Intial statements are just that, intial.

Several more drafts will be made until the witness is happy for it to be submitted. It is very important that the witness is totally happy with the WS. The person will be asked questions on it in the witness stand.

The final draft will be made available to both prosecution & defence.

Both parties can ask the witness questions on the submitted WS. Not the original one.

If you are telling the truth then there should be no need for changes.

Leaving aside the whole Bamber case.....no I would not lie for my child. I would want to support him but I would not lie for him no.

I agree - I have always tried to teach my children to tell the truth - so I would do the same.

Me too,Jansus,,and I suspect that Jeremy was brought up the same. The reason why he hasn't " plumped " for a guilty plea,,just to satisfy those concerned who convicted him,in order for them to turn round and say " I told you so ".It's like a game of cat and mouse waiting to see who will succumb first.
Jeremys' determination to stand by the truth,such as he has done,,is admirable.
I'm of the type that would also fight to the finish,regardless,as long as I got the truth.
