I think that's rubbish. I think Jeremy said at the start that Sheila had done it.

No, he did not - this was one of JB's complaints to COLP as part of their investigation...
Why didn't he complain at the trial then? PC West's log was in court. So you claim that Jeremy didn't think Sheila had done it and yet he said nothing when the defence suggested she had?
Another red herring.
-------------------
The jury were told that they had to choose between Sheila or Jeremy, and that there was no third party involvement in these killings, and this is what JB's legal team set out to do - they set out to try and show that it was not Jeremy, and the prosecution set out to show that it was not Sheila...
Under these circumstances, how was it possible for JB to influence and change the way the trial was set up to be decided upon by the jury?
Of course he could. That's what the defence is for.

I am assuming that you have never been on trial for anything, or been accused of doing something that you did not do, and been to court and been represented by a solicitor, or a barrister, or a QC, or both or all - because they know best, they know what to do and how to go about trying to get you found not guilty, or acquitted...
Its not as simple as you are trying to make out, because you can't say everything and anything that you want to, or which requires or needs to be said...
As a defendant you find yourself being guided by these people - all of whom know best...
The way I see it, at the time of JB's trial, if the case was set up for the jury to decide guilt between Sheila and JB, then his legal team would not necessarily have to show or prove that someone else carried out the deed, other than JB or Sheila, JB's legal team did not have to prove anything , but they chose to try and prove to the jury that it could not have been, and was not him...
