Jeremy Bamber proven innocent?

[lookout]

I very much doubt he say anything publicly, although I do have to say that he wasn't too hostile about her to me - he used to call her Julie Mugshot. However, is attitude towards Colin was despicable!

Maybe because it was the way that Colin quickly turned ?

How "quickly" did Colin turn? He doesn't come over as being someone who does things in a hurry but the circumstances were extraordinary. His world had collapsed. I think he was entitled to react, especially after having been so supportive of Jeremy.

Colin was the last to believe he was guilty and he is the ONLY TRUE victim. There is no excuse for Bamber turning on him - none!

Well, if that came to light - it wouldn't be Julie what would have things to answer, it would be EP. However, given that she did/dose have immunity, presumably couldn't be charged anyway? I'm no Julie fan but I would rather she walk that a 5 times murderer. I think she has since done her best to become a decent person and should get credit for that. I guess it depends on whether you think Bamber is innocent or guilty.

If she has been given immunity it would be virtually impossible to charge her now.  I think you are right in that your attitude to JM depends to a large extent upon whether you think JB is guilty or innocent.  The only point I have been trying to get across is that whatever your view overall on the case JM comes out of it very badly indeed.  She is very lucky, on any view.

I second that NGB and I think Jeremy guilty

I agree and have always said that I don't think we have the full story and doubt we ever will.

I don't remember having attacked you personally. How personal can you get by raking up a 34-year-old case by trying to find a crack which is irrelevant to the verdict and which may result in discord between Julie and her family?

A search of posts will reveal you have certainly attacked me personally.  I am not motivated by any desire to cause problems between JM and her family.  JB in fact got on very well  with JM's mother and looked after her in ways I will not detail here.  The files relating to police interaction with JM's mother have been withheld under PII.  This is not good.

[ngb1066]

Why would the police have to put intense pressure on her. She had already told 5 people. Talking to the police was the natural next step.

The police needed evidence.  They did not have much if any.  Cracking Julie was the breakthrough Stan Jones wanted and needed.

I certainly wouldn't have been in a hurry to tell the world she was my daughter!!! I think she was bright enough to realize that she'd scuppered any plans she'd had for a teaching career here. She didn't come out of it covered in glory. However, she's 34 years older now.

I agree. 

[Kaldin]

Did she finish her teaching degree, or whatever it was?

I think she did.

[Kaldin]

I think she did.

I don't know how she could concentrate.

I don't know how she could concentrate.

It was easier for her because she had a vast sum of money from the NoW deal.  She had in any event by the trial finished the main part of her course.

As soon as the jury foreman said gulity at Jeremy nevill Bamber. Julie felt secured...
