I think scipio has just recounted in another thread how that pocket books are usually made up at the end of the day and that he found it very difficult to recount everything accurately. He even pointed out discrepancies in the pocket book of Myall.
Indeed at the end of their day is when they would record what they did that day. They would try to recall the times they did things and what they did. Obviously they would not remember conversations to the letter but rather the conversations they had in general including what stood out to them as the most significant aspects. They would remember asking him about the guns in the house, whether SHeila coudl use them and whether Sheila would be more likely to shoot the police or Jeremy but not recall every single word used during such conversation they would recall the main points.
The answers affected how they behaved and what course of action they took so they had a reaosn to remember. They considered having Jeremy go with them to the door with them. But upon Jeremy saying she knew how to use all the guns in the house, while in a crazy rage could potentially shoot people she encounters and they didn't get along well together and thus she be even more apt to shooting at the police and him if he accompanied them, the hope of using him to help talk her down faded and they instead decided to call armed help.
Times contained are most likely to be approximate times because it is difficult to remember to the minute. There are occasions you look at a clock or your watch and recall having done so and recalling the ime to the minute but such is rare. You usually just remember appoximate times.
You can't expect a pockebook to be too the letter or to the minute. In turn you can't expect statements wtitted subsequently to be to the letter or minute unless th epolice actually went to look at official records detailing times and includes them. Just going by memory with refreshing from a notebook is not likely to result in being able to recall everything to the letter.
Jeremy supporters do one of 2 things. Either they attack for not being to the letter, Reader for instance, and try to suggest that means they are making hings up or lying because everything should be to the letter with no paraphrasing or the like otherwise they attack police for lying in their notebooks and statements based on nothing more than such supporter needing the claims to be untrue in order for Jeremy to be innocent or for their arguments in favor of Jeremy's innocence to be true.
Reader insists Nevill called and that West destroyed the log he made of the call and when filling out his pocketbook omitted including any reference to the call in order to pretend it never happened. Reader can't come up with any rational reason why he would do such though. Police did not suspect Jeremy at the time he fille dout his pocketbook. Worse though Reader suggests that as soon as jeremy called him that West decided to conceal Nevill's call and destory the log relating to it. He decided to use Jeremy's call as a tool to enable him to erase all record of Nevill's call and thus he didn't tell Jeremy that Nevill called and asked Jeremy for information he already obtained from Nevill, placed Jeremy on hold to pretend he was dispatching police as a result of Jeremy's call and contacted bonnett to tell Bonnett to also ommit all references to a call from nevill and to pretend they dispatche dpolcie because of a call fro Jeremy.
Jeremy supporters have wild tales that make no snese and are totally unsupported by any evidence. Instead of following the evidence they claim the evidence was all fabricated down to their pocketbook entries except in those rare instances where they feel they can twist the meaning of a pocketbook entry and try to pretend it supports their claims. In that instance they say the pocketbook entry is true and just mischaracterize what it means.
