I was being sarcastic
. You still haven't answered the question of WHY the call would be kept secret and why an innocent man would be framed?
I haven't answered your questions because I couldn't possibly know, although once the decision to frame an innocent man had been taken then the question of why the call would be kept secret answers itself.
Why they would frame an innocent man is a question I can only speculate on, but innocent men have been knowingly framed so many times that I fail to see why you consider this a valid argument.
So in your scenario what proportion of the force knew he was framed but were ok about it because they knew him to be guilty? And exactly how did they know he was guilty because if the evidence was fabricated then what did they base their certainty on? A hunch, gut feeling what?
Where was the sarcasm by the way; I must have missed it. All I could see was a claim that EP couldn't have framed JB because half the force would know about his father's call and that for this reason my claims lacked credibility.
It is clear that it would make no difference to the police response whether the call was 999 or not; the details of the incident are the same either way and that is what informs the response not the number dialled.
