Not exactly enough to be a detailed statistic, I know, but of the 8 out of my 12 neighbours that I was with this morning, three had been personal friends of the Bambers, one had worked for the psychiatrist who first examined him, and lastly. I, whose links are more tenuous. Of those 5, only one person had doubts about his conviction. It occurs to me that our views may be a reflection of how of the rest of society is divided.
