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

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 Wink Does anyone else think he might be innocent?

No.

feelinlucky · 22/01/2014 16:57

I can't say why but absolutely no way!

ihatethecold · 22/01/2014 17:00

No

wetaugust · 22/01/2014 17:20

No

HoGo1 · 22/01/2014 17:54

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.

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 · 22/01/2014 17:59

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

TunipTheUnconquerable · 22/01/2014 18:11

His application for another appeal was rejected, I think.

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?

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 · 22/01/2014 20:17

Essex Murder Triangle? Shock

DoctorDonnaNoble · 22/01/2014 20:26

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 · 22/01/2014 20:30

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. Sad but because she suffered from depression it seemed a natural conclusion for some. Hmm

Mintyy · 22/01/2014 20:31

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 · 22/01/2014 20:32

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 · 22/01/2014 20:32

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

PoshPaula · 22/01/2014 20:32

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

Greythorne · 22/01/2014 20:33

I think he's guilty

RevoltInParadise · 22/01/2014 20:40

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

nennypops · 22/01/2014 22:32

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 · 22/01/2014 22:36

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 · 22/01/2014 22:37

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

GlassCastle · 22/01/2014 22:41

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 · 22/01/2014 22:42

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