I wasn't attempting to quote you.
You posted "You ask how we know his motive was...", so you were referring to the wording of my earlier question, which amounts to quoting me. However, you perhaps didn't reread post #292, in which vidvic alleged Jeremy's motive. I was replying to vidvic about that, so my question was based on his wording. Hence your point about whether appearing reasonable applied to a future date would need to be addressed to vidvic rather than me.
By the way, vidvic asserted "initially Bamber said that he called the police BEFORE he called Julie", which seems incorrect, as Jeremy initially stated he called Julie at about 3:25am.
. . . he mentioned it a few times and one day he went through with it.
Read again - I wrote "have
then told you (or anyone else)".
