Thank you for that fascinating and insightful post.
Re that test you used. Do you know of any other lifer who has been given the same amount of attention, and the same opportunity to self publicize as JB? I feel certain it would make him feel enormously powerful -even innocent?!!!- to have all these fairly high profile people dancing attendance on him and appearing to believe him............and that's without the racy love interests he's alleged to have indulged in!!!
He hasn't involved himself in any love trysts. Apart from a miniscule period he has been a CAT A prisoner. He may have held hands had " girlfriends" so to speak. But I can guarantee you he hasn't entertained himself. Well tell I lie I bet after 37 years alone he most probably has!
In recent years he has had some high profile support. Peter tatchell Andrew hunter MP. His case was also effectively dead between 1989 and 2001. The wilderness years. It has picked up momentum now there is the high profile of the internet. But no more than any other prisoner.
The WHF drama probably gave the case a large profile boost. I remember at work not too long ago asking people ( all in their sixties ) if they heard of Jeremy bamber and only 20 percent had. It isn't as high profile as you think
High profile criminals in the UK are people like Ian Huntley, Charles Bronson.
