Hi N/N  I suppose when you are running in full flight in your robes you need to be grounded as you could end up in heaven before your time

    .

[Patti]

Yes wasn't that Rob Carr?

I'm not sure I will go and have a look, it could have been him...

[Patti]

It was And rew Skill en.....who she could not look in the face, his wife worked for them.

[susan]

Hello Patti why would AE have found it difficult to look anyone in the face what would have been her problem.

I don't know Susan. She is telling the COLP that there were two people she could not look at....I think she is more or less saying that if she had looked at them she would have broken down.

Well done Patti.  Yes I recall the name now.  At one time I would have remembered 

Re Susan's post too I recall thinking it meant something?  Doesn't she say something along the lines of she hadn't allowed herself to get too emotional/cry but when she saw Andrew she felt like doing so?

Hi NN,,it was said that a few were " entertained " by way of supper at WHF,,and" presents" were dished out ( for services rendered ) as well as a job for one who'd retired from the service,,but I must find out if there was any sort of friendship prior to the tragedy.
Another puzzle.Why was the trial held at Chelmsford ( locally ) and not London at one of the Courts.?

Hi Lookout

Re the venue for trial I recall reading that there was some controversy over this.  Some saying JB would not receive a fair trial (lol) in Essex.  Such a serious high profile trial would normally be held at the Old Bailey?  Who determines where a case is heard?  What's the process?  Are jurors selected from within a radius of the designated court?  If so what's the radius?  I shall quiz im in doors when he returns from his cycle ride.  It's amazing how popular cycling is now.  Go out on the w.e in rural areas and it's great just a sea of fit guys in lycra  .

Hi Patti
It's interesting that NN comments that she did not/could not cry for quite a long time after the murders while at the same time slating Jeremy for not showing enough emotion. 

[susan]

Maggie very well said I wondered about that too.  Can't have rules for one and different ones for another.

Hi Maggie

I find some of her comments contradictory, because one minute Jeremy breaks down so she takes his arm to comfort him, then in the next breath she says he never showed any emotion....

It's more strange that it didn't upset her when she was rinsing Sheilas knickers out on August 10th,,when they were all snooping round " looking for clues ".! The busybody should have left everything alone,,as that bucket was near Neville and contained evidence.
That was the day that the planted silencer was found as well.
I blame Jeremy for giving AE the keys. One thing that did strike me was that Jeremy wasn't in as much of a rush to enter the farmhouse as they were. You'd have thought that had Jeremy been the murderer,he'd have been inside in a flash to re-trace his steps " just in case ".
As Bambergate once put it,," This case was never about the evidence ". How true.!

When you can't look anyone in the face,,usually means you're lying.

I know Patti, she seems to be in a place where Jeremy cannot do right.  She has made a decision that he is guilty and nothing is going to change that opinion, all she/they needed to to do next was convince the police of his guilt ......... ??

And they did along with the help of Stan.

And they did along with the help of Stan.

They certainly did.

I'm not sure I'm following this. One of the few times Jeremy and the relatives are in close proximity after the murders and Jeremy does not express any remorse or guilt for leaving that gun lying about..of course it's natural for Ann Eaton to pick up on that.
