Jeremy Bamber Case

Lately, I have gone on a bit of a mad researching craze about cases relating to miscarriages of Justice. This has come about after watching 'Conviction' the film I previously blogged about, and a conversation I had about an account of a man who is in jail after 26 years for a crime he did not commit. This has  spiraled off my interest to research the ins and outs of the case, leading to inquisitive thoughts to "whodunit?".

It is the Jeremy Bamber case which I am sure many are familiar with. - Video below gives an overview of the crime, but to summarise - He has been convicted for the murder of 5 family relatives - his adopted Sister Sheila and her two sons, as well the parents June Bamber and Neville. He had been sentenced to jail for five life terms serving at least 25 years, however, in 1994 he was told he would be sentenced to a life tarrif and never be released. He is 1/38 prisoners in the UK to have been told they will never be free, and most significantly the only one to protest his innocence. 

There are so many details and conspiracies about this case, the whole investigation has been extremely misconducted by the Essex Police. Some vital evidence including the burning of the bedding and carpets of the house in which the murder was committed, as well as some key photographic evidence failed to be discussed and shown to the Jury in court. The jury voted 10:2 guilty:innocent.

The Wikipedia page has all there is to know about the case, and it explains both the prosecution and defense case. It entails all the details there is to know for you to make up your own mind. I stand by the fact Bamber has been wrongly convicted, and I believe his schizophrenic adopted sister Sheila is to blame for it. It is an intense and gripping case, definitely worth reading about: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeremy_Bamber

I am hooked on discovering more. I am following his consultants twitter page, as well as his offical website http://www.jeremy-bamber.co.uk/home with all the latest updates:

"The European Court of Human Rights is to announce their judgement on Jeremy's appeal against his whole life tariff on their web site on the 17th January 2012"
This is the day I hope Jeremy is finally given the Justice he deserves, he has fought tirelessly to clear his name. This will be his third appeal, which I hope he wins to end the torment he has unjustly suffered.
