That is more or less what I am saying. You are very hard on her.
She was 20 years old. Dragged over to WHF, Eastbourne, funerals & Amsterdam within a few days.
She was caught up in an unexpected situation. Never expecting the massacre would happen. Jeremy telling her it was MM and it was an 'open & shut' case. Jeremy is very persuasive. And charming.
Threads already created.
She also loved him and did not want to believe what had happened.
No one forced Julie to come up with the cheque book scheme, no one forced her to talk her friend into it, talked Susan into using her cheque book. No one forced Julie to forge Susan´s signature on the cheques; she practiced that for days and spent days trying to talk a reluctant Susan into it.
After the frauds, Susan felt very bad and threw away her loot. Julie "doesn´t remember" what she did with hers, "probably took it to Sally Army" (yeah, right!).
"Probably"? You´d remember a thing like that. Here we see Julie at her best. Turning her crime into a charitable action! Besides, according to her, she did it to impress Jeremy, so it is his fault!
Julie never takes responsibility for her own actions. What do you call people like that?
No one forced her to throw a piece of soap at Jeremy in the supermarket.
No one forcer her to hurl some box through Jeremy´s room and smash his mirror.
No one forced her to stab a teddy bear, which was a gift for her from Brett Collins.
No one forced her to sell drugs - a person studying to be a teacher of children!!!
No one forced her to pose half naked and take a large fee for a sleazy story in a sleazy magazine - on top of the gruesome murders of five people, two of them little children. Talk about dragging them through the mud!
No one forced Julie to try to strangle Jeremy.
Julie was (is?) a dodgy character. At twenty, she was a hardened as they come. I don´t know what made her that way. Wasn´t there something about sexual abuse in her childhood? She also claimed to have been raped when in France (think it was France.)
Both horrible things if true, and I feel bad for her; but that doesn´t change the fact that her moral compass was quite a bit off course.
