The limited company is reaching its 18-month maturity, which will see the submission of our first set of accounts to date. Donations are still coming in although not with quite so much frequency as we saw towards the end of last year. Nevertheless, funding has been achieved for two more forensic reports which are about to be commissioned totalling £3,420. As we haven’t reached the full amount we were expecting the funds were allocated to reports within our current price range. Our Forensic Liaison Manager Yvonne tells me in addition to this some of our scientists are working pro-bono and with confidence in their findings and Jeremy’s innocence have in turn recruited other scientists to aid our cause. Altogether there are currently 11 scientists working through material and contributing reports to ensure a robust submission to the CCRC can be made. This approach will prevent gaps in the evidence and ensures that Jeremy’s innocence cannot and will not be undermined. Submissions will also warrant and demand disclosure of evidence currently withheld by Essex Police. It is in light of this that prosecution witnesses who wish to change their testimony should come forward now. On the campaign trail this year there have been new videos from supporters, including the fascinating ‘Timeline’ and one of our Patrons Mike O’Brien discussed the importance of Jeremy having access to a filmed interview based on Mike's own circumstances when he was campaigning for release. Peter Tatchell has also been proactive in speaking to media about his letter to Essex Police for disclosure of material and continues to support Jeremy’s right to access the evidence of his innocence. Dr Dennis Eady and myself are speaking at the Liberty conference in Sheffield on Saturday the 13th of May in the hope of gaining the organization’s support for prisoners who are currently being refused disclosure of evidence. Our team effort to aid Jeremy in his release is relentless and growing in momentum every day. My interest in the case parallels the work I’m doing for my Law Degree, the penultimate year of which commences later in the autumn. It won’t be long before Jeremy is released thanks to so many contributions in many different ways from a diverse number of people all pledging their support. Trudi Benjamin, director, JB Campaign Ltd Thank you for your continued support. The Jeremy Bamber Official Campaign (JB Campaign Ltd)
