dark brown and disintegrated. I can accept there may have been a small drop of blood inside the moderator but I cannot accept what AE described.

I'm certain he would have if:-

A) He saw it

B) He took time to study it minutely

C) It was in the form Ann describes it

D) It was ever there.

[nugnug]

or her wanted to get caught but then if he wanted to be cought i doubt if he would of protested his innocence for god knows how long.

AP found the gun in the closet with the scope and moderator attached.  He put it away in the same manner.  Nevill would have zero reason to ever remove the scope.  They knew about weapons and thus knew that if you remove a scope you must re-zero it.  You only remove a scope if you are putting a weapon away for long term storage.  There was no reason to even remove the scope during cleaning.  The barrel of the weapon could be removed without any need to remove the scope.

The moderator would be removed for cleaning but would be reattached.  There was no reason to use the weapon without both.  There was every reason to use both.  The only exception to this rule is that the scope would not be used for close quarter shooting.  But there was no reason for any close quarter shooting except the murders.

The fact Jeremy removed the scope is very damning because the only reason he would remove it would be in anticipation of the murders.  But even worse he lied saying the weapon could not fit int he closet with the scope and moderator attached.  AP refuted this lie and police checked and found AP to be accurate.  Jeremy then changed his story and claimed it could not fit in its case with them attached and that they put it in its case.  This was an even bigger lie- Nevill didn't by any hard plastic case for it like AP had for his weapon. 

Why did he lie and say the weapon didn't fit unless the scope and moderator were removed?  These lies were to provide a reason for the scope and moderator to be removed because there was no legitimate reason.
