Morning Susan,,exactly.If the held evidence was in Jeremys' favour,,then all concerned wouldn't be happy at all.
Had the evidence destroyed Jeremy even more than he had been,,they then would have had the concrete proof that they'd so needed in order to secure the conviction that they desperately needed at the time. But there was NEVER anything to prove that he'd done any such thing.
I didn't think you could be imprisoned because nobody liked you,,but there you are. The police at one time were a very" left-wing" organisation,,and there'd have been no sympathy for Jeremy,a young,rich, up and coming businessman who would eventually have taken over his fathers' farm. Jealousy,I suspect.
An incident years ago proved this to me,,when my daughter had suffered bad next-door neighbours.Would you believe that the first question my daughter was asked was," do you own your house ",to which my daughter said," yes ". Well,came the answer," the next door only rented and were on benefits " ! What ? With that,the police were laughing and joking with the neighbours,,whose unruly teen had thrown paint over my daughters' front door/window,,slashed all 4 tyres of her car and threatened me for shouting at them,,jumped my g/son and his friend one New Years Eve to which the friend was hospitalised,my g/son was battered black and blue. CPS threw the case out saying there wasn't enough evidence !!!
12 months later,the family had done a moonlight flit ( thank goodness ) but it wasn't long before this unruly thug of a teenager ( that was another thing the police had said," he's only 16 !" ) held a shop up with a gun. He didn't go to prison or any other corrective place,,instead,they told his mother to keep him indoors !!!
Last I heard was that he'd gone to live in London. It'll only be a matter of time before I see his name in the papers-----------again. A criminal in the making.
I'm very surprised that everything wasn't incinerated.I wonder why this was ? Unless the powers that be thought,that at some time in the future,that the hidden evidence would come to light to prove that he was innocent. After all,,it suited EVERYONE at the time,to shut Jeremy up for a few years,until the dust settled,to hold back on the truth.
I wonder if any of them ever thought that at some point,Jeremy would fight back ? Did they honestly think that the man would take all this lying down ?
I'm of the opinion that if Jeremy had come from a run-down family,,was on benefits,no hope in life,etc etc,,that he'd have been well released before now.This is the difference,,and if you look at the way the sentencing is today,,you'll understand what I'm talking about. Some of the sentencing for heinous crimes,are abysmal. The excuses ? They just roll off the tongues of those idiots that will never live anywhere near these criminals.
