Nobody " manufactured " evidence. Nor was anything planted. Both would have to be proved.
Jan,I am almost certain that the family were convinced that Jeremy murdered his family.It's human nature to think on those terms after hearing about his escapades of drink and debauchery and generally the high life. I'd probably think the same myself,as would thousands of others,but there were other foibles within the family that neither the relatives nor many in the world outside WHF would know about.
In this case,EP didn't know,or know anything about the family, so were working " blind ",but the relatives " knew",obviously ( and also knew of the land deal before Jeremy did ) except they only knew Jeremy as being a thorn in their sides,as well as the most hateful person that walked the earth. So that was off to a bad start as regards a character reference.
Julie did want revenge and wanted to show Jeremy that she meant business,but things went further than what she'd thought,so an outpouring of the conversations that took place over the time they were together,followed.
I know that over the years,life hasn't always been kind to JM and the years have brought uncertainty on more than one occasion because of that day at the trial.
I do think that between EP and JM,a " deal " was struck to avoid prosecution to JM,but as I've already said,it came at a price for JM and her husband, and the ball is in her court now,which is all I'm prepared to say on the matter.
One officer who was at the scene,who I do know of,knew that mistakes had been made,is 100% certain of Jeremy's innocence,but how would he feel if he opened up ? He knows what he's had to live with the same as JM and her husband,but at 30 years on,it's the thought of repercussions in keeping things quiet,plus a possible jail sentence.
What I've heard over recent months is far from moral.
