The bedroom phone, phone calls & Neville.

[Reader]

Modern answering machines stop recording if you pick up the receiver. If JB had a machine that didn't do that, he would probably have turned it off whenever he got home. Some answering machines didn't have an on/off feature, but they could easily be turned off anyway, as they all relied on mains power (via an adapter).

Jeremy could just stick to his story. The answering machine was off & I went downstairs & answered the phone.

What bad luck his answering machine was off. If it was on, Neville would have left a message, proving Jeremys innocence.

But how do we know it had no message on it. The answering machine was not entered as evidence. So we cannot say if it was on or off?

[grahameb]

We are not. But I think we would have got on well.

Until he passed sentance no doubt and then he would be really nasty to you?

Jeremy would not have bothered with the dog that night.  He had more important targets. 

When BT opened the phone line, all they could hear was Crispy barking.
 
Or was it Sheila ?

I wonder why he was barking?

The Police examined the tape I believe,though I don't have the link.I must have read it on here.

That could indicate that it was off that night then?

Mike will know. I think it was his original post.

So Neville did leave a message on it ? But Jeremy said he spoke to Neville.

The prosecution probably thought there was no mileage in introducing it. There is no way anyone can tell whether the answer machine was plugged in that night. Jeremy will say it was unplugged as it supports his story of answering the phone.

Unplugging answering machines. What next unplugging the washing machine & kettle when not in use ?

[Adam]

When I had a plug in answer machine I never turned it off once.

If I am out, it did it's job.

If at home, I picked the phone up if I felt like it. Otherwise letting the answer machine do it's stuff.

If in bed I definatly would let the answering machine earn it's money. Mind you at 3am I would not here the phone anyway. Especially  if 'sleeping like a log'.

There was no call from Neville.

The police confiscated the answer machine and examined it, they said there was no message on it.

Adam  not sure Judge Drake would agree with you on that one

Adam after reading your posts from last night maybe you should start asking people for help as your posts are repetitive to say the least biased and inaccurate.  Happy days.

Why answer the phone at 3am if he had an answering machine ?  Let the phone ring & listen to the message as it is being said. Once you realise Neville is in distress, pick the receiver up.

When the phone rings at 3am in the morning,it usually indicates one thing,,and that's an emergency/death. When I used to work nights,this was the time,sadly,that those who were expected to die,did so,as it's the lowest point,timewise, in a persons' life,particularly those who are unwell in some way.

I do hope that those who oppose Jeremys' innocence saw the news this morning of the posthumous award given to the man responsible for cracking the Enigma Code,,thus avoiding two more years of the brutal WW2 war. Alan Turing was granted the pardon,after having confessed years ago that he was a homosexual,then who consequently ended his own life because " it was a deadly crime ".
I seem to remember that RWB made much of the friendship of Jeremy and Brett Collins,,and who took it upon himself to broadcast the fact to everyone,that it was another " deadly crime " against Jeremy,,and one which was added to all the other hearsay and tangled tales from one nasty man.

Morning lookout

heard the news and I immediately thought of Jeremy and the insinuations he had to tolerate.  The world has some very wicked people in it.  Happy Christmas to you and pusskins xx
