A small group of officers were sympathetic to the relatives and not bothered about what went on at the farmhouse at that point? They didn't close ranks to stop top brass finding out about this 'thing'? Some even jumped ship but it still managed to hit top brass? So is this conspiracy with just a few officers or at the heart of EP as a whole - it's rather confusing. Also, if they wanted the evidence to fail, why include a blood filled silencer which if discovered would mean far more than something that happened at the farmhouse. None of this rings true for me.
You might have misunderstood my post. The top brass as far up as Simpson already know what happened in the farmhouse - i.e. Harris / Simpson. So there would be no need for more junior officers to close ranks to prevent top brass from finding out.
I dont know what you mean about officers jumping ship and hitting top brass?
I think people concentrate too much on who is at the 'heart' of any conspiracy.
There are probably officers who knew exactly what happened in the farmhouse - who expressed concerns upon being shown videos of crime scene photos - but who were not prepared to take it any further than that. It was not these officers' decison to prosecute JB.
There are some investigative officers who knew what happened and it's been alleged other officers were not privy to the same level of knowledge at the outset. Some officers arrived later than others. Some officers were only required in a certain aspect of the case and will have concentrated on their duties. Some officers will have viewed the crime scene close up while others enerting the farmhouse may have glanced without entering in to any detailed study.
Traditionally - EP have managed the case in a defensive manner i.e. Jeremy Bamber was convicted in a court of law - Jeremy Bamber has had access to the appeals process - Enquiries have not uncovered anything to suggest the conviction is wrong etc etc etc. In that sense the conspiracy
is wider.
