conviction of Jeremy Bamber,’ he says, robotically. ‘Jeremy Bamber has been in prison for 33
years, with a judicial appeal turned down and another appeal turned down. However I am yet to
see any evidence that I would see warrants overturning his conviction at this point in time.’

I’ll take that as a no. No further questions.
