But Julie did admit to her crime---------only because it suited her and others to do so.
Jeremy hasn't admitted anything that he didn't do !
How do you think the case would have gone had nobody known about Julies' crime,until towards the summing up ? There'd have been a complete turnaround and the jury then would have realised that she wasn't without blame herself,,that if she could commit fraud,,then she could be an accessory.
There was a method in the madness of Stan Jones in gleaning this information from the start,,he wanted/needed this conviction come what may.
