How could you possibly know that Jeremy could never emulate Neville
Have you spoken to him
Have you personally questioned him
Do you know what plans Jeremy had made for the future
Are you aware how Jeremy has handled him self in prison
Are you aware what prison officers think of Jeremy
Everything that has happened to Jeremy since he was a baby has not made him bitter
He was a young boy with his whole life in front of him and just wanted to settle down with a nice girl
Many farmers couldn't emulate Nevill,let alone Jeremy,who was born in Kensington,London to an Army Sergeant,who doubtless had the killer instinct necessary for that profession. He was uprooted from that locale and put slap bang in the country,whether it was the thirty weeks a year he spent at Gresham's School in Holt,Norfolk or the rest of the time in that outwardly imposing but inwardly lugubrious and dreary Georgian dwelling,White House Farm.I doubt Jeremy had made many fixed plans for the future,symptomatic of many of us at that age. I'm sure the Prison Officers think Jeremy is a model prisoner,apart from his "dirty" protest of 1992,which got him nowhere. I personally don't think he is getting much rehabilitation at all,far more punishment when you think of the attack in 2004 which nearly killed him,and which many people in the higher echelons of authority probably wished had killed him,so sick of the ramifications of this case they appear to be, whether he remains inside or let out: for them the case seems nothing but trouble.
I'm sorry Jackie,but you have to understand that Jeremy is a convicted child-killer,and maybe this is better coming from someone whom you do not know,who wishes you no harm and for whom studying this case is heartbreaking,but who can switch off at the end of the day and not get personally involved. We could argue about what rights Colin has now,we could argue about whether Jeremy's increase in sentence was justified or not,and we could argue about respectable people who act for no personal gain because they feel bad about the whole business and think something is not quite right.
