The questioning was direct. As it would be expected to be. They were accusing him of five counts of murder.
He never confessed. One iota. There was never a modicum admission to anything. He denied everything that was put to him
I guarantee they saw Bamber as wet behind the ears and easy meat. Hence years later Jones recalled he was adamant he'd get a cough. They couldn't break Bamber
Must be the damp conditions in the interview rooms in those days. I think I'm getting a cough now.
Anyway, regarding Jeremy Bamber's interview techniques...
Lying in your interviews doesn't make you guilty, but Bamber did lie in his interviews.
Getting asked questions about the inconsistencies in his story - that you fail to answer properly, doesn't make you guilty. But this happened a number of times with Jeremy Bamber during his interviews.
Saying 'No Comment' when your lying gets exposed by your interviewer, does not make you guilty. But this kept happening with Jeremy Bamber.
Jeremy Bamber lied to the police outside the house.
Jeremy Bamber lied in his statements.
Jeremy Bamber lied in his interviews.
Jeremy Bamber lied at every given opportunity. But it doesn't make him guilty.
But if you
look at his lies, and then just for a moment let's assume he
is guilty, then those lies do fit with a Bamber is guilty scenario.
Doesn't make him guilty. Absolutely does not make him guilty.
But the lies do fit a guilty scenario. If he
was guilty, then the lies become logical, you can see why a guilty person would make them.
But his lies still doesn't make him guilty. There is lots of other evidence that does that.
The problem with Jeremy Bamber, is that he is a
terrible liar. He so obviously can't remember the lies that he's made previously. And that makes the lies even more obvious, because DS Jones, his interviewer,
can remember the lies he made earlier.
And DS Jones plays a blinder, all within the new PACE laws that came in a year before. And all in front of Jeremy Bamber's solicitor who warns Bamber whenever necessary that he doesn't have to answer the questions.
Of course, his solicitor would be very aware of the new PACE laws that became law the year before, and was satisfied that DS Jones had fully complied with them, as he didn't make any complaints.
Anyway, I'm off to gen up on some macho 1970's cop talk, so that I can keep up with the Starsky and Hutch jargon....who loves ya baby?
