Ok I have checked up with several telephone engineers who used to work on the telephone systems such as were at Maldon and the surrounding district and this is what they said:
(1) There was no way that a telephone engineer could tell who hung up the phone first. Unless they were (a) on the phone the same time as the two parties. (b) Using specialist surveilance equipment at the time of the phone calls themselves.
So that means that the telephone "expert" was wrong if he testified that Jeremy ended the call.
(2) As I said before concerning the cut-off point for whoever is ringing another person. Is 6 minutes. Thus making it impossible for Jeremy to phone his own phone from WHF and then pick up the phone at his own cottage. Even if he peddled like the clappers.
Conclusion: What do we deduce from the one telephone call from WHF on the morning of the 7th of August 1985? I believe we can confidently claim that this telephone call backs up the fact that Jeremy did indeed receive a call from his father that morning.
I further suggest that this fact should be included in Jeremy's latest application for appeal. So much for the prosecution "experts". If indeed the expert did actually testify as is claimed by scipio?
