I cant quite get my head round why the timings and that 10 minutes was so important but the police even before the court case thought it was because they investigated what happened ?
I don't understand what you mean.  :-\

Not sure I do either tbh? ???

But if EP are being accused of hiding something and the timings are important why is it so important?

Is it to do with the fact that if the call was 3.36 and with what happened inbetween the car would never been dispatched at the time that it was ? so they had to prove it was 3.26?

Do you get what I mean? sort of? If they did not show both parts of the  logs in court then I guess the one they did show did not tie up with Wests statement so they knew it would come up as a question so had to cover it by an investigation?


btw I  do get the bits about being confused about sheilas surname - she was separated and some people like to go back to being called maiden name or may even be at an "inbetween stage" Also if you asked me the age of my children I might sometimes hesitate to come up with the right age very quickly - only by one year though :)

Seriously,  the alleged call from Nevill to the police is utterly bonkers, fictitious and desperate. It's absurd to even contemplate it's existence in my view.

The defence hasn't even put it forward as a complaint.

I think this follows on from what NGB and I were discussing. The Campaign Team and the legal team are different entities and regardless of the legal teams reluctance to correct the Campaign Teams mythology,  it does not follow that the Campaign Team are accurate in any of their accusations.

It's also clear to me that the legal team should not be ridiculed for the Campaign Teams skullduggery.

I think I agree with you really - partly because it probably would have been mentioned to the relatives and Jeremy in the first few hours -after all they were not exactly tight lipped about other things ( even though they gave out all the wrong information  ::))

The only way I could see them trying to hide it would have been if things had been cocked up when they went it in and the decision was keep everything quiet from everyone until they decided how best to cover things up. But that did not happen because they were only too quick to tell the family and the press their theories. So they were not being tight lipped were they ?

IMO only though they should have got the information correct and have been more considerate about releasing information about how the victim were found.

That's your interpretation, but not what is specifically stated in the log. It is possible to interpret it in the way I explained.

No, it's not possible to intepret it the way you claim.  Your interpretation is not supported by the plain language of the document.

Your intepretatiton is contradicted by all available evidence and logic and SOLELY stems from you being too biased to be rational.  you are so desperate to find a way to defend Jeremy that you are absurdedly pretending that the log makes it appear that West told Bonnett that Nevill himself passed a message to West and that Bonnett simply neglected to mention such in his various statements as did West in his 2 statements, trial testimony and statement to COLP.  You are trying to pretend that West and Bonneett just didn't say such because they were not asked.  Your games are silly. 

All you are doing is embarrassing yourself in the process.


No, as you're adding the wording "entire preceding", which isn't in the log.
Of course, as it wasn't the same message. Nevill hadn't mentioned Jeremy or the shotguns in his message. He had mentioned Sheila, but using different words and had given her age differently.

I'm not adding anything.  He wrote a message attributed to Nevill AKA Mr. Bamber.  right after it he wrote, "Message passed to CD by the son of Mr. Bamber after the phone went dead".  What message was passed to the CD by the son of Mr. Bamber?  The preceding message naturally because that is the message that Jeremy attributed to his father before the phone went dead.

You want to ignore the context, the plain language and even all the statements given by West and Bonnett to pretend that Bonnett's comment was that Jeremy just passed the message about Nevill having a collection of shotguns only.  If that were the case then Bonnett would have written something to the effect of, "CD spoke to Mr Bamber's son afterward and he indicated Mr. Bamber has a collection of shotguns and .410s."  He would not write such in two sentences in the following manner:

"Message passed to CD by the son of Mr. Bamber after the phone went dead.  Mr. Bamber has a collection of shotguns and .410s"

If his comment was to just say Jeremy mentioned the shotgun collection he would have done it in a single sentence.  Your straining betrays your bias it is that simple.

"Message passed to CD by the son of Mr. Bamber after the phone went dead."  What message was passed to Jeremy BEFORE the phone went dead that was passed by Jeremy to the CD AFTER the
phone went dead?  That his father told him Sheila had gone crazy and had a gun.  There is no way at all to get around such and pretend the nonsense you are pretending.

At Jeremy's trial, Pc West wasn't asked whether Nevill had called him, and didn't state that there was only information from Jeremy. Bonnett wasn't questioned at the trial. If you are referring to the COLP enquiry, post the relevant COLP documents.

