I am just posting this - previously posted because as I said I was interested in the timing of the meeting with the newspaper as it would seem extremely stupid for JB to be drawing attention to himself in this way.
"Here's a piece about Jeremys questioning
Vic you can pull me up if you think anything is wrong here
After his first arrest on the 8th of September, he was questioned for four days sometimes until 11pm at night. Police constantly pressed him on the positioning of the gun accusing him of telling some police officers that the rifle was on the table, but he was adamant the gun was on the settle. DS Stan Jones asked him if he had or hadn’t fired the gun. He was insistent that he had not fired the rifle. They went over and over the telephone call from his father. The records of these interviews span for hundreds of pages. DS Jones told Jeremy that Julie had said that he had called her before calling the police which contradicted what both he and Julie had initially told police. The time of the call needed to be ‘fixed’ at a much earlier time for the prosecution to state that he called Julie first.
After days of questioning Jeremy gave in with confusion and said that maybe he did call Julie first. This single discrepancy was used against Jeremy although it actually has no real bearing on the facts; whether he called Julie first or the police second the events still happened just as he had said. Since the interview Jeremy has maintained that he called the police before he called Julie. There are no other discrepancies in Jeremy’s accounts throughout his 27 years.
Through all of the witness accounts, many people have altered their accounts and statements contradict each other, there is only one account which remains the same to this day and it is the account of Jeremy Bamber. This is because it is the truth and the truth does not alter, other witnesses have exaggerated and embellished their original accounts in the media and to different police enquiries. Jeremy had coped with the strain of the continual questioning and by comparison with other miscarriages of justice his version of accounts has not altered; he has never confessed nor altered his story under duress.
After his first arrest and release without charge Jeremy was approached by the newspapers for his story. Naively he went to meet with one after his solicitor advised him against it. But Jeremy was tired of being vilified by the newspapers after his arrest and wanted to tell his story. Jeremy said that Brett Collins also advised that he should go to meet with the journalist. But the Sun journalist wasn’t interested in Jeremy’s account, and continually asked questions about Sheila Caffell and requested any modelling pictures which might have been pornographic. Jeremy had told him that there were none and that there might have been some topless ones but Colin Caffell would have those. The journalist ran the story reporting that the newspaper had been offered these pictures and they also went to the police. The newspaper never obtained pictures of Sheila, because they didn’t exist, further proof that Jeremy Bamber had not intended to sell any pictures to the newspaper.
Jeremy’s efforts to tell his story had gone disastrously wrong, this coupled with the burglary at the caravan park made the outlook very bleak. Stories escalated about Jeremy’s relationship with Brett Collins and his trips abroad. Acquaintances turned their backs on him and his often eccentric, foolish behaviour and socializing with homosexuals was amplified by local gossip. His enjoyment of cannabis, later down classified to a class C drug and frequently used by the middle classes was also a major point of “criminality” used by the prosecution. He was presented as having spent a lot of money on holidays but the reality was on his trip to Amsterdam he, Brett and Julie had shared the same room to economise.
After his arrest the trip to the South of France was glamorized but the fact was that Jeremy and Brett stayed in a caravan to keep the costs low. Anything to escape the now intrusive and destructive glare of the media, Jeremy was an innocent man subjected to similar treatment as other people who are vilified in the press and subsequently released without charge.
Jeremy had continued smoking pot, taking prescribed sedatives[10] and alcohol to drown out the shock, pain and sorrow. His arrest and high media profile prompted his new love Virginia to turn her back on him. Julie had contrived a convoluted story to the police, and his relatives had turned against him and by their own admission, were taking belongings from his family home without permission.[11] Even Colin Caffell had become distant and had written to him saying that the relatives had insisted that Jeremy was duping him and was definitely guilty and Colin didn’t know what to believe now his beautiful twins were dead and Jeremy had been arrested and released without charge.[12"
