How do I or anyone else for that matter know how everyone conducted themselves that night ? It's no use getting on to me all the time--------ask yourself what you've asked here then try to come up with answers that are YOURS and not gleaned from others, which is what I've done all along !
Jeremy wouldn't have heard any noises coming from any open line because after he'd spoken to his father he rang JM to say they was something wrong at WHF----thus disconnecting the previous call from his father. Unfortunately, JB couldn't get through again because the hone was off the hook at the other end.
Because you're the one who claims to know exactly what Jeremy would have thought and done. You've condoned everything he did. Every act that others find abhorrent, you've supported. You claim to think calling 999 is a useless waste of time and that Jeremy was justified and right in wasting around 20 minutes before informing the police of the alleged call from his father. You now say that he wouldn't have heard anything because the call was disconnected, but didn't he phone back immediately? Are you now saying he phoned Julie BEFORE phoning his father back? How does that make sense when there's a gun involved? Might it not have occurred to him THEN, that something might be seriously wrong? Yet STILL he doesn't call 999.
Remember, Lookout, I once was, for a LONG time, where you are now. I heard myself saying similar words to the ones you're still saying, much of which seem to start with "but". Whatever, and whom ever the "but" is about, it's usually as an excuse for something they've done. At the very least, where there's a "but" there's doubt. I've looked, long and hard, and from every angle, and if nothing else, the alleged phone call and his response to it, is a stumbling block every time. It's a quick leap from there to recognizing that none of his behaviours signify grief and I'd previously been trying very hard to excuse it.
