No one who knew her claims she attemped suicide.  Jeremy supporters claim such but have no evidence to support the claim.  It was made up so you are just repeating a grapvine claim.

In the meantime after being told she killed them he didn't say anything about thinking she was capable of murder nor did he even say he believed she did it.  In his statement the following month he stated hs initial impression was that he believed she could have done it as a result of mental illness but changed his mind.  He has made clear over the years that the more he learned the more he realized she didn't do it.  He operated under the simplistic notion early on that ill peopel can kill for no reason but after thinking baout it and hearing more fromt he dcotors and more of the evidence in the case itself he realized Jeremy did it.





Evidence from a relative that she had suicidal thoughts

I can't read it all I see is a blotchy mess as if it is a mass of jelly on my end, who is it from?

In an event your claim it shows she had suicidal thoughts fails to establish she attempted to commit suicide which was the claim.

I KNOW THAT - !

I Am not stupid - but this is one statement from HELEN GRIMSTER - its in the archives I will try again.

The first implication about her having attemped suicide was in a court statement by one of the police who were with Jeremy - under questioning he admitted that Jeremy probably had not said that he had probably said the same that she had contemplated suicide.

 Just about everyone thought the poor woman was " strange " towards the end of her life.

Well---------nearly everyone. Some appear yet to be blinkered. Or in denial.

I wonder why none of these witnesses were called? One person said she scared him out his wits as she ran past him in the woods once with bare feet.

I'd have been scared too had I not known about mental illnesses. It's a frightening experience for anyone to witness.
Then again,episodes such as this one weren't mentioned.The fact that Sheila also used to bang her head on the wall too. Half the time it was probably frustration,but even that's not normal behaviour.

Thanks I actually ead the full statement yesterday. It is contained in Hartley's handy index. 

All it notes is she told Grimster that in th epast she had contemplated suicide but we already know that since she told the dcotro that.  This doesn't say when in the past she had contemplated such.  SInce this was supposed 30 March it was prior to her second course of treatment that she was referring to having contemplated it.

The claim was that she attempted suicide but obviously that claim is not supportable by there or any other evidence that has been presented. 

So again what we have is her claiming she contemplated suicide (something many people do at some point in their life I know people who have stated they contemplated it so by no means do simply peopel with mental problems think about it) and yet not acting on the thought even thought when under the influence of narcotics and not on Haldol.

If she didn't act upon it then at her worst hour one would not expect her to do so when successfully being treated on Haldol and thus her delusions were at bay. 

Her doctor would be in the best posiiton to assess what risk she presented and he saw her as no threat to actually follow through and kill herself or harm others.

People want to second guess him without any bsais just basically saying well she contemplated suicide so that means she killed herself.  To second guess him requires proof she did kill herself not jsut saying well she contemplated suicide so she killed herself.

Worse nothing fits the claim she was a danger to others.  It was claimed that she stated people are evil and must all die but that seems to have been another exaggeration.

People who commit suicide who kill dependents do so because they are responsible for the care of the dependents and with the dependents dead they no longer have an excuse to not kill themselves.  They can no longer rationalize well I have to be alive to care for my dependents.  So in a way it is a step to give them nothing to live for.  Most of the time women who do this only kill their kids, but on occasion others they are responsible for like parents who are invalids.  Men have a tendency to take their souses as well either thinking the spouse can't make it without them and is a helpless dependent as well or to make sure the spouse never has a chance to meet someone else.

Sheila's parents were certianly not dependents.  She had no reaosn to decide to kill her parents as well as her kids.  If she had decided just ordinary suicide then she would have taken her kids and then own life not have involved her parents. She had the kids ever other day and could have stabbed them or killed them in some manner other than a gun.  Even at WHF with a gun she could have simply killed them and then herself no need to involve her parents though.

Since killing her parents too does not fit the paradigm that is why the idea of her having delusions about them was floated as a way to try to acocunt for her killing them.  But that would not acocunt for her killing herself and her kids. Basically we are treated to 2 different paradigms.  She planned to kill herself an dher kids but before that she had delusions about her parents and killed them.

You don't even see that kind of thing in untreated peopel usually let alone someone on Haldol which there is no evidence at all was not controlling her delusions and which ther eis no reaosn at all would have suddenly stopped working.

