A bit risky Bamber telling Julie beforehand he is going to use MM. She may meet him beforehand & ask him.

But a good idea to use a proxy afterwards. Supporters have always said Julie can't be believed as MM did not commit the massacre. But have never said why Julie would invent MM if she wanted to frame Bamber.

Why as a proxy?

You do realise that you don't have to pull a trigger to be done for murder?  In fact organising the thing ( conspiracy) is treated more harshly by the judiciary

Don't believe he was trying to " Soften the blow " So Julie would feel better he hadnt shot two little boys to death. She would still be keenly aware he had organised it.

MM was also Bambers friend, not Julie's.

My partners best friend knows every mundane aspect of my life as she will discuss it with her on the phone. It what's girls and women do, they love to gossip.

Very shocked that Julie didn't confide in anybody who is able to recollect pre massacre about Jeremy's strange and weird ramblings.

He was softening the blow to Julie. As her WS says Bamber said 'he couldn't' when asked if he had killed everyone.

There was also a chance the police may not believe her if she approached them & MM had an alibi. However by the 7th September EP were closing in.

He wouldn't have had a chance too. According to Julie's WS.

Julie says the first time she had any inkling he was going to commit murder was when he phoned her at 10pm that night.  She was in Lewisham, he in Gold hanger.

Granted she says he had talked about it for some time prior. But certainly by her own admittance no mention the weekend prior.

Maybe to start with, as they both shared a cannabis habit. But after Malcolm dallied with Suzette Jeremy was furious, and I think any bond they had ended there and then.

If you wanted to bear false witness against Jeremy I don't know why you'd overcomplicate by bringing in a hitman. To me it lends credibility to her statement.

Yes it does, and Jeremy habitually uses scapegoats to compensate for his own shortcomings.
