Jackie,
Firstly, it was yourself that made the point that I didn't know the family in 1985/86. The point I am making is that you didn't know Jeremy either in 1985. I don't see how that makes things I post any less valid. As I have said before, Jeremy tells you things, the family tells me things. How are we any different from each other? You defend your friend, I defend my friends.
You constantly make the point that the family inherited. I would counter that with the fact that the boutflours, the speakmans and by marriage, the Eatons, were already extremely wealthy. I don't believe there is a financial motive for them to frame Jeremy.
There is no doubt in my mind that Julie Mugford was far from an angel. But nor was Jeremy either. They were both as bad as each other. Jeremy instigated the caravan park robbery, Julie her cheque fraud. The family hold no great love for Julie either. They firmly believe she could and should have saved their family. She lied to Ann after the identification of the bodies and I firmly believe that if Jeremy hadn't have dumped her, he would not be where he is now.
Maybe you could ask Jeremy on one of his calls, why he had to leave New Zealand in such a hurry? It certainly was VERY urgent. You might recall Jackie, that Jeremy's love of farming and his Father was such that he went to New Zealand, with no notice, right in the middle of harvest, causing a huge row with Nevill. He had so much respect for his Father that he reduced him to tears at Marks Tey Hotel, by pretending to be gay in front of Nevill's farmers union pals.
I do not speak to Ann daily nor do I post from her viewpoint. In fact I was quite nervous telling her about this forum as I didn't want to be disrespectful to her or the family, but on reading some of the posts felt that I wanted to defend.
I read everything that's posted, I've read the books, I have all the same information as you do.
The family members you speak of bear no resemblance to the people I know. People speak of Jeremy's believable nature and I would definitely say the same of the family. If they tell me something I have no reason to disbelieve them and nothing they have told me has ever been disproved on this forum. Again, we have the same point of reference. Believable friends.
I firmly believe that Jeremy Bamber is where he belongs.
The phone call didn't happen. Jeremy has changed his timings, several witnesses say he called Julie around 3am, and he didn't call 999. Only last year he changed his timings again. He couldn't even remember if he called Julie before or after the Police. If Jeremy gets confused it's put down to grief. If the family's evidence is called into question, then it's deception.
I would love to see the interviews with the police. Why have they not been posted? I understand from what I've read that they are not very favourable to his cause. I'm sure that's why we haven't seen them.
A rifle is left out with a loaded magazine, with the sights and silencer removed that is usualy used with them. It is then used by a woman who no living person, even Jeremy, has ever seen pick one up, let alone know how to use it and without missing a shot, kills her own family? That woman pictured on this forum killed her own family and then shot herself twice or was killed by the police after playing dead in the kitchen? Even though the open phone line detected no movement or sound except the plainly terrified dog.
We are now told that Jeremy saw a person in the window of the house and that proves it wasn't him, yet it took Mike Tesko, a year after he was convicted, to point out to Jeremy the significance of this sighting.
Incidently, with his daughter holding a loaded rifle, in the middle of a massive psycotic episode, Nevill calls Jeremy, not the police, nor hits the panic alarm, and all of this without waking the boys.
After the murders Jeremy behaves, out of grief, like no other grieving relative I've ever heard. Amsterdam, South of France, it's all a matter of record. The cash spend from the farm coffers was swift and excessive. Old family money is not in the safe, it's in valuable possessions, Sotherby's were called, his dealings with Colin and the boy's things. 2 journalists went on record and were interviewed on TV, saying that Jeremy even tried to sell pictures of Sheila in the pub at Goldhanger.
Grief is a funny thing.....
Jackie, I don't need Ann to tell me that Jeremy did it. I believe that all the evidence you need is right there in front of you.
