He was asked why hd did not phone nearby farm workers, relatives or 999.
Jeremy said 'it did no occur to him'.
The police also asked him why he phoned Julie.
Jeremy said 'no comment'.
At various times he said various things. At trial he suggested he didn't call police right away or 999 because at first he didn't think the matter was too serious but after he thought about it a while then he decided it was serious so better phone police but he didn't know 999 would get a faster result.
Jeremy getting a gun out to shoot rabbits that had no moderator or scope makes no sense for a variety of reasons
Leaving the gun and bullets in the kitchen makes no sense
Nevill or June seeing the gun in the kitchen and leaving it there makes no sense
If Sheila actually had a gun on Nevill:
Nevill calling Jeremy makes no sense
Jeremy recieving such a call and phoning Julie makes no sense
Jeremy asking police to pick him up makes no sense and then waiting on the side of the road for them to pass and after 3 minutes go by to get back on the road and pull up to the cops makes no sense
Jeremy's actions only make sense if he is the killer and make sense as follows:
1) to lie and say he left the gun out to pretend Sheila would have had a weapon of opportunity to grab because: 1) she would not be liekly to go to the closet to get a gun herself 2) if she was seen loading the magazine then the gun would have been taken away so pretending she had a weapon of opportunity with a loaded magazine nearby was essential to try to sell his story
2) the Call from Nevill made up for 2 reasons 1) to frame Sheila 2) create an alibi of sorts pretending he was home at the time of the murders
3) to try to pretend that the call actually happened and that he did in fact receive it at home not merely call police from WHF and then walk outside and pretend he just drove there and thus try to document his alibi he did 2 things he 1) called Julie so he could say I really did receive a call I phoned Julie to tell her about it you can even ask her about it and 2) asked police to pick him up so they could establish he had been at home then when that failed waited in the side of the road for them to pass by so they could see him pull up several minites after him so they could say he arrived after so must have been at home like he claims. His second call to Julie was to tell her not to go to work so that police could question her and she could support his acocunt that he claimed Nevill had called.
If he didn't think it was that serious why would he call Julie? If he did think it was serious then he still would have had no reason to call Julie. He had no reason at all to call Julie, make sure police go by or do
other things he did like lie about Sheila having fired every gun in the house. Everything was calculated to give him an alibi of sorts and to frame Sheila.
