Jeremy Bamber posts bizarre apology for 'failing to clear his name'

[lookout]

I don't know where you've dredged this up from..

Bottom of the barrel presumably, Steve.

The engagement was broken off well before the murders. June and Nevill were happy about the engagement and began taking over the planning as if it was their idea.  Because of his mental issues he decided to spite them by breaking it off.  Out of spite he enjoyed doing things that pissed them off.

source ?  As June and Neville cant confirm the above where did it come from ?

And can you show a medical diagnosis for his "mental" problems ?

[lookout]

There wasn't even an engagement to break off.

There was never any rings exchanged as far as I am aware?

Julie seemed to have thought there was when she agreed to marry him.

Jeremy asked Julie to marry him and she accepted, that means they were engaged.  He told his parents they were engaged.  His parents were happy.  He subsequently broke it off out of spite saying they acted like it was their idea.  He didn't like doing things that made his parents happy he had mental issues.

It doesn't/didn't mean that they were engaged at all.Where are all the witnesses ? He'd said he wasn't ready for marriage anyway.
As for the " mental issues " bit.I've yet to read about those.

Lookout, the issuing of a proposal and its acceptance constitutes an engagement. The ring is only a token. I know of engagements where there was a necklace given as a token. I know of others where it was decided to put the money to other use.

All I'm asking for are witnesses to this event.

To the best of my memory, this took place during the Christmas holiday. Very few proposals are made publicly -indeed, why should they be?- and it's not impossible that they were in bed. Witnesses are unlikely.

Julie told the police about the engagement and Jeremy admitted to it though naturally he didn't admit to telling Julie he was breaking off the engagement because he wanted to spite his parents because admitting he was out to spite them would not look very good...

I thought, after he'd broken the news to his parents, he came back and said he'd changed his mind because his parents had approved. Whether this meant they approved his choice of bride, his decision OR made noises about it being high time he stopped living in sin isn't clear. What is clear is that it was the closest Julie came to getting his ring on her finger.

I think that means 90% of teenagers have mental issues then (:

this is a surprising illogical posting from you ? Are you defrosting?

If they hated Julie as alleged then they would not have approved of the marriage. A mother who hates the intended spouse- for whatever the reason- is going to voice objection not pleasure.

Saying they approved so he was postponing things certainly sounds to me like it was being represented as an effort to spite them.

Children who buck their parents just to rebel are extremely immature and do have mental issues.  To still act that way as an adult demonstrates even more mental issues.  Ann Eaton among others described things Jeremy would do out of spite including refusing to dress up when going to places with Nevill where looking sophisticated would have pleased Nevill.  Jeremy clearly was an immature idiot with grievances against his parents- he didn't steal from them because he loved them so much.  This obviously demonstrated the absence of the usual emotional connection that would inhibit killing your parents for money.
