Pretty grim isn't it ?
Very much so.
Was that ever read out to the jury ?
Colin expressed his desire to have full custody of the twins in a letter he wrote to Nevil.http://jeremybamberforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,2762.msg91987.html#msg91987The letter was never send but it does give us a snapshot of what was going on in Colins mind at the time.
He doesn't say anything about 'custody' he said 'full control over their well being' and that is what he had as Sheila was unable to make decisions for them. The letter highlights someone living in their own world who was unable to even get out of bed in the morning and totally consistent with other description of her as being 'like a zombie' - someone 'over sedated'.
He wouldn't have full control if he didn't have full custody though.
So don’t you think the whole idea of fostering was a lie then? If Colin had full control Neville/June had no say whatsoever.
He did because they were living with him! Sheila had no inut because of her illness.
Yes, but legally she could have had them live with her too because of the joint custody.
Which is why he made it clear to Nevil that he wanted full control, for all of the reasons in his letter. At no time did he state he was going for LEGAL FULL CUSTODY. He obviously wrote the letter in anger which is why he didn't send it.
