I'm sorry that Taff Jones died but I'm wondering what difference it would have made to the trial had he testified. The Defence's strategy was not to put the Police in a bad light as this would only cast doubt on the "four murders and a suicide" theory which they had originally expounded. The dossier of evidence against Sheila had been stolen from a Policeman's attic I believe so it would only have been Taff Jones relating his original theories in the first few weeks of the case from memory,after which he was removed from the case and superseded by Asst CC Peter Simpson.
Hello lovely Steve.
The deceased officer had notched up over 30 years of service to the force,in which he'd worked himself up to the status in his profession. What I'd have called," one of the old school ". These officers were far more intelligent to my mind as there was no technology when they began their careers,so therefore they all used what they were born with,,,their brains.
The whole trial would have been conducted with more expertise than it was,and Jeremy wouldn't have been convicted,simple as that.
" Taff " Jones had" seen it all" before during his service,and therefore was able to work out pretty well straight away what had occurred at WHF. I'm sure if he'd have thought that Jeremy had had any dealings with the case,then Jones would have said.
Why do you think that the relatives were unhappy about that decision.? Because being as they weren't regular visitors to WHF,they knew sweet f.a. about the family,or its situation with Sheila.
All they had to offer was a trumped-up version of Jeremys' " greed " and the fact that they'd heard all sorts of tales from various sources.
I'd like to see the lot of them sit a polygraph test.
