Jeremy Bamber - innocent?

[JohnnyJones]

It seems that new evidence has come to light supporting what the chap has always said - his sister did it.

Sorry!

If this is true then poor bd. 25 years inside.

A bit sickening that this has taken so long to come out, were the jury kept in the dark in case they made the 'wrong' decision?
Wonder if this would have affected the verdict though with the DNA found on the weapon.

ANyone know the full background to the case? The Telegraph article is damning - why was the initial police log never presented as evidence?

DNA on the weapon means nowt really. They'd all have touched it.

Sounds to me like he was stitched up.

Poor bd had to watch his sister shoot his faily, then get 25 years for what she did!

IF this is factual then it appears liely he is innocent, not good at all.
If the prosecution actually withheld evidence from the defence is there any punishment in law?

Who's to say that Bamber didn't make the call himself?

Wow. If those are indeed undisputed facts then it appears at best a total cock up, and at worst a total stitch up.

If there isn't, there damn well should be - I think fitting punishment would be to equal any sentence handed out to those wrongly convicted.

Not sure about any punishment in law, but the IPCC could get involved, but any serving officers will do the normal trick of taking early retirement, so avoiding the IPCC investigation as they will only investigate serving officers.

Don't think money will be a problem if he's found to be innocent.

Indeed, more compensation than you can imagine I expect (who pays though?).

Also, very lucky that capital punishment is no longer an option. I (at times) advocate capital punishment, then a case like this comes along and I realise how dangerous it would be to bring it back.

Good to see teh PH crowd maintaining their objectivity. One newspaper report and he's suddenly an innocent man!

No one, so far, has said anything like that.

They are questioning, objectively, whether our magnificent police service have once again undermined the public's confidence..

Yes the magnificent service you all keep harking on back to. The one of twenty four years ago. I doubt if even one officer involved is even in the police service anymore.

I keep being told on here how fantastic the police were in the past how wonderful.

Yet when THEY turn out not to be posters use it as a stick to beat TODAY'S force.

After breading that article, and having my weekly dose of Columbo, we need Peter Falk on this.
