Jeremy was also unconvincing in court.

Repeatedly being asked to speak up by the judge. A reporter on TV said he was very polite, a bit arrogant & seemed to be enjoying the attention. There was of course also the famous 'that is what you have to establish' line. The media reported that was the time a killer let his mask slip.

Tears or not, Julie kept to her WS despite strong cross examination from David Napley.

I think if  he was arrogant - it was because he knew he was innocent and did not think the police had a case against him. Which statement did she keep to? Not her original one - only ones in Sept. Because the two contradict each other.

The case had gone through the police & DPP. He had been charged with multiple murder & had hired the best lawyer available. Arrogant ?

There are probably several WS drafts done until the witness is satisfied. They are the ones answering questions in court so need to be satisfied.

I don't think that she would know what the defence would ask her in court ? Would rather defeat the point would it not? As far as I am concerned a statement should be a written record of what happened . I cant imagine why she would need so many sessions to "get it right"

Assume the defence will ask her questions based on her WS. Or investigate themselves & ask other questions, such as about Julies bank fraud two years earlier.

Once the police went round telling potential prosecution witnesses that there was no evidence to support a phone call from Nevill to Jeremy, some prosecution witnesses faced a stark choice.  Cooperate with bending the evidence to enable Jeremy to be prosecuted or let a murderer off the hook.   

Tell lies or a murderer will get off the hook.

Sad thing is, there was no evidence to support a call hadn't taken place.  It was inconclusive. 

Now if the police had went round telling potential prosecution witnesses that there was no evidence to support a call either had or hadn't taken place, that places an element of doubt regarding whether Jeremy is lying about the call.  A totally different complexion on the things. 

With regards to JM, I think it was sink or swim and the strong tide was being directed by the police / relatives.  She chose to swim with the tide and that's that.
