Has the Jeremy Bamber case come to the end of the road?

[lookout]

In actual fact,when someone's head is all over the place I'm surprised he could drive at all.

OR "I don't want to get done for speeding."

That is exactly what I thought when I had an emergency at about 1am  The police had been called and I had to drive about 5 miles on country roads, nothing around but all I could think was I had to stay within the speed limit as things were bad enough without getting stopped for speeding. 
I also didn't want to get there, even though I knew I was behaving strangely it was almost like being in a daze which is how fear can affect you.
I'm not trying to prove anything just saying this was my experience in such a situation.

But he never gave his "head being all over the place" as any sort of explanation.

It's the unknown,Maggie,as when you have a purpose and know what you're going to be met with,it's a different matter,even though you've still got to focus on whatever it is you're going to face.

Once you knew about the situation, if you were responsible for doing so, did you wait 20 odd minutes before calling the police, or "phone a friend" to tell them something was wrong before calling them?

[lookout]

Who else could he phone but JM at that hour of the morning ? He was probably dithering at who he should call first------------we don't know !! He could no longer get hold of his father for advice,which shows that he was still reliant on others even in times of an emergency.

No, the police had already been called, I got up and got dressed and went out, I didn't tell anyone else I was going, it was a strange feeling but it was a different situation and I am not trying to say it was the same or prove anything.   Looking back I do think it was a strange and surprising reaction but that is how it was.

Sorry, Lookout. I CANNOT go with Jeremy the scaredy cat for any reason OTHER than he was deliberately trying to waste time. He managed 2 years in Australasia without Nevill by his side. If he'd called 999 he'd have been given all the assistance he required without getting someone out of bed who was MILES away from the scene -BEFORE calling police on a local phone number- and couldn't have done anything even if he'd asked.

[lookout]

That " phrase " wasn't known then and I doubt if he'd have known how to have described himself , or if he had have done it would have been used against him come the trial,that's for sure.

OK. The phraseology would have been different, but given that you think he drove slowly because:-

A) He'd been drinking.

B) He'd done drugs.

C) He was scared of getting done for speeding...................

..................it's a miracle he bothered to turn up at all.

Or he was scared of being confronted by a psychotic with a gun. Not a situation I would like to find myself in. Cannabis makes people paranoid even in normal circumstances.

His own thought processing wouldn't have been up to scratch if,as it's been said,he was smoking cannabis heavily.

If he'd been smoking cannabis he'd have been so laid back he wouldn't have given a second thought to driving.

And he certainly wouldn't have had the energy to kill anyone either.

Whereas,Sheila would have been suffering all kinds of withdrawals-------medication,cannabis and heroin.
