“As soon as the dirt is dug up and the public no then my Darling Mummy will my Babys and me go to our rest” Jeremy Bamber's sister Sheila. Sometimes it really IS 'mental health' Brilliant long-read by Heidi Blake in The The New Yorker Empowering the Innocent (ETI) newyorker.com/magazine/2024/…

Extremely long but riveting account of one of the most notorious murder cases in modern British history. Fascinating to read U.S. perspective. Gripping story by Heidi Blake in @newyorker of another case with shaky foundations newyorker.com/magazine/2024/…

This is a fantastic piece of journalism on the Jeremy Bamber case by Heidi Blake. It's wonderful that the New Yorker has the confidence to publish compelling epic pieces like this and its recent Lucy Letby investigation raising vital questions about British justice

Empowering the Innocent (ETI) (@empowerinnocent) 's Twitter Profile Photo

Jeremy Bamber update: Article by Heidi Blake in The New Yorker. Meticulously researched. Extremely well written. Powerful counter discourse. newyorker.com/magazine/2024/… How long will the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC) sit on his latest application? Justice delayed is justice denied.

Police described Jeremy Bamber as a “calculated killer” who had murdered his family for the “vast wealth” he stood to gain. Were they withholding crucial evidence? nyer.cm/IBLuuJI

I love these New Yorker long reads, especially when the subject is murder. Here's a good 'un, looking into whether Jeremy Bamber might be innocent of the 1985 White House Farm killings... I've long thought there's a more than 50% chance that he is.

Today, I asked Heidi Alexander MP whether, in light of failings such as the case of Andrew Malkinson, the government would increase the resources and improve the regulations, guidelines and organisation of the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC) to stop innocent people being wrongly incarcerated.

Such an important story. Context: Saudi Arabia is the United States’ largest foreign military sales customer, with more than $100 billion in active FMS cases, per the State Department.

In memos to Saudi palace medics, the royal family’s physician warned of “a disastrous outcome with severe permanent impairment or even untimely death” of King Abdullah’s four imprisoned daughters. His concerns were dismissed. nyer.cm/ISPzrGa

When the physician Dwight Burdick first reviewed the Saudi princesses’ medical charts, he was dismayed to learn that they were being regularly dosed with Valium, Ativan, Xanax, and Ambien. “They’re chemically immobilizing them,” he recalled thinking. nyer.cm/ARvRm5w
