She believes he is guilty

Why doesn't she say she know he is guilty if he really told her tonight's the night etc

Actually, I find "believing" far more emphatic than "knowing".

sames as Bewes.

But to be fair she said after the trial that he NEVER admitted he had done it . So deep down she does not know 100% does she ? But the chances of him making up all the plots and stories and then not being guilty must be quite remote?

She can only know if she was there but he also told her he hired someone. I completely agree with your last sentence.

Although it is 30 years it would be interesting to know who many other newspapers were approached to buy Mugfords story

It's something a good investigative journalist could look into and I wonder if Carol tried going down that path

Someone who contacted me a long while ago with regard to writing to Jeremy and her interest was her mother was part of the press who covered the Bamber trial

She might be able to help with some names

which is why it is important that her testimony is 100% not embellished in order to fit the crime scene and circumstances.

In some ways I hope it is not , because how could you live with yourself.

I think they were all approaching her and we do know her stories about press harassment were true.

she only gave one other magazine interview as she was unhappy with the NOW one. Is that on the forum?

And did he not tell her, in a restaurant, that there was nothing she could have done to stop it...............or words to that effect?

But it doesn't fit the crime scene, he told her a hit man was responsible. I believe he thought she would be discredited because he didn't tell her the full truth.

I think it's an important point if Mugford spoke to other newspapers about deals before trial as its proof she lied during trial

Yes, but if part of it is seen to be untrue, I think the thought they would just believe she was seeking revenge for being dumped.

What is the difference in organising for 2 children and 3 adults to be murdered or murdering 2 children and 3 adults

Does Mugford really expect us to believe one is better than the other

Very clever way to implicate Jeremy but make herself not look so bad herself for staying with him

She might have behaved like a xxxx but I don't see her avariciously poring over deals offered by diverse publications. Her solicitor told her he'd get the best deal he could.

It's the timing of the negotiations with each newspaper I am interested

I am just interested in the truth and facts
