One afternoon, a few weeks after I first reached out to Jeremy Bamber,
I opened my email and saw that I'd been sent a link.
an invitation to a cloud platform.
When I opened it, I found myself staring at a vast digital repository.
Jeremy Bamber's defence team had given me access to the sprawling case files on the murders at White House Farm.
You should know that I am a giant nerd when it comes to documents.
I love borrowing through huge piles of paper, searching for anything hidden.
But this was a truly bewildering morass.
What I had been given was not only the evidence prosecutors presented at trial as proof of Jeremy's guilt,
this repository contained a lot more than that.
There were millions of pages, police statements, typewritten memos,
barely decipherable handwritten notes, Witness interviews, radio and phone logs,
letters and diaries penned by Jeremy's relatives,
badly photocopied forensic records or topsy reports,
crime scene photos, all nice scrolled and scrolled.
