The bureaucracy of the American healthcare system saw him simply moved from hospital to hospital for years rather than deal with him. This was actually more recent than you'd think, he was only sentenced 2 or 3 years ago.

uncommon_name wrote: » Yeah, I do see your point. I like how many interviews and phone calls etc.. are told. Its good to hear the actual calls rather than people talking about the calls they had. I think it is told a bit too slowly, too many pauses between sentences etc. But that is probably just me as I know a lot of people that love it. Each to their own as you said It is a great podcast though and a must listen. I haven't started Serial season 3 yet. I am waiting for the episodes to build up. Will start next week when episode 5 comes out. I hear it is very good though.

Basically, an entire family was killed. Neville and June Bamber, their daugher Sheila Caffell and her two young sons, Nicholas and Daniel - all shot dead. The Bamber's son, Jeremy, has been in prison for all their murders since 1986. However, he claims it was Sheila who killed them all and turned the gun on herself (she was found with two gunshot wounds to the throat). I'm so torn on this case and I still haven't made up my mind since reading the book. It was excellent and, at first, professionally impartial. But it soon became clear that the author believe's Jeremy did it and framed his sister by posing her body and blaming her numerous mental health issues. I've also listened to several podcasts covering the case and they're generally 50/50 on it. Personally, I'm just not convinced that Sheila could have done this with the drugs she was on (that left her "zombie-like"). I certainly don't think she could have beaten her father so badly. But I'm not convinced Jeremy did it, either.Link to the Case

Lady Spangles wrote: » Yes, very! While they definitely had nothing to do with the actual murder (with Jeremy claiming Neville rang him saying "Sheila's gone berserk with a gun"), they definitely had a vested interest in getting Jeremy out of the way. And it was they who found the bloodstained silencer in the cupboard. Conveniently enough.

Suckler wrote: » Yeah "Finding" the silencer was very convenient. The Boutflour family always referred to Jeremy in a derogatory manner; the prospect of him getting family* land abhorred them. *They never saw him as family; referred to as "the bast4rd"
