The Photo Set as Filed

The photographs in this collection are presented in filed order — the sequence in which they were sorted for the case record, not the order in which they were taken. That ordering is deliberate. It groups the set the way the documentation groups it: the hotel record first, then the judicial buildings, then the harbour, then the prison, then the closing set.

The hotel record. The Fairmont Southampton images — the side exterior, the pool, the room — establish where the trip began. They are straightforward tourist photographs, and that is exactly their function in the record: they show Bermuda as it was, before anything went wrong.

The judicial buildings and the harbour. The Bermuda Court and the Bermuda Court House photographs, and the Hamilton Harbour images, are the locations where the events documented on this site’s other pages took place. They are presented here so that any reader working through the document set has the physical locations attached to the papers.

The prison record. The Westgate Prison images close the institutional part of the set. Westgate is where the detention period on the record began, and the photographs stand in the set as its location anchor.

The full written timeline is on the Bermuda vacation story page. The corresponding video set is on the videos page, and the people who appear across the documentation are on the people involved page.
