you can chill here

[Hartley]

But the jury were not aware that JM had signed a contract with the News of the World entitling her to £25,000 in the event of a conviction of Jeremy Bamber.  Do you not agree that their view of JM's evidence might have been affected by that knowledge?

So if there is any truth in the post below then the defence knew about JM's NOTW contract and could have informed the jury at any time, perhaps they did and the jury did know about it?

Source was one of the defence team.

While they were waiting for the verdict at trial. From 'Blood Relations';

"He was bandying figures for which he planned to sell his story to the newspapers - somewhat unattractive behaviour in the opinion of one of his legal team. A group of them sat with Jeremy, trying to buoy his spirits but feeling increasingly uncomfortable about his obsession with a newspaper deal. The best offer he'd had, he said, was £40,000. Couldn't they get him a better offer than that? After all, he was pointing out, if he was convicted, Julie had been promised £15,000 for her story."

Hartley - did you mean to put this on the "you can chill here" thread 

Yes, but only because I was quoting NGB's post from earlier in this thread.
