Well if he was guilty I suppose he would take that step. But If I was innocent of a crime like that and had been imprisoned for 27 years I don't think I could lie and say I did it when I had not.
No neither do I, but I wonder if for a guilty person the gamble is - do I continue to protest my innocence in the hope that eventually I find so many 'anomolies' they let me go, or do I confess in the hope that one day they decide I'm safe to be freed. A guilty JB must be somewhere near that point now.
Until Julie Mugford either volunteered or was coerced in to providing it (depending on which police officer you interview for your source and depending on whether you speak to that source prior to or post certain documents having come to light.
What evidence is there that she was coerced? I've seen the letter in which they agreed not to press charges, but that was dated after she came forward, and also after she gave her witness statements IIRC?
Bridget how could any self respecting person admit to a crime as horrendous as the murders at WHF if they were innocent of such a crime. It is so important to Jeremy Bamber to clear his name he is looking for a retrial surely with all the that has happened he should at least be granted that just like Mat Fraser in Scotland was through the Supreme Court in London after failed Appeals.
If they were innocent they probably wouldn't. I don't think there would be a retrial, it's been too long. If he is ever successful at Appeal he'll walk, IMHO.
