(i). Is it likely that all this would happen and Nevill would leave no blood on the bedclothes or on the floor of the bedroom?

(ii). If Jeremy believed Nevill was a physical threat, why did he shoot June first?

(iii). Why did Jeremy shoot June five times?

(iv). If Jeremy is using a silencer and Nevill is asleep, why does Nevill wake?  I thought you said, or you assumed, that the use of a silencer meant the weapon lacked report?

(v). You say Jeremy shot from inches away, but you then say Jeremy walked round the bed.  This means you are assuming for the first two shots Jeremy is firing from June's side of the bed and at least two of the shots were fired into Nevill while both Jeremy and Neville are in the corner of the room nearest the door to the box room.  How come no cartridge casings were found in that area or on the bed itself, or perhaps (as a result of a ricochet effect) by the front of the bed? Note: the crime scene footfall of raid group officers converged on that point.

(vi). If Nevill and June were asleep, or at least in bed, that means both were prone or lying face up or to the side.  That being the case, why didn't Jeremy just shoot both Nevill and June in the head while they are still in bed and perhaps still asleep?

(vii). How does Nevill escape all this?  Even if we assume Jeremy ran out of ammunition, why didn't Jeremy just use the rifle stock as a bludgeon?
"If the accusation is not proved beyond reasonable doubt against the man accused in the dock, then by law he is entitled to be acquitted, because that is the way our rules work.  It is no concession to give him the benefit of the doubt. He is entitled by law to a verdict of Not Guilty." - R v Adams
