Not sure if anyone remembers this case,but there are more holes in this guys conviction than a tramps shoes.

Have a read up.

Have a read up? Errr.... that's his own website isn't it, not an independent view of the case?

[Lizard]

He has never managed to prove his innocence even remotely, he wiped out his own family.
The prisons are full of innocent people,"did you do it", nah not me mate.

[Ned]

Heh, indeed.

Coming soon - North Korea is actually very nice and everybody is really happy, according to kimjongil.com

Hey Liz

Sorry chap but you clearly have not read Number 2s post properly.

Bamber has a website now....so he must be innocent. Jesus Christ,take in all the facts next time will ya.

By a freakish coincidence I have recently started attending David Icke lectures and have become a Holocaust denier after discovering they too now have websites.

If it's on the internet it must be true,right?

Cheers

BB

Thank's for guiding me in the right direction BB, I clearly misread my No 2s.

actually watched a programme about this on the crime channel on sky the other night. there is a couple of discrepancy's in the evidence to say the least

[Kyle Richmond]

glad somebody said so, think i've seen a couple of programmes about it on cable and the case against him isn't as convincing as often made out. Seem to remember that the silencer was found weeks afterwards in a cupboard and there was something about the blood dna on it possibly being linked to rabbits..the rifle had been mainly used for shooting rabbits.Also, loads of evidence destroyed after the case etc.

Several years after the murders Roger Wilkes wrote his now classic
account - "Blood RelationS : Jeremy Bamber And The White House Farm
Murders". He tried several times to see the convicted man. He refused
saying he wished to keep his feelings private. Having got the book
down off my shelves again and tried to re-read parts it certainly shows
the blunderings of Essex C.I.D.. At the same time Bamber comes over as
a classic rich, handsome and spoiled young psychopath. He gets more
than 30 letters from fans a week, now has the website, frequent
marriage propsals....all of which keep his ego blooming. Psychopaths are
superb manipulators. Be careful number 6....or read a full 366 pp account
like the book above.

The Bamber case is unusual in that the prosection and the defence are in agreement that only 2 explanations of the case are possible. The first was the prosecution case that Jeremy Bamber had planned to shoot and had shot the 5 members of his family, and the second, the defence case, was that Sheila had run amok and shot the 4 members of her family and then committed suicide.

Several things were terrible for Jeremy Bamber's defence, notably that Sheila who was alleged to have fired 25 shots nevertheless had no gunshot residue on her. Also, the fact that Sheila was killed with 2 bullets made the suicide theory hard to believe. It looks like a bad mistake by Jeremy to not kill her with the first shot and have to fire a second. Plus her father had clearly fought for his life and had been battered about the head during a considerable struggle, but it was hard to believe that Sheila had the strength to do this. Neville Bamber was 6'4" and known to be fit and strong. The most damning fact of all for Jeremy is probably that the telephones in the house had been disabled, presumably to make sure nobody dialled 999. Disabling the telephones - done whilst running amok with a gun, or done as part of a careful plan to kill?

The police investigation of the case certainly left a lot to be desired and resulted in police procedures in such matters being tightened up.
