Hi Simon
It is all about winning, i suppose; but its all about client confidentiality too I would think...like a doctor patient relationship. Maybe he wont talk about if while the case is on going, because he would not like to be quoted. 
Argh! The famous Tom Stephens....now he is a character! Did you find him OK to talk too? 
With Tom, it was like I'd ask him something, and there was that delay you get in a telecast of a few seconds before the audio cut in. Really interesting though, several hours of it, and I offered him the opportunity to write an account in the book should he wish. He declined, don't blame him. I didn't include the conversation in the book either.
I managed to get ( other than Suffolk Police ) the longest interview with Tom, his number was in the phone book. No one had phoned him about anything connected to the case in about 18 months.
It's a good job I'm not in the police, Martin Brunt used to say to me 'they have Stephens as a suspect with a small 's', and I said, not a capital one?
The police came and questioned me why Tom Stephens had phoned my home number pre-murder, I was able to tell them that it was one of the girls who was using Tom's phone.
Tom knew the movements of those girls better than they did, but they spoke well of him and said they were often glad of his warm car as a refuge.
Tom was involved with a lot of those girls, and I became involved with one of them too.
I included my association with 'Katie' in another book and a film script.