Jeremy's defense has not released their COLP interviews.  Nor have they released the 2 statements that West provided.  The burden rests with you not me to prove that hese statements and interviews leave open the possibility of a call from Nevill.  You have not read any of them so have no ability to say such.  You are just playing pathetic games though trying to pretend that if West had been asked at trial if he received a call from Nevill that he might have answered yes.  Quite clearly he would have answered no.

If Nevill had already called West previously then West would not have had any reason to ask for Nevill's name, address and phone number.  He already would have gotten such from Nevill.  Nor woudl he have needed to put Jeremy on hold to contact the information oom to find out what police station covered that area and to find cars that could respond because he already would have found out and sent a car in response to Nevill's call.  So he would have told Jeremy he already received a call from Nevill and already dispatched a car instea dof taking down information he already had and pretending he knew nothing about the situation. 

Jeremy was worried by the fact the call was disconnected and then phone busy.  He would have told Jeremy not to worry his father was still alive because he called police right after he called Jeremy and that is why the phone was busy.

Instead police checked the line to see if it was busy as Jeremy claimed and confirmed it was off the hook still.  Had Nevill called it would have been used after calling Jeremy and thus not continuously off the hook. 

Instead of facing reality you are humilating yourself by denying obvious facts and evidence to make ridiculous suggesitons.

This testimony leaves no question that West only asserts receiving a call from Jeremy not a call from Jeremy after speaking to Nevill:








The final nail in the coffin of your suggestion that West might have indicated a call from Nevill being received is that in his notebook he mad eno mention of it.  His notebook is where he noted all the significant things that he did that day.  Nothing about a call from Nevill and the defense was given a copy of that notebook and even referenced it in the cross examination.  Likewise Bonnett's notebook was provided to the defense and nothing about a call from Nevill.  Your claims are all baseless.
 
Bonnett's notebook and written statement mention a single call from West not multiple calls and in repsonse to West's call where he relayed Jeremy's message Bonnett sent CA7 not earlier.  Had Nevill called he would have sent the car as a result to that call not Jeremy's. 

Not necessarily. What mattered most was the information about Sheila. Bonnett's log doesn't state that Jeremy had been asked to come over.
Of course, but it was Pc West that tried the WHF number after Jeremy's call. Bonnett's reference to the line going dead is in his added remarks that mention information passed by the son of Mr. Bamber. Note that Pc West timed the line test at 3:42, which fits nicely with an immediate preceding call from Jeremy that lasted about six minutes. In your timeline, what was Pc West doing between 3:36 and 3:42?
No, the other way round. Jeremy gave 27 and Pc West wrote that on his disclosed log. Bonnett wrote 26, which indicates PC West told him 26, which in turn suggests Pc West was told 26, which in turn suggests Pc West was quoting information from Nevill, as Jeremy told him 27 (at about 3:36am).
Not necessarily. I was talking about a possible short period of time, perhaps just the time needed to listen at the door, then close the door, but he may have called the police straight away. Even if he replaced the handset after calling the police, that doesn't mean it wasn't taken off-hook again later. Jeremy said he tried the line several times and then called Sheila. He didn't say he tried the WHF number again after calling Sheila.
Transcript available? If not, how do you know what was said?
Obviously, Nevill's call to the police was concealed. The original reasons for that related to police failings, not a plan to fit up Jeremy.

There obcviously was no call from Nevill to concela and niether West nor Bonnett woudl have any reaosn on day 1 let alone all of August 1985 to conceal a call from nevill.  It would have been in their notebooks and mentioned to Jeremy.  Why was it significant to get so much information about Sheial from jeremy if Nevill had already provided it?  Why would they ask Nevill's address and phone number if he had already provided it?  Nevill woudl have been asked to provide all such infromation so they already woudl have had it and alreayd would have dispatched police.

Moreover, they would have had no need to check the line because they would KNOW that Nevill used the phone after speaking with Jeremy had he called police after speaking to Jeremy.

Eveyrthing you claim makes no sense and is totally unsupported by any of the evidence that you try to rely upon.  Your claims have been throughly debunked.  Ther eis nothing left for you to do other than admit defeat or say you don't care about logic or evidence you are so biased in favor of Jeremy that you choose to believe Neivll called despite not having a shred of proof to suggest such and a large amount of evidence prving you wrong.

