Rob, were you a good boy at school, or did you stray into realms of bad behaviour? If you did -and I'm not suggesting REAL naughtiness, because it's all relative- can you remember how it felt when the time came to explain yourself/try to get yourself out of trouble? Did you face up to it immediately, or did you string it out for as long as possible to give yourself some extra time?
I don't follow. We're talking about somebody who has - supposedly - carried out the planned killing of his entire family in cold blood, including two young boys. This isn't naughtiness. This is, I keep being assured, a premeditated act.
Plus, the delay you talk about is entirely contrived by Jeremy's accusers. We don't know when exactly he received the call and then made outward calls. I once considered this in detail and concluded it was something like ten or so minutes. Given that the call from his father was not an emergency call, as such, and it was unclear to him what was actually happening, he may well have dithered, called his girlfriend, etc.
