72 page witness statement of Ann Eaton, made to COLP on 14 / 08/ 1991

Maggie, according to the OS, "Jeremy ended their relationship.........." Ended/jilted/dumped/cast aside all seem to add up to the same thing to my way of thinking. Was also interested to learn that on her visit to the police on Sept 8th she was charged with burglary but the charge was withdrawn on Dec 5th, which sounds very much as if a "deal" had been arrived at.

I don't doubt it April, the relationship was over, 2 years is a long time when you're young and it wasn't strong enough to take the strain of so much trauma, absolutely nothing wrong or surprising in that. Jeremy had every right to end it, Julie couldn't take it but that wasn't Jeremy's fault although listeninv to some you'd think it proves he's a psychopathic murderer. I fear Julie seemed to have more of a personality disorder than Jeremy who seems to have acted by instinct  rather than premeditated scheming in any part of his behaviour.

[grahameb]

Jeremy said in his interview transcripts the relationship had been in decline for around 6 months. The judge confirmed this in his summing up when asking why Jeremy would bring a bike to his cottage if the relationship was coming to a close.

Julie did not like Brett much & did not want to a to go to some places with them.  But Jeremy persuaded her. Jeremy also persuaded her to attend the funeral with him.

Jeremy gave himself no brownie points saying to Julie he hired a hit man to massacre his family. Asking another woman out in front of Julie would have done him no favours either. Julie hit him. She also said herself she put a cushion over his head. Then took it off.

Wrestling with what she knew from the 3am phone call & Jeremys confessions afterwards, Julie would have been pleased to escape.

An even more pertinent question would be, If the relationship was in decline for 6 months why would Jeremy tell her all about the alleged murders.

[susan]

Grahame exactly why would Jeremy confide in her knowing the relationship was going nowhere not for one moment do I think he did but obviously some did and that is why he was sent to prison for life because of that together with the silencer evidence I find it difficult to believe this actually happened.

Can you see what can be achieved with false witnesses and smart lawyers Susan? But what I find amazing is the fact that this case ever got to trial? It's not what you know. It's who you know comes to mind. The case is so wooden it is transparently obvious that it has been practically nailed together by lies and deceit.

[susan]

Grahame how did this get to trial and how was he found guilty it is so obvious the case was built on lies and deceit and yet 28/29 years on he is still in prison.  What kind of a Justice system do we have I suppose the answer is a corrupt one we are seeing this daily with different cases and I for one have had my eyes opened I always thought the police would not be involved in lies and cover ups how naive was I.  We do have good honest cops but the problem is they have to become involved in the cover ups for the sake of the credibility of the Justice system

There may be good cops Susan. But the problem is that they all work as a team and will back oneanother up and there is where you get these harmonized statements.

[susan]

Grahame I agree they all stick together and I am sure many will have a guilty conscience but they can do nothing about it.  Think Taff Jones would have said his thoughts that is why he was removed from the case.

It is one brave policeman who will go against his comrades. There was a case when a police woman constable reported a police officer higher up the scale for abusing a prisoner. The other police officer was found guilty at court. But the woman constable had to be moved to another area because no one at that police station would work with her.

So do I believe in police corruption in such cases as the Bamber one. Answer: most certainly I do. I believe Essex police lied and they are still lying about certain aspects of this case and furthermore I see those as not seeing this as most gullible and primitive in their thinking.

[susan]

Grahame they are classed as traitors if they blow the whistle on one of their fellow workmates. Taff Jones was a great honest cop and things would have been so different had he not tragically died would love to see his notebook which will be held under PII.  Hide everything that could prove Jeremy Bamber is innocent.

I am more amazed that the guilters are in no way interested in these alomalies. But whatever you tell them they say in a kind of hypnotized voice. Bamber.......is.......guilty....Bamber......is.......guilty....

[Adam]

Hi April was it also Liz Rimmington who had a relationship with Malcolm  MacDonald? Maybe the fact he was included in the accusation had a revenge motive as well?

So a 20 year old student is trying to frame two people.

Clever girl. And brave.

[susan]

Grahame do what I am doing let him talk to himself

[Adam]

So Julie WAS jilted, dumped, whatever you call it. Relationships either grow stronger or fall apart when tragedy strikes. Seems in this case it finished off a relationship which had probably run it's course. They were both really young anyway, more normal they would grow apart at that age, there was no reason why they should have married. imo

Jeremy has to claim he jilted Julie. It is the only justification he can make for why she testified. But as I said earlier, she was not.

Jeremys OS says this. Surprise surprise.

She disclosed information to the police about the caravan break in. The police had no idea about this.

Well, I rather think that was for Julie to say. If she FELT cast aside/cheated on/humiliated /discarded/rejected/dumped/JILTED, I would be inclined to say SHE WAS. It really is rather more about how she felt than what you say.
