I'm hoping upon hope that Jeremy proves everyone wrong about his conviction.

"Dad especially would be disappointed in me for having failed to prove my innocence and therefore cleared their names too within thirty years."

I agree it is odd, clear their names of what?

If he is innocent I don't think it is bizzare - the implication is that Jeremy turned out to be a murderer partly because of his upbringing -so if he is guilty then his parents raised a murderer and failed to protect their daughter and grandchildren from him knowing he was evil ( if you believe BW)


If he is innocent then it was their daughters illness that was responsible and not them.

And I just think he means that his father would not have wanted him to serve a life sentence and that JB should somehow have the knowledge to just get on with it and sort it out.

Just my interpretation that's all - of course if he is guilty then it is a nonsense.

He's obviously read about the ( clueless ) way that his parents brought both children up and so he wants to prove everyone wrong,which is only natural when he's the innocent one.

Things like this is why I believe him to be a psychopath.

He read about how they brought him up?  He lived it he didn't have to read about it.

No - lookout means things that have been written in books - especially about June . They may have been exaggerated for all we know.

Well I believe he thinks he is innocent ( whether he is or not ) I genuinely think in his mind he is.

That's what I took her post as meaning too. But the worst things I have read about June and the pain she caused her children through their heavily religious upbringing wasn't in books - it was on here.

I can agree with that to an extent, he is trying to act like he is innocent, and that is difficult because he isn't - so doesn't know how he should react- or how he would really feel if he was innocent of a crime and in prison for so long for a crime they didn't commit - so he is projecting what he thinks he would and should feel like.

He is also in PR mode - because of the high profile natures of the two books this year and the numerous negative newpapers articles about him - which is why he is trying to win public support with his Baking and his Apology - he understands a case like this needs public support.

Well, I guess if he said his mother was a religious maniac, his father was past it, his sister was mad and his nephews were a mill stone round their father's neck, he'd have justified it as doing everyone a favour so how could that constitute guilt?

Personally I found Colins book very difficult to read with what he said about June . I have not read many other books.

He read about how they brought him up?  He lived it he didn't have to read about it.

But this is where you're wrong. Jeremy saw NO wrong in either parent,but Sheila did. It's often said that those looking in from the outside can see more than those who live with them.  Jeremy saw no wrong in his mother,but I certainly did and he's still no wiser,but who would I be to tell him that his mother was more mentally ill than Sheila ?

I agree Jan, think Colin was still very raw and struggling with anger and pain when he wrote the book, he used it to help his healing and accepting process. It was a very personal account and possibly not always totally accurate.  No one can deny it was a horrendous loss and trauma for Colin, more than for anyone else really because he lost his precious boys and to lose a child is the one thing you never recover from imo.

The article is littered with inaccuracies but this apology may be a halfway house to finally admitting his culpability.
