Funny how she didn't try to find another rich man where she could be lady of the manor.



Nobody likes an accessory !!

With the reputation she'd made for herself after THOSE pictures, that she'd had to resign her teaching position because her presence in the school did nothing to enhance the school's reputation, I doubt her name would have been top of a "Suitable Bride's" list so her chances were limited of finding a wealthy man, from a respectable background, who was willing to take her on. We are talking about England in 1985. Old money would certainly have closed ranks so I imagine she had to move the goal posts.

How exactly would she go about finding a rich man anyway?  She wasn't model material- I don't even think she was very feminine looking with her haircut and all-  so even if in a public place or at a party where a rich guy happened to be it is not as if they would flock to her.  She would have to go trying to pursue rich men herself.  But there is no evidence she tried and no evidence she exhibited the gold digger attributes some Jeremy supporters want to attribute to her as part of their efforts to discount her testimony. I think that is what Adams snide comment was speaking to.

Supporters and April have claimed Julie approached the police after realising Jeremy was not going to allow her to be the lady of the manor.

Jeremy indirectly supports this saying she approached the police because he apparently jilted her.

Not sure why she was living in shared accommodation in New Cross,  studying for her second degree if all she wanted to do was live off Jeremy.

Whether she was able to find another rich man or not, there is no evidence she tried to. Guess she decided to get her second degree and get a prestigious job instead.

I can go with all of what you said re Julie......................but I don't think Julie saw herself the same way

Plus, she had £25,000.00 and didn't need anyone else's cash.

A sizeable sum back in 1986.

Didn't she buy her mother a house with the 25k ?

She deserved the 25k, thread already created. It would have kept her going for a year or so. But at only 21 and apparently wanting to be a lady of the manor, she would need to find another man.

If she wanted to be the lady of the manor, why was she with Jeremy, who she met while he was doing a dead end job. Any possible inheritance of Jeremy was decades away.

JB paid off her student debts and bought HERSELF a flat/apartment.

No, she bought herself a flat! If you have written THAT in your 'CREATED THREAD' best pop over and amend it!

I wouldn't agree, really. But the press are always going to pay for stories like that. She has a story to tell and to the press it was worth a lot of money - so I don't blame her for accepting the fee. She does have a lot to think about though, she should have gone to the police directly after the crimes, that would have stopped so many conspiracy theories - the fact she stayed with Bamber for so long is a stain on her and always will be. I do agree with her not being prosecuted though as she was forth coming with evidence when she finally talked and her testimony was important to the trial  - the great evil was gotten in the end.

Jeremy testified Julie approached the police after he apparently 'jilted her'. This may be correct, but it doesn't mean she lied. Anyway a jilted woman is just as likely to tell the truth. Once she recovers from the shock of what her boyfriend did.

Approaching the police undoubtedly means she wanted to give a statement. However the OS says she only gave a statement after the police said they would not prosecute her for crimes. This is incorrect, the only crime they were aware of was the caravan break in. Which Julie told them about after she approached them.

It does seem far fetched that Julie would approach the police and then have to be forced into making a statement.
