Jeremy Bamber proven innocent?

[Steve_uk]

Was it not around this time that he decided to drop into the mix the fact of his father sounding terrified? Odd, don't you think, after having been asked why he didn't call 999, he said he didn't think it was urgent?

Yes Jane: the expression "over-egg the pudding" comes to mind.

[lookout]

Terrified ? Would that have been because Sheila had been brandishing a rifle ?

So why wasn't there an urgency in Jeremy Bamber's actions subsequently?

Nevill was already dead by the time Jeremy called the police, possibly why he didn't dial 999 - he knew the emergency was over!

Well if the " terrified " bit referred to " over-egging " there'd have been no need for a 999 call, so he ,NB, was either terrified or he wasn't. What do you think the call sounded like ? Always supposing that you believed that there was a call-----most don't.

One might have thought such had that been the case. However, Jeremy didn't think there was any urgency, hence not only did he NOT call 999, he took his time calling the police.

f course he doesn't believe there was a call, he thinks Bamber is guilty so the terrified aspect is moot! He didn't dial 999 because there was no emergency!

I don't believe there was, but as so often in this case Jeremy is condemned by the very words which sprout from his mouth.

Exactly just like in the following!

But it's not about what WE, in the here and now, think. It's about how Jeremy reacted to an alleged -and frantic- call from his father at silly o'clock, telling him Sheila had gone mad and got hold of a gun. Jeremy, it seems, sees no urgency in the situation -didn't he state as much- do calmly diddles his way through a few of the local police stations, making abortive calls, phones Julie, then phones the police, at which point he changes his mind and tells them his father had sounded terrified. Did he not later tell someone that it was possible that his father had already been shot?!!!! But it wasn't urgent!!!

Now you've got it! Which is why he didn't dial 999

This was Jeremy's tale to Colin.

Thanks Steve.

Why would Bamber be making excuses for touching a bible usually kept in his parents bedroom?

I don't think so. According to Pc West, Jeremy told him that his father sounded terrified, but I don't think this was mentioned or alluded to in any way by Jeremy in his statements or interviews. However, I haven't checked whether any other police officer that Jeremy spoke to (at WHF, for example) said that Jeremy mentioned this to them.
