Steve, I guess certain things will only come to light when someone opens up and talks about them. Presently, Jeremy is trying to maintain an "everything in the garden was rosy" position. I don't believe he needed a cocktail of drugs to disengage himself from the act. I think he was crystal clear.
These are the two striking parallels between the Jeremy Bamber and David Bain cases. It is alluded to in James McNeish's book,
The Mask of Sanity,which I urge those who still believe Bain to be innocent to read. I quote one excerpt from Chapter 18:
One of the reasons,according to Paul Mullen that David Bain facing the jury sanitised everything, minimising the family conflict and his own difficulties within it, was because he wanted the jurors not to understand how angry and distressed he was
-"because if they understood that, they would understand why he killed them". Some observers, like the neuro-scientist quoted earlier, go further. "Not anger, hatred. Deep hatred. Deep rage-"narcissistic rage". Absolutely destructive rage. Not rage, end, stop. Murder. He probably thought, I'll shoot mum. No, I'll shoot dad. No, I'll shoot the kids. I'll shoot the bloody lot of them."
