I think that was established without much doubt lookout. Mr Fletcher went through that in his statements.
Do we know for absolute certainty it was the killer weapon ?
If it wasn't Lookout Sheila could not have been the killer.
How do you make that out buddy with a few to choose from ? The way I see it is that the rifle pictured on Sheila's body doesn't appear to have been the one with the broken stock ? No matter from which angle,it looks intact.
That's why I take a lot of what the relatives said with a pinch of salt. Once they had decided that Jeremy was guilty, they made a lot of assumptions and made some sweeping statements.
In Fletcher's testimony,it seems he couldn't say which shots had been contact ones or not. Hadn't he been the expert ?
I've always been puzzled by the broken rifle as very little information was ever given about it with the piece broken off having been found in the kitchen,so it had taken a knock.
If they were speaking from their own experience, who are we to say that their statements -or which of them- were sweeping? ie whilst I CAN testify that not all farmers daughters know how to use a gun, I CAN'T say that Jeremy/Sheila?Nevill/June/The Relatives always/never/wouldn't because I simply don't know.
Well they were sweeping, that's obvious. They decided Jeremy was guilty and they helped to convince the police of that by making sweeping statement. How much weight those statements carried I don't know - hopefully not a lot.
Well Lookout, Who placed THAT gun on Sheila?
