To think Jeremy Bamber might be innocent

Or that at the very least his conviction wasn’t safe and there needs to be a retrial? Ihe was convicted in 1985 of murdering his adoptive parents, sister and her twin sons at his parents’ farmhouse. It was at first deemed to be murder-suicide by the sister, Sheila Caffell, who was a diagnosed schizophrenic. Bamber had been on full life tarriff ever since and still protesting his innocence. I always assumed he was guilty until I listened to a podcast called Blood Family. There was a lot of evidence the jury didn’t hear, it seems the police mucked up the crime scene, his cousins had a financial motive for framing him and a police officer in the control room apparently took a 999 nonspeaking call from the farmhouse while Bamber was outside with the police, which would indicate someone was still alive at that point.

No hes a classic sociopath who was up to his eyeballs in debt and lies. He couldn't keep up the lies or bully anymore money from his family so tried to get away with murdering his family and blaming his sister to get all the inheritance.
Just because it initially looked like a murder suicide doesn't mean it was, they investigated and found that Jeremy Bamber is a family anhilater.
May I suggest that you look up family anhilaters and then look into the character of JB as you'll see he fits tge profile completely

I did because I watched something that said he could be, but then I listened or watched a rebuttal of that thing and I saw that he does really seem to be guilty.

I think his conviction is unsafe too
