Why frame Jeremy ?
The first thing the police would have said to Jeremy on the night was 'Jeremy, you're father also rang the police, he told us...'.
But the police did not say that. Instead Jeremy stuck resolutely for years to saying Neville liked to keep things in the family so did not ring the police.
Why not frame him ? Everyone would benefit,,and did,,but the jury didn't know this bit.
Why did the prosecution insist that at no time did Jeremy receive the call from his father ? When it's quite clear that Neville did indeed call Jeremy.
It's because both calls had been rolled into one..as at the time it had been entered on the same call,,,,and it wasn't until 2002 that it was found that Neville rang Jeremy from the office phone upstairs because it had a last number redial facility,,which was the call to the police.
As for your last paragraph,,you must really use that grey matter of yours. It was a life and death situation,so Neville,like anyone else,would phone the police.
No,,Neville never liked officialdom,,as he'd probably realised that if he couldn't solve something himself,then he'd rather not bother going through a heap of red-tape and nonsense.I had a pa-in-law like him,,so I understand.
