Title: Simon McKay No Longer Representing Jeremy
Post by: Caroline on September 25, 2014, 12:36:PM
Last night I emailed Simon McKay for 'further' clarification on the logs (even though there is more than enough to prove they were available in court) and he told me he couldn't help because he longer represents Jeremy.

 I wonder why that is ? Unless it's to do with funds.

Funds Lookout? Jeremy hasn't got any money, he'd be on legal aid.

 This was bandied about a few weeks ago,but proved to have been unfounded,so we'll see.

Are you saying that I'm lying Lookout? HE told him HIMSELF I'm not bandying anything and I resent the implication that I'm making it up.

It was hinted at some time ago (if you read between the lines) but there was no formal announcement.  I think there is unlikely to be an announcement in the near future, although I could be wrong about that.  Information flow is very tightly controlled.

Caroline,don't be so quick to accuse.I didn't even mention " lying ". I took it as hearsay as it happened before,that's all.

He can't get legal aid. He depends upon the generosity of his supporters. I must admit that I do not and have never given him any money personally.

Probably the longwindedness of the CCRC. It would put anyone off. Do they by any chance have access to documents that are being held under PII,or EP ?

Post by: Mr. Gee on September 25, 2014, 01:21:PM
Well it appears that if Bamber is innocent then only a miracle will get him out of gaol now. This is one thing that keeps me doubting his guilt. If he was guilty then I believe he would have confessed by now so that at least he would get a chance to see freedom in his lifetime? Only a guess mind you, for I cannot vouch for the state of his mind.
I am of the opinion that if there is a million to one chance that a convicted person is after all innocent then I will search even to the point of exhaustion to find evidence that may show them to be. But Simon McKay bowing out is indeed gloom and doom for Bamber.

IN MY OPINION, give the huge scale of evidence in this case, if jb is indeed innocent then he needs a far bigger legal team than that provided by Simon McKay. People seem to have the perception that he is some kind of miracle worker who will simply find the evidence to secure jb's freedom.

Let's get in the real world, as it doesn't work anywhere near like that. It's all very well saying jb's previous legal teams have failed him but i don't think people appreciate the sheer scale of the case.

The campaign team or this website aren't going to free jb from jail. IF he is innocent, then REAL, TANGIBLE evidence is required. I still haven't seen any.

It's all well and good debating how the investigation was flawed, trial unfair, evidence weak.........that now means nothing. For jb to overturn his conviction he needs NEW evidence which points to his innocence. It is not enough for him to show that they cannot prove him guilty.

If people on this website genuinely want to try to 'make a difference' if they believe jb is innocent then consider what they can do. eg. jb obviously needs funds, but fundraising for a convicted child killer is not easy. Publicity, high profile support etc.   This has all been discussed before but v v v little appears to have been done.

As things stand i still haven's seen anything tangible that point me to jb's innocence despite repeated claims. IF these claims are true It's time for people who have made such claims to stand up and be counted otherwise jb will remain where he is until his death.

I understand it was amicable, and by mutual agreement.  Somon McKay did not pull away from the case.  He was prepared to continue acting as he regards the case as a MoJ.  There were apparently different views about the best way forward.

The CCRC have powers to call for all case documents, including material held under PII.  Unfortunately experience suggests that they are generally unwilling to use their powers to the full.

Post by: lookout on September 25, 2014, 01:50:PM
It's pretty difficult to rustle up " new " evidence if the man was nowhere near the place. There'd be neither evidence nor alibi if he was in bed. It's what's known as really hard luck and there's little else anyone can do about it. Jeremy was an easy target and that's that.

It's like any of us if we were in that same situation. Is ANYONE going to believe a word we say ? No,of course not.

I'd be more worried that jb has chosen to part ways with him as he wanted to go in a different direction.

There is an insinuation that jb thinks he knows better than his legal team which is both worrying and foolhardy.

Yes.  It can be an uphill struggle dealing with the CCRC.  They have a vast caseload and are underfunded.  They are supposed to carry out investigations themselves and sometimes they do, but more often they expect the defence to do the work and present them with new evidence.  This is very hard to do because there is no legal aid available.

