Police interview transcripts:

[susan]

Hello Adam  I am sure we all as human beings react differently to situations I got the impression Jeremy was quite cocky and acting the clown has he himself knew he was innocent and knew the police could not have any forensic evidence against him.  Please note I am not saying his attitude was the right one.  He was young immature and foolish IMO but that does not make him a murderer.

[lookout]

Jeremy has kept his head while those around are losing theirs. He's stayed focussed,and good on him for his determination to see this through. I'd do exactly the same to reach the truth.

[nugnug]

he could of said nothing it couldent have been used agianst him.

a guilty man would know he dident have to say anything and remain silent.

[susan]

Adam  did Jeremy have charm I wonder if he had he would not feel it necessary to turn on the "charm" when he had no reason to do so he had nothing to hide he knew he was innocent of the horrendous crime and he expected to walk free one more vote in his favour and he would have done.  People usually only use their charm when they wish to deceive or want support neither applied to him in his own mind.

[Adam]

Sheila hadn't actually been seen by a psychiatrist for more than 18 weeks prior to her death, during which time crucial emotional and psychological changes had taken place. No psychiatrist could have said more than was based on her last interview when she was upbeat and hopeful. During the following weeks, on the wrong dose of meds, she would suffer double rejection, hers hopes for the future would be dashed, her future would have looked very uncertain, she had no therapist to help her work through it. I can fully imagine that a murderous rage at the perceived injustice built up in this otherwise docile girl. Combine that with the feeling that she had nothing left to live for and the scene is set.

If Sheila had not seen a psychiatrist for 18 weeks that is not the fault of the prosecution or the jury.

Sheila had lots of friends the defence could have spoken to. Such as Freddie Emami, who the police interviewed at lenght, Sandra Elston & Dorothy Brencher. She also had a social worker for a period called Barbara Babic. Maybe the defence did question these people & included this evidence to their psychiatrists. The answer still being 'no' Sheila did not have the potential to erupt into such murderous violence.

Did not see what was coming ? He is in court on a murder charge. A very serious situation. A clever man like Jeremy knows that the police charged him &  there was enough evidence for the DPP to put a case through to trial, there is s possibility of a guilty verdict.

Oh he's a clever man now eh? But apparently he's a foolish man when it comes to receiving telephone calls fron his father?

Yes,,,Freddie,,who was scared sh1tless one night when Sheila had a psychotic episode,,but sadly,what he had to say,didn't reach the ears of the jury.
Don't forget that this wasn't a unanimous decision either. Rather telling,don't you think ?

If I knew I was innocent I would be talking England, trying hard not to rsise my voice & generally being very stressed. I would assist the police as much as possible.

Essex Police said Jeremy was very laid back. Chewing a thread from his jumper & saying his one word answers in a sing along tone, yeeees etc. The questions are basic questions about Jeremy & the night. Jeremy was very un coperative, vague & flippant.

It's very interesting to hear what you think you would have done but that has NOTHING to do with what Jeremy did do. You are different people with different backgrounds and personalities.  You cannot judge someone just because they behave in a different way than the way you THINK you would behave.imo

all independent accounts ive heard about her say she did.

[Adam]

The police interview was not recorded by a tape recorder. Everything was written down.

This meant there were long gaps between questions, giving Jeremy the chance to anticipate the question & think of an answer.

The police said if the recordings were taped they would have got a confession. This I do not beleive. Guilty or innocent he was much too clever & determined to cave in to a bit of pressure.

[nugnug]

he had the right to remain silent he dident have to worry about caving into anything the fact he chose to speak suggests he thought he had nothing to hide.

and if it waaasnt tape we dont know he even said what they cliamh e did.

'bit of pressure' ??  Think they would have subjected him to more than that.  In the 1980s the police were out of control this is why recording of interviews was brought in.  You have no idea how they really spoke to him during these interviews and outside of the interviews.
For someone who claims to have an open mind you seem to be very certain Jeremy Bamber is guilty imo

[susan]

Adam what questions could the police have asked Jeremy that required him to have to think about.  If he had committed the murders which I suspect you think he did he would have had all the answers ready if indeed he was as clever as you seem to think he was.  IMO he was not clever or street wise had he been so he would never have handed the keys to WHF to the extended family but he had nothing to hide and this is why he was so willing to do so. Had he been guilty of this horrendous crime he would have kept the keys and kept Julie at his side.

Why didn't the defence call Freddie Emami at the trial ?  The police must have submitted his interview transcripts for the defence to read.

Freddie said he could only imagine Sheila being agressive towards her mother. Not the children & certainly not Neville, who Freddie said had an instant calming effect on her one evening when he arrived at her flat.

[susan]

Adam  why indeed was Freddie not called as a witness at the Trial and why were many others not called.  These are questions we need answering and the forth coming book by Paul Harrison may just do this.
