Jeremy Bamber - Is this the worst MoJ in British criminal history?

[HoGo1]

I watched a prog on C5 a few weeks ago re the above. I've also spent a fair bit of time researching the case (there's a mountain of docs on the 'Jeremy Bamber Forum') I have a feeling we will be hearing much more about this in the not too distant future Does anyone else think he might be innocent?

[ohmymimi]

No.

[feelinlucky]

I can't say why but absolutely no way!

[ihatethecold]

No

[wetaugust]

No

[HoGo1]

Oh that's interesting! Are you able to say why you're so sure? It seems to me that the 'evidence' he was convicted on is a bit flimsy to say the least.

[TunipTheUnconquerable]

I have no idea, and I grew up in that area so I've followed the case fairly closely over the years. Very hard to say.

[MooncupGoddess]

Didn't he appeal against the verdict recently, and lose the case?

[TunipTheUnconquerable]

His application for another appeal was rejected, I think.

[BMW6]

I remember that programme, then saw another which pointed to his guilt and disproved the "innocent" theories.

TBH the only reliable source IMHO would be the original Court presented evidence.

There is soooo much made-up shite on the Internet. And a TV programme is commissioned to take an angle, so will be predjudiced from the start.

I remember the original trial evidence. He did it and framed his sister, Bambi. IMHO. He had a fair trial and appealed and lost. No-one "out there" is cleverer/has inside info, to believe otherwise is rather arrogant?

[DoctorDonnaNoble]

Also live in the area. Love reading up on the Essex Murder Triangle. Don't think it's a miscarriage of justice. He regularly appeals. Gets nowhere.

[TunipTheUnconquerable]

Essex Murder Triangle?

[DoctorDonnaNoble]

Yup, an area of North Essex where there's been several murders over the years including Bamber and the Murder in the Red Barn. It's quite a rural area so it gets mythologised a little.

[VoyageDeVerity]

Instinct tells me he's guilty and I have read a lot about this case over the years.

The idea that his sister went nuts with a gun and decided to shoot her babies doesn't cut it for me at all. but because she suffered from depression it seemed a natural conclusion for some.

[Mintyy]

I've read a lot about this case over the years and I think he's guilty based on everything I've read - not instinct!

[Fairylea]

I'm not sure really. It's easy to buy into it all if you go by the website that obviously supports him but you have to remember that he's appealed so many times and got nowhere so that says a lot I guess.

[TunipTheUnconquerable]

Oh, with Coggeshall in it? Lots of murders there for some reason.

[PoshPaula]

I have read a great deal about this case and I believe him to be guilty.

[Greythorne]

I think he's guilty

[RevoltInParadise]

Oh dear this is the first time I have heard of the Essex murder triangle....eek!

[nennypops]

I think he's guilty. If you concentrate your reading on what is on his website, it's not surprising that you'll start thinking he's innocent, because obviously he doesn't post the stuff that goes against him. But I think often even his supporters' stuff condemns him, because they really tie themselves up in knots trying unsuccessfully to find things that help him or explain away the damning evidence.

[VivaLeBeaver]

I did read somewhere that a police officer had made a statement saying that while they were all outside watching the house with Bamber who'd met them there they could see someone moving around in the house.

There do seem to be some odd things which don't quite add up.

But my gut feeling is he's guilty.

[TheFabulousIdiot]

I have spent a while 'researching the case' and think he is guilty. Who do you think did it OP?

[GlassCastle]

I knew his Gf at the time.

I don't whether whether he is innocent or guilty. What I am suspicious of is a lack of transparency in the judicial process and vested interests in not allowing further evidence o testimony to be admitted or re-examined.

That makes me suspicious in itself.

[VivaLeBeaver]

daily mail but interesting new evidence about the phones

[VivaLeBeaver]

Didnt he tell his gf he was going to hurt/kill his parents?