Ultimately he has to make his own decisions on important matters such as this.  He has changed his legal representation several times.

I have not had any active involvement since the last submissions and the Judicial Review.  I remain in contact with Jeremy.

True, but it would appear foolhardy to repeatedly do so.

It obviously becomes much more difficult for a new legal team as in effect they are starting from scratch, with different impetus and focus.

I appreciate in certain cases a fresh look can be what is needed. Equally I don't know how far the line Simon McKay was with regard future submissions but it seems like a lot of his work will now be wasted due to what I consider a poor decision from jb.

Obviously i'm aware work and information can be passed on to the new team but its not the same.

I have a fair idea of the issues but do not have any detail.  I can say that Jeremy expresses optimism and seems confident that real progress is being made.  I would not like to express an opinion without having more information.

I am here not because of luck but because of the persistent asking of various members and ngb. To be sure it was not my intention in coming back You're nothing but a self righteous hypocrite. So mind your own business. Oh I forgot to put you on ignore.

Mat, thank-you. I, too, have no recall of saying what Grahame has accused me of....................ALTHOUGH it's feasible that if he'd been uttering some of those things he has earned a reputation for, I MAY have called him rude. I feel sure we've ALL been called much worse but if my use of that word gives him cause to erase me from his life, so be it.

If people on this website genuinely want to try to 'make a difference' if they believe jb is innocent then consider what they can do. eg. jb obviously needs funds, but fundraising for a convicted child killer is not easy. Publicity, high profile support etc.   This has all been discussed before but v v v little appears to have been done.

As things stand i still haven's seen anything tangible that point me to jb's innocence despite repeated claims. IF these claims are true It's time for people who have made such claims to stand up and be counted otherwise jb will remain where he is until his death.

A bigger legal team can work faster but a small practice can stioll be up to the task.

I am a realist.  Realistically there is no hope at all of finding any documents that will help clear Jeremy.  The defense basically hopes and prays police framed Jeremy and that they set out right away to do it.  What documents could realistically exist that would demonstrate such?  There are none.

Most documented MOJs feature changed testimony and other verbal admissions of wrongdoing.  It doesn't matter whether you are a big firm or little firm the only way that would happen is if people decide to come clean.  I doubt anyone would drastically change their story and to be honest don't really see anything that police could admit to having done that would clear Jeremy if they did come clean.

Police initially blamed Sheila, thus would not have hid bloody clothing she wore over her gown as she killed everyone or other such evidence to conceal her actions.  They would have had such evidence processed to support their view of her guilt.

The biggest problem facing any defense is that all the evidence points to Jeremy's guilt and there is realistically no way to refute such evidence using existing testimony or other documents.

Only a drastic change in testimony that amounts to a bombshell admission could do so but a bombshell admission might not even be credible if it makes no sense and no evidence to support it were to materialize.

The allegation from Jeremy supporters is that police did things right away to frae Jeremy and yet the evidence indicates that for several weeks the police believed Sheila did it.  Only after Julie came forward with her tale and after the lab fully processed the evidence finding that Sheila was shot while sitting up then moved flat after her death, shot with the moderator attached and then the killer put it away and had no GSR or elevated lead levels so clearly could not have killed herself did police change their theory of the crime.

Jeremy's supporters are being extremely unrealistic alleging police immediately set out to conceal evidence and frame Jeremy which of course is not true.  Take for instance Reader who keeps insisting PC West decided to conceal from Jeremy that his father had called in case police wanted to later blame Jeremy so this way Nevill's call could be completely hidden and it would not be able to be used by Jeremy as part of his defense.  These kind of claims where police set out to distort the very second Jeremy called are absurd.

Other than a bombshell change in testimony only a major scientific breakthrough could result in the conviction being overturned.  For instance proof that blood was planted in the moderator.  If the blood was planted though it was done so expertly there is no way to prove it was planted through science it would require a credible bombshell admission by those who did it explaining when and how.

Aside from trying to bother witnesses to see if they will change their story- and they can refuse all contact from the appellate lawyers if they choose they don't have to correspond if they don't want to- there is little a defense team can do.

