I think it's unduly dismissive to suggest that Hunter is not a reliable source. I don't think do your self much credit on this forum when you take such an approach. You seem to be inferring that he invented an official response from EP regarding the front page of that document.
If no editing of statements has taken place, how have excerpts come to light many years after the event, such as the ones on here:

I cant access this site from the computer I'm on today.
When police or DPP edit statements, do you think they annotate them Look!... this is where we removed a chunk... because it wasn't helpful to our case? You keep banging on about unsupported this or supported that. I will never rate anything that has been in any way edited, no matter who swore it, in whatever court room. Edited means bits left out as well as something being potentially rewritten.
If I shoot a dog in a street but then sign a sworn testimony that I didn't, which a court / jury then accepts, does that mean I didn't shoot the dog?
I'm not doing myself any favours by questioning the uncorroberated, unsupported, second hand word of a supporter of a convicted multiple murderer?
On the contrary, I'd suggest that your willingness to blindly swallow anything put before you as long as it fits your views about the case, actually does yourself no favours.
I don't doubt that Hunter believes what he's written, but I question the source and the interpretation and implications of any information he has used to come the the conclusions that he has.
Again, returning to edited statements, there is no evidence that anything untowards has taken place, it is in my opinion nothing more than a bout of defence propaganda, however I am happy and open to being shown actual evidence which shows my opinion to be incorrect.
Just like the erasing of Jeremys memory, you seem to be selectively ignoring the original signed statements which should have accompanied any abridged unsigned statements.
There is no justification for the accusations, that is all I am asking for.
Also, another attempt to pre-empt the predictable response that I am being hypocritical by following the official prosecution version of events, well that simply isn't the case at all, I'm not blindly following anything, I'm not trying to prove guilt or even change anybodies mind from innocent to guilty, what I am trying to do, is see if there is any truth to the various accusations put foward, either officially or just theories voiced on this forum. There is an overwhelming pattern forming, and that is that when I look into any of these theories/allegations/accusations in detail, it quickly becomes apparent that they are more often than not, unjustified and infused with premeditated attempts of deception, this is not only irritating but also reflects very, very badly on those who put the theory/allegation/accusation forward.
Another common pattern is that unsubtantiated theories are often used to try and support another unsubstantiated theory, an example of this is the use of an alleged sighting of a figure to support the alleged withholding of a page of a log which may not exist and if it does, may or may not have any reference to the incident. I'd suggest that Myalls and Bews statements would be a more readily available source of information, the information was clearly documented somewhere as Rivlin questioned Myall about it at the original trial.
