This is a facebook post from Bernard O'Mahoney in 2015.
“I have until now been unable to comment on the comments made since the release of Essex Boys the truth. This is because I was contracted to refrain from doing so until I spoke to a national newspaper.I had to laugh at the sad act who last night was asking people to post bad reviews on Amazon, 9 responded. Do you honestly think I am concerned where I am in the Amazon ratings? You wouldn't know this but books are sold in bulk to chain stores, hence the book is currently number one in crime sales. I am no longer involved in crime and am proud of that fact, I am an author that writes about matters that I believe in. For twenty years I did my best to get two convicted murderers out of prison. I knew that they were guilty but I felt one, Jack Whomes had been duped and did not deserve to be in there. All the clowns on here who talk the gangster shite, how many hours have you dedicated to to doing anything you believe in? Justice no longer exists in this country, its a game. the police chose to let Darren Nicholls walk away from a charge of triple murder, how is that right? Based on the twisted logic of the police I felt no guilt when attempting to help Whomes. However, after twenty years the task became futile as we were damaging the very people we set out to protect. As Jack Whomes father lay on his deathbed he asked his son if he was guilty and Jack assured him that he was not. Isn't a dying man entitled to the truth? Chris Bowen, a solicitor who worked for nothing for 16 years eventually suffered a breakdown because he firmly believed Steele and Whomes were innocent. A life ruined, isn't he entitled to the truth? When Steele sued the prison service for pain caused by a tooth ache he was awarded £44.500 in damages. He thought he was really clever until the authorities informed him that he now had too much money to be entitled to legal aid. So, he now sits in prison with no grounds of appeal, no solicitor and no chance of release until he admits his guilt. As recently as Friday Jacks mother was on tv saying her son is innocent, she `knows` it because he would never lie to her. Isn't that poor woman entitled to the truth? The freedom campaign has become a complete joke and all concerned need a line to drawn in the sand. As for the idiots claiming there is nothing new in my book, Nicholls is as guilty as Steele and Whomes yet walks in our midst a free man. Tate threatening to kill his mother, proof Nicholls is guilty of murder, the meadow road phone signal, the full length shotgun etc...etc...For the person who claims the film description of the murders varies to my book, it would do, the film description of the murders comes from John Whomes account, my book is my account based on scientific evidence. the internet has permitted a lot of nobodies to have opinions about matters they know very little about. Unlike the masses I spent two decades trying to assist Whomes, I consider it to be damaging now and so I have chosen to call time on what has become a charade. I appreciate ROTFS fans will be upset that the truth doesnt contain their hero, I appreciate all you clowns who have told mates you know who really did it now have egg on your faces, but look, all is not lost. Get a clean hanky, get yourself down your local cinema on the 11th, book a seat in the back row and wank over your hero and yet another fictitious film filled with bullshit until your satisfied. I am on holiday from tomorrow but will be returning after Christmas. Pop over to Conroys page in the meantime and ask him about todays judgement regarding his complaint/legal action over my lies? Clown.”
