If Jeremy made a call at 3.36am.
You posted a video which details a car journey of 7 mins and 17 seconds in terms of driving from Goldhanger to White House Farm. This drive is within the speed limit and no faster. The 7 mins 17 seconds do not include any timings for collecting car keys, leaving a property, locking the house up, unlocking a car and starting the engine. (Neither does it inlcude any time Jeremy may have had to use in getting dressed to meet the Police as they had requested he meet them there. Up and until this time Jeremy, presumably, would not have known he would be required at the Farm to meet the Police as he was merely reporting a telephone call from his father - Remember Jeremy claims he was awoken by a call from his father)
Jeremy has detailed he was kept on hold for 11 minutes whilst Essex Police were dealing with his report of receiving a telephone call from his father.
You have posted on this forum Jeremy arrived at White House Farm at 3.52 am. The Police detailed Jeremy arrived just after the Police at White House Farm. It is logged the Police arrived at 3.48 am
By simple addition
3.36 am + 11 minutes = 3.47 am
3.47 am + 7 mins 17seconds = 3.54 am 17 seconds .......... at the very earliest.
3.54 am and 17 seconds is not 3.52 am which is your time for Jeremy's arrival at White House Farm
Please explain why the above is incorrect.
---------------------------------------------
Because your calculations do not take into account the fact that in real time, nobody was keeping a check on the time...
There is absolutely no records at all that PC west kept Jeremy talking on the telephone for 11 minutes, or any proven time that Jeremy concluded his call to the police, or when exactly he left his cottage, or when he arrived at the scene...
All the times referred to are estimated, not precise times...
It is accepted by the police at the scene, that Jeremy arrived there at about 3:52am, but exactly who was keeping time, is anybodies guess?
If police at the scene had watches, and Jeremy was wearing a watch, how can anybody be absolutely sure whether or not that all their watches were accurately synchronized so that any time referred to, (by anybody and everybody) was an absolute time?
You also have the problem of PC West claiming the clock in the control, room was ten minutes fast...
If the time recorded on one of the phone logs, which records the time of dispatch and arrival at the scene, by various officers, was the time recorded 10 minutes fast, or slow, or whatever?
If it took Jeremy, about seven minutes to drive from his cottage to the farm, he could easily have got there by 3:52am, particularly if he drove there at a speed faster than the speed limit. When I drove along that route, it took me over 7 minutes, but I was adhering to the speed limit, and if Jeremy drove that route quicker on the night question, there is no reason at all why he could not have got there in five minutes, or less...
Another thing worth taking into account, when trying to fathom out periods of time which elapsed between one alleged event and another, is that time between two specific points can be interpreted differently...
An example of this, is where someone might say there are ten minutes difference between 3:45 and 3:55am, whereas, someone else might point out that there could be as many as 12 minutes between the two specified time:-
3:45 ---------------------------------------------------- (another 59 seconds here)
3:46 - 1 minute
3:47 - 2 minutes
3:48 - 3 minutes
3:49 - 4 minutes
3:50 - 5 minutes
3:51 - 6 minutes
3:52 - 7 minutes
3:53 - 8 minutes
3:54 - 9 minutes
3:55 - 10 minutes
3:56 ----------------------------------------------------- (another 59 seconds here)
For all we know, or anybody knows, Jeremy's reference to the police keeping him held on the line for 11 minutes. could simply have been a figure of speech...
