Hi Susan,I'm so glad I'm not on my own. Horrible though isn't it ? Try as you might you can't help it. It's the result of hanging on to my emotions ( it's what I say anyway ) though I'm not a " nervy " type.
al im trying to do is take circumstantial and supposition out of the question and base his sittuation on actual known facts which there are very few.It comes down to what you believe and what is probable.However being probably guilty should not be enough as you must not give gulty if there is any reasonable doubt.thats all i am mean i agree that with all the circumstantial evidence and if you believe the family and JM then circumstantially hes probably guilty but that is not enough.And i have grave doubts about JMS testimony and in the familys motive enough to allow reasonable doubt.But what do i Know
it was enough based uon the jury had noide the family would benifit from jbs verdict nor that jm had immunity or that she was negotiating with the newspapers .Also it was enough in many cases that are overturned.But as i say what do i know just think that there is a case for doubt.
Supposing the jury HAD known that the family would benefit from his conviction. Would that have "unguiltied" him? It's only your opinion that circumstantial evidence isn't enough to convict. It obviously was because they convicted him. Are you suggesting they'd have let a guilty man walk free to prevent his relatives from benefiting? Or because his ex was going to do a deal with a newspaper and they felt sorry for him. I'm prepared to bet he'd have demanded a hell of a lot more than £25,000.
He'd made his own deal - for £40,000.00 - perhaps the jury should have known that?
We never seem to hear about Jeremy's deal! But as much as I am sure he wanted the 40k, he had much more reason to lie, his freedom!
According to Claire Powell,where the £40,000 came in was the debt which had belonged to Sheila to which her mother paid by cheque,but I suppose any old lie will do so long as what's said implicates Jeremy ?
Have you asked yourself just how CP managed to find this information and from whom? When she wrote that book there was no one left alive who could authenticate/corroborate that story.........................unless she got it from Jeremy who was trying to deflect the £40,000 he'd asked the newspaper for.
The information was evident in a cheque stub which Jeremy had found in his mother's cheque book., It had been made out to Sheila,so with bills that had mounted up,he'd have also found out through the " drug-world " which existed at the time,that she'd also owed that bill too which wasn't that long before the tragedy.