I think this is a significant point.  When a claim is so specious that the legal team won't touch it that pretty much tells you it is definitely invalid.

That's about the size of it. It's tricky though, because some of the past legal teams have had their own acts of skullduggery.  Not that I am suggesting anything untoward with the current team.

I. Timing

The time of the call from Jeremy to police and to Julie were significant because of the timeline of events that Jeremy gave.  His story from early on was how he got disconnected then immediately called back and the line was busy.  He claimed he called Julie after police.  The timings are significant to help prove he called Julie first and called her before the time he even claimed to have received the call from Nevill. That is why the timing issues were a big deal.

II. Allegation fo a call to police by Nevill

The notion of Nevill making a call and trying to use the time differences in the log to try to pretend that was thought up recently but has no legs so the appeal team does not use such claim.

If Nevill had called and provided Sheila's name and age, his address and phone number, indicated who was staying at WHF that night and so forth then why would West ask Jeremy for this information?  He would have no need to ask Jeremy because he would already have it.  He would alreayd have sent  acar as well.  He would have told Jeremy that he got a busy signal because Nevill had phoned police after phoning him and that they already knew all about it and had already taken care of things by dispatchign a car so not to worry. 

The whole Nevill call suggesiton is thus ludicrous and there is no way at all for Jeremy's legal team to make such an allegation.

No doubt about that at all. I considered writing that his legla team made many asburd allegations in the past so this one has to be extra absurd for them to have to rejected it but thought better since that was different people. But not even the fake con-sartist lawyer tried making this claim(at least not that I am aware of)

In order to give the alternative argument (Neville called) you have to change the facts, add new ones and take some away. It doesn't add up.

West testified and gave evidence.

Are you suggesting he lied or withheld information?
His evidence seems mostly truthful, but he was not asked whether he had received an earlier call from Nevill. He said he had no recollection of some things (presumably things that Jeremy recalled), which seems odd. It's a pity that he wasn't asked whom he spoke to at Witham. There's very little known that can be used to corroborate his evidence.

That's completely nuts. How could he be asked about something which didn't happen?

It is inconceivable that West would not have, at some point, mentioned a call from Nevill if such a call existed.

Why would anyone ask him if he received a call from Nevill when it was patently obvious that no such call happened?

You attacked Caroline for not delving into the specifics like I was doing.  Yet you are hiding from the very specifics I raised that put your claims to bed.   While I have raised a large number of specifics 4 different points in particular address your claim that had West been asked he would have referred to a call from Nevill

1) West's pocketbook makes no mention of a call from Nevill only Jeremy.

2)  If Nevill called first and provided all the details of Sheila's name and age, that she supposedly went crazy, was armed, who was present at WHF, WHF's address and phone number and so forth then WHY would West ask Jeremy these specifics again?   You answer this question. Why would West not tell Jeremy Nevill already called so the matter was being taken care of and instead wast time to write down everything again pretending it was the first time he heard of it? Such makes no sense at all.

3) If Nevill called first why wouldn't  Bonnett and West have dispatched a police car to repsond to WHF in response to such call?  There is no question based on their statements and testimony that th epolice cars were all dispatched in response to Jeremy's call.

4) Why would police bother to do a line check at WHF and say the results match  Jeremy's claim of the line being left off the hook after Jeremy's call if they knew Nevill had used the phone after calling Jeremy?  For sure Nevill woudl have mentioned calling Jeremy beofre police and naturally that is not on any of the logs other than from the vantage of Jeremy receiving a call and it being disconnected.  They would have told, Jeremy "don't to worry the disconnection didn't mean something nefarious. Your dad phoned me after calling you.  He hung up fast to call us and that is why the phone was busy when you tried to call back."  that is what a cop would tell him and then would no bother doing a line check yet.  The line check would be after police at the scene could not contact those inside so tried phoning the house but found the line busy so could not get through.  The line check was to check Jeremy's claims that upon the phone going dead the line was busy and there has been no contact with the occupants since.  Had Nevill called afterwards then there would have been contact after the suppsoed disconnection.       

I articulated plenty of other evidence to refute a call from Nevill but these are sufficient to completely refute your claim that it is possible West would have indicated at trial he received a call from Nevill had he been asked if he receive one and why no one even bothered to ask.  It is readily apparent he would have said no.
