Jeremy Bamber Trial By Media?
« on: May 25, 2011, 07:33:PM »
Much has been made about a couple of picture that the media published where JB was smiling and JB has since that was a smile for his friends like "I am okay"  I have posted a few different photos that portray JB in a different light.
A number of people testified at Jeremys trial and I have listed some below

Paul Osborne who ran a Colchester Snooker Club said in a written statement that he knew  Jeremy as a pleasant, polite and straightforward person he added  that he seemed to work hard and enjoyed a good relationship with his family.

Charles Lapridge who sold the Bambers some machinery for the farm described Jeremy as easy to deal with and Jeremy got on well with his father. He'd never caught a whiff of any trouble between Jeremy and his family when he visited the farm.

The housekeeper at White House Farm Jean Boutell had worked for the Bambers for twenty years and had never heard Jeremy say anything bad about his family.

A Colchester Chartered surveyor Richard Buck said Jeremy was a straightforward type of person. Out of his family I found it most easy to deal with him

The landlord of the Chequers Goldhanger described Jeremy as a model customer.

I think while discussing this case we should look at everyones view on Jeremys character

He was convicted on evidence stronger than statements as to his character.

I have sat on a jury at a murder trial and the way a person is portrayed can affect a jurors decision especially if someone is convicted on circumstantial evidence

The people who testified that I have listed give a totally different account of Jeremy than the relatives or Mugford and her Mother or the relatives and I think everyone would agree the housekeeper would have know Jeremy better than Mugford.  The relatives couldnt even tell one twin fronm the other

Slaters more than the housekeeper?

More than the Chequers pub where he used to eat most nights?

You are right, Jackie. I was very young when this case hit the headlines and would not normally have been interested in a case like this - had too may other things on my mind then! Yet I clearly recall this case and what I remember most is how it suddenly changed and how confusing that was. It seemed that one day the press and media focus was that Sheila did it, the next day, all change, Jeremy did it. It didn't seem to make any sense.

I did not believe that Jeremy had done it and I remember thinking that there was something odd going on.

I also recall the press suddenly demonising Jeremy.

I've always wanted to do a really long case. If only to be able to legitimately not go to work.
