Hello ajross, the Claire Powell book arrived today so i will make a start on Sunday might take me a week or so, it will be interesting if this book also describes the hunched figure walking away that night.

Some of my friends are rubbish accountants. But they are very good book keepers.

After a brief sojourn in Devon I am back to bore people with my tedious analysis of the book! It could just be the tone of the book but so far Rivlin's cross-examination of JM seems to let her 'get away' with a lot in terms of not pressing her for details and seeming to go a bit soft on her. Again, there are quotes here and these are supposed to be from the actual trial but this isn't well explained. There is one very bizarre quote from JM about her consciousness and subconsciousness which seems to show her to be very confused and rambling, her excuse for going to identify the bodies was interesting too.

It's claimed in the book that she said in court that the reason she went was because she knew that JB had killed the family and she wanted to go and see June and Sheila and get their guidance. She claimed to be spiritual and religious and wanted them to tell her what to do and to confirm what had happened.

Really. I am in disbelief here...Here we have a woman, who shared a bed with someone, who she believed to have killed his family, yet said nothing for a whole month, until he dumped her.  Also, she claims to have known it was going to happen, and still did nothing. She saw two little boys dead and still said nothing....She herself went out for meals and went abroad and she still never said anything....then she claimed in the NOTW that he never did admit it too me.....Did she guess, or did she want him locked up for something he did not do, because she did not want anyone else to have him....She never cried coming out of that mortuary, nor did you see her cry at the funerals....until she went on centre stage at court and she did nothing but cry.....who is the actor here? Me thinks she was and still is.....I feel she dare not come forward and say she lied, because she has not only prospered, she would fear the hate towards her if she did.....Just sayin.....and morning by the way.  :) :) :)
