The bedroom phone, phone calls & Neville.

HaHaHa  april you are sharp today my girl we shall start putting Adam on the naughty step

[Steve_uk]

you are joking . You have had answers - have you not worked out the case does not hinge on the call? Unless you are a physic you have no idea what he was thinking -do you?

On the contrary: the purported telephone call is one of the pivotal points of the trial. If it occurred then Jeremy should walk free. If not it was the excuse Jeremy needed to get in on the act whilst using the Police as his alibi and it makes him guilty.

[lookout]

Was not aware I was back at school.

Having my posts crossed out & red marks put all over it. Find it a bit disrespectful to be honest.

Anyway. Most of my 19 reasons are also facts. As Jeremy put it, Neville couldn't have done it, wouldn't have done it & did not do it.

Disrespectful,indeed ? That's rich coming from you !

A pathetic alibi if he had been planning this all year? Surely not the "clever" man that he was purported to be.

The housekeeper had called the phones the " musical phones " as one never knew where the phones were going to be plugged in from one day to another,and it would appear that the Chief Supt lied about having used it on the morning of the 7th. At the 2002 appeal,he'd denied having rang the Chief Constable that morning,,but evidence found in 2004 proved that the Chief Supt.Harris,,had indeed used the phone to call Simpson.
This phone, presumably,would have had blood on it,,unless the idiot wiped it before he made the call.
It was the morning of the search of the farmhouse.

I wonder who was responsible for the "musical phones" and whether this threw Nevill off his guard about there not being a telephone in the master bedroom? I have also asked myself why Pamela telephoned so late to what was after all a working farm,hence all occupants in the habit of retiring early.

Never thought about that - actually a good question. Why did she phone so late? It is not late for me, but I get your point that it is late for a farming family especially during harvest time.
Has she ever said that she had some worries about her sister and her family that night? Maybe she had a hunch/premonition - it does happen.

According to Jean Boutell,,it was nothing unusual to find the phones in different areas of the farmhouse.
The one which was found under the magazines,,jeremy knew to be working perfectly,,so no mystery there as far as he was concerned,he was just aware that it was in working order,so nothing suspicious there at all.

I would agree with you that it was a rather unseemly time to make a (non urgent) phone call. One or two reasons come to mind. 1. It was an habitual thing between the families. 2. It was a call which was intended for earlier. 3. News of Sheila's disturbing behaviour had filtered through.

A pathetic alibi if he had been planning this all year? Surely not the "clever" man that he was purported to be.

What other alibi could he get ?

He had probably sounded out Mugford when speaking about his plans. But knew Mugford would not help. A lookout  for a caravan break in is one thing. ..

No other friends would get involved in something this horrific.

He could stay at a friends house & try to sneak out for a couple of hours without being noticed. That is risky. The locations of friends houses may also be poor.

Hello Adam hope you are not expecting a gift of Caithness glass like steve you are getting a wooden spoon a very large one Happy Days.

Even if BT confirmed their had been a call from WHF to Jeremy, it could be Jeremy calling himself.

I understand in the 80's the phone at Jeremys house would ring until he got home & answered it.

[susan]

Adam yes it rang to different tunes this time of year Jingle Bells

He had an answerphone at Bourtree Cottage Adam. I think the BIGB have had the upper hand these past few days.

Jeremy managed to answer the phone before Neville could leave a message.

A pity as a message would have cleared him.
