JB would obviously have taken the opportunity to phone JM when he couldn't get back through to his dad. Didn't that strike you at all ? Silly me, no it wouldn't have done because you don't want to view things in that way. He's guilty and that's all you're saying----how he became guilty using your methods of " investigation and evidence " Lord only knows.
Oh, No Lookout. When I thought he was innocent I made exactly the excuses you're making for him now. Treating his like a mentally challenged wimp who couldn't wipe his own back-side. But he wasn't, any more than he WASN'T not street wise. He'd been street-wise enough to get himself to Australasia a couple of times and blag his way round. Not for nothing did he pal up with a wide boy. So, NO, I don't believe, other than to inform her that his plan had taken shape, that he had ANY need to call Julie. His need, HAD that phone call happened, was to call 999.