If you want to say the unlikely happened then you need some strong proof to prove it happened.  But there is no physical evidence at all to establish the unlikely happened.  Instead we are told something even more unlikely happened.  Not only did 2 different paradims result in Sheila killing everyone and herself worse she managed to kill everyone without getting any evidence of having fired a wepaon on her body and vdclothing and no blood evidence of any kind an dno wounds to herself of any kind despite the killer engaging in a struggle with Nevill so severe it broke the stick of the rifle exactly where a hand would have been holding the stock. Worse yet Sheila did the impossible and after killing herself while seated propped up against something:

Her nerves enabled her dead body to:

1) remove the moderator and go put it away
2) to lie down flat on the floor causing a pool of blood to form
3) to put the bible in such pool and then to open and close it while the blood was still wet

The Court of Appeals did not consider this a close case by any measure nor does anyone who is objective and reasonable.

The only thing less likely than the chance of Jeremy supporters providing evidence that establishes Jeremy is innocent and that Sheila did it, is the chance of someone being able to provide evidence that proves the existence of Hell.

My friends son is a schizophrenic. Now this is how as I said it is very difficult to judge the right medication for this illness. My friend was just sitting in his lounge one day and his son came into the room and attacked him for no reason. When he calmed down he didn't even know what he's done. It is one of the most difficult of mental illnesses to control and treat.

Of course it's a difficult illness to treat and there's " no one size fits all " when it comes to medication as I've said before. It's trial and error in finding a medication which suits and works at the same time,as some can have the complete opposite effect to what it's meant for and therefore leaving the patient and everyone around in danger.
As an example,,I was given a medication to treat high blood-pressure,,which was actually making it worse,and if I hadn't have realised it,Lord knows what would have happened,so now I tell the GP what's suitable and what isn't and also the dosage too. Poor Sheila wasn't in any position to argue the toss over her medication.

WHat did doctors do as a result?  DO they know if he had been skipping meds?  DO they assess him as a damnger to hurt anyone as a result?

Sheila had not attached anyone during any episodes.  The worst episode anyone can come up with is Freddie's account where she never actually attacked him or anyone else and instantly calmed down upon seeing Nevill.

In the meatime that episode was a result of her not taking her medication and she had delusions about Freddie who her doctor said was a bad influence on her.  Since she admitted to taking drugs to the doctor and he wa ssupplying them that has to be part of the basis for his assessment of why he was  a bad influence one who have to assume since the rationale was not disclosed.

The simple reality is that virtually all murders or even attempted murders by schizophrenics occur while having delusions where:

1) they have never been diagnosed and thus not undergoing treatment
2) they are acting under the influence of narcotics or alcohol
3) they stopped taking their medication regularly  when you stop medication it is like when yo umiss the birth control pill sometimes, missing it throws off the effectiveness.

Another reality is that they didn't just suddenly resort to murder.  They had a history of violence and built up to it as they got progressively worse over time.

They had episodes of violence like your friend might have endured from his son that occurred with more frequency over time without any sucessful treatment intervening.

What warning signs were there with Sheila?  None no violence displayed towards otheres ever during episodes the only violence displayed against anyone was her husband during arguments throwing things at him and that was not from the illness.  In the meantime that was not recent.

The only thing worthy of note after her relase from the hostpital at the end of March is that she had all the warning signs of being over sedated.

Haldol has major tranquilizing properties which is why a countering agent is usually taken daily.  The countering agents cause agitation sometimes because they are stimulants.  She wasn't taking one  so she was being tanquilized.  Hence why her husband, mother-in-law, famaily and even friends like Freddie described her as very slow talking, vacant, tired etc.  These are all signs of being tranquilized to the point where it inhibits activity.  Her doctor stated he believed she was over medicated based on the descriptions of others.

This would not only make her less likely because she would be unlikely to become delusional in such state worse she would physically be less capable. 

This case was a very tough one for the defense because all of the evidence was in favor of the prosecution.  Rivlin often gets a bad rap but he had very little to work with.  There are cases where you can say a lawyer missed evidence he could have used and used a poor strategy. He did the best he could with the crappy case he faced.

Not sure as I don't live near him. He lives down Cornwall, I'm in Essex. I think they had to re-assess his medication?
