He just wasn't involved in it, can't really blame him for not remembering something he didn't know in the first place.
In 2011, millions of pages of documents regarding the case were finally released to the CT.
Regrding the COLP interviews and in particular Davidson -
Within paragraph 17 of the
précis of the statement compiled as a result of the interviews, it claims Davidson asserted, that on the
9th August 1985, he was tasked with examining a number of objects including a
sound moderator.
This can only be SBJ/1, the exhibit reference for the police officer Stanley Brian Jones.
The evidence now reveals that not only was this sound moderator recovered by Jones from the scene on the day of the tragedies - but a second one was found by the relatives on the 10th August and was handed into the police, coincidentally to Stanley Brian Jones - who collected it on August 12th from Peter Eaton.
The sound moderator allegedly and falsely claimed by police to be the only one examined - was the one found on 10th August. The existence of the first moderator was hidden - but the forensic evidence from each was merged to create the false impression only one sound moderator existed.
The COLP documentation proves beyond any doubt that a sound moderator SBJ/1 was taken by DS Jones on 7th August and examined by DS Davidson on Friday 9th August before Jeremy’s relatives had been given access to WHF.
The fact that the police did indeed find a sound moderator on the 7th August was inadvertently confirmed by ACC Simpson, who told the Press that a sound moderator had been found at WHF on 7 August 1985.