The only other thing that can be done is to have experts try to speak to Vanezis more about the damage he saw from the fatal wound that indicated to him it was a contact wound and try to figure out a way to establish it was not a contact wound.

But such could and should have been done at trial.  You lose all arguments you fail to make at trial so it would be hard to raise such on appeal unless new science were involved in questoning his assessment and it would have to be pretty strong evidence that it definitely was not a contact wound.

The implication of such would be to argue such proves the blood in the moderator was June and Nevill's.  That means for all of Jeremy's claims to be true and Sheila to be the killer she had to go to the closet to get the moderator and attach it before attacking anyone.  Then after killing everyone she removed it and put it away in the closet.  Why would she do that?  It conflicts with her being in the throes of a crazy rage.  She also had to have decided that though 30 bullets remained in the kitchen supply she had been using, to go to the closet to grab 5-7 bullets more.  That makes no sense.  Then there is still the question of how she could fial to get blood spatter from the victims on her clothing, especially spatter from Nevill as he was beaten, how she woudl not get her prints in the blood on the weapon and how her clothing could fail to get even a single particle of GSR or hwo she coudl move her body flat after death.

So saying it was June and Nevill's blood is still not going to convince a court that Jeremy is innocent.

For Jeremy to be innocent requires a conspiracy on a grand scale AND a great number of extremely unlikely things to have occurred.  The chances of such are basically nil and the chance of finding a way to prove it even less.  The size of the firm isn't the problem the task is.

I have a legal background but it only gives me general expertise in the field not inside information in this case.

I have the same information everyone else does here.

You ignore all tha tinformaiton and know absolutely nothing at all about the facts of this case  You are too uninterested in facts to actually read the archive section and become informed.

I do believe the appeals have gone as far as they can go there is little else than can be done.

Juggling defense counsel loses some time as a new counsel gets up to speed but otherwise is not a major deal. 

I have a feeling that the juggling is that Jeremy wants them to allege things that can't ethically be alleged based on the evidence available and he is shopping for peopel who are willing to do so.

At this point they already searched through everything that can be of value.  There is no realistic chance of finding evidence that can establish his innocence and it is readily apparent he is guilty and that they had simply been looking for ways to argue for a new trial based on a "technicality".

There could never be a retrial with evidence destroyed and many witnesses now deceased. And Jeremy has made it clear that he does not wish to be released on any 'technicality'. He would only want to be released as an innocent man.

After all,the Bamber murders was supposed to have been the worst crime of the century and it must have been expected to have received a unanimous verdict,so why wasn't it ?

The evidence is ploud and clear.  There is considerable evidence that Sheila can't have killed herself, can't have killed anyone else, that Nevill can't have called Jeremy and that Jeremy lied about leaving the gun and bullets out before leaving the house.  Evidence proves he staged the bullets after he murdered eveyrone.

You just don't want ot face the eivdence so you simply say it doesn't exist.  You can't refute it you just lie and say there is none.  That just makes you living in a sad state of denail it doesn't sugges tJeremy is innocent.

The evidence has already been posted numerous times, you keep saying it is too long to read or that you simply refuse to believe it.  That just means you are living in denial and you just proved it lound and clear with you claim that June or Nevill killed Sheila.

Even if one of the parents killed Sheila why would they kill their spouse and they surely would have to have committed suicide then.  Neivll coudl nto have shot himself in the head 4 times to commit suicide.  June can't have shot herself multiple times to comit suicide.

They especially can't have shot and killed themselves with a rifle that was no where near their bodies and then after dying have place it near Sheila.   

What you are demonstrating is that you refuse to face Jeremy committed the murders and will accept anyone except him committed the murders no matter how silly and contrary to the evidence such claim is.

You are not operating on the basis of facts and evidence simply bias.  You choose to live in denial.

No I assume she was asserting Sheila killed the kids before the parents killed her.  Of course she attacks June enough that she could have suggested June killed them too.  I think it is sufficient to point out the problems with either parent committing suicide without needing to complicate matters with who killed the boys.

Jeremy isn't in a position to sue anyone Lookout - being called a murderer when you are serving a sentence for murder, doesn't give him much of a leg to stand on.
