I have to agree with Roch's post here,,a clever way of putting it.
The obvious thing for Jeremy to have done,,was to literally pick holes in the incompetency of EP,but---------that would never work on the grounds that they WERE doing their job,,but not up to the standards in which was expected of them. So in effect,,police inefficiency isn't grounds for appeal,or anything to be used in a bid for freedom.
We know what they did wasn't particularly worthy of them being on such a big case,,as a lack of foresight into knowing what could be going on inside the farmhouse where they'd already learned of ammunition galore,,,shouldn't have left them free to ponder for the length of time WASTED outside the farmhouse.
However,,as Roch said,,the TFG have remained very much in the background of all this,,,seeing EP taking the wrap for mistakes made.
My only hope now is that there's sufficient evidence/grounds from the medical " experts " ( I could do better myself ) with their full knowledge of Sheilas' illness,,which will prove once and for all that Jeremy wasn't just blaming his sisters' illness, as well as EP,,in which to" worm his way out ",,as nobody on this earth will ever listen to excuses,no matter who they are,,,and this is what it has seemed like to the pro-guilters over the years. As even at one time,,the " excuses " were in my thoughts too,,until I realised that Jeremy wasn't that stupid to make things up.
I have every confidence in the man.
The medical notes would have been with EP,,as hospitals destroy them after a certain length of time,,and those with mental illnesses are kept a bit longer,,but not this long.
If it came out as a positive result that indeed Sheila was involved,,,it would also have a bearing on the financial side of things too,,as monies aren't usually shared out that hastily when it comes to suicide.
I know it comes under a different law than the norm,,that one has to wait a few years-----------oh dear.
Whether it'll apply after so long,,I don't know,,but a lot will now depend on whether it was suicide,,and obviously can be proven as such.
I'm going to have to look it up,,but I know,,unless the law has changed,,,that you had to wait 7 years for an estate to be wound down after a suicide of a previous beneficiary.( for obvious reasons )
