I am still confused on many things that's why I read everything but like you I have a gut feeling he didn't do and have a problem with the two people who ultimately got him convicted mugford motive re jealousy and the relatives re inheritance the silencer the badgering of the police and also the state of their finances.
If JB did it carrying out the murders blood splatter cycling back home back with the police cool as a cucumber
Percentage wise probably 99% because of course he cant prove he didn't but when I went to the area a couple of weeks ago that really made me more certain he was innocent because it's such a beautiful charming place he did have a charmed life. I know many people who work in family businesses and they all generally moan about money and think they should get more especially if a business is doing well. But as he is in prison and there are so many mysteries about this case and documents witheld I am 100% for a retrial.
Kaldin have you been to the area?
I don't gel with your idea that Mugford's reason for doing what she did was jealousy. I think this version is the more believable..
Julie Mugford and Jeremy spent the following weekend with Colin Caffell and on 12 August 1985 she went to the house in Goldhanger with Jeremy. There he told her that the police had been a bit slack because they had not done all the fingerprinting at White House Farm. On 16 August Julie attended the funerals of Nevill and June with Jeremy and then on 19 August the funerals of Sheila and her children. During that period she spoke of Jeremy taking her out for frequent meals, and buying expensive clothes for himself and for her. She described his mood during this period as “very happy”. After one of the funerals they drank champagne and cocktails.
Julie spent the weekend of 17-18 August 1985 with him in Eastbourne and it was then that she began to ask how he could behave as he was doing. She kept telling him “£2,000 for 5 lives”. The following week the couple went to Amsterdam for two days, staying in expensive hotels and eating out. On 27 August Julie returned alone to her lodgings in London and she told her friend Susan Battersby of what Jeremy had done.
On Saturday 31 August Julie asked Jeremy whether he loved her. He said he did not know. Again they spoke about the murders. Julie said she could not cope with him behaving so normally and asked why he had told her what had happened. She said she felt guilt for the two of them. Jeremy told her he was doing everybody a favour and there was nothing to feel guilty about. Later that night he told her that she was the best friend he had ever had and he had entrusted his life to her.
On Tuesday 3 September the couple met again in London at the flat which had belonged to Sheila. Again Julie raised the question of their relationship and his part in the killing. During their conversation Jeremy received a telephone call from an ex-girlfriend and Julie heard him asking her out. She became angry and threw an ornament box at a mirror and then slapped him. He became very angry and twisted her arm up behind her back. 4 days later, she went to the police.
It also appears that a few hours after the shooting, Jeremy was more enthused by the Porsche he was going to get in a few weeks time than he was by the slaughter of five members of his family. Unbelievable!!
