It's really easy to pull snippets out of the hat without looking at their background. NOT very insightful, however. The bottom line was that Ann didn't like Sheila and took every opportunity to discredit her. Read those parts of her statement where she complains bitterly about the money the Bambers spent on THEIR DAUGHTER!!!!! Educating her, paying for courses that might have lead to employment, her wedding!!!!!!!!!  Read about the times when Ann admits to snubbing Sheila . Ignoring her compliments. Saying she didn't have time to talk. Of course she didn't know Sheila well. There was a 9 year age gap for starters. Ann was an adult, probably married with children -and a VERY different outlook on life- whilst Sheila was still a child. By the time Sheila was a giddy, frivolous teenager, Ann was a serious minded "young matron."  Sheila went off to the Bright lights of London. Ann was working hard at the family business. There was, I believe, never any point of mutual understanding between them.

AE was not trying to discredit Sheila. She was trying to incriminate Jeremy by pretending she knew Sheila well enough to claim it was impossible for her to have committed murder. She was the one using anecdotal incidents for her own ends.

Well, it would have been interesting to see what she'd have said had she been trying to discredit her. She'd have achieved far more by saying kind things about her. As I said NOT very insightful.

I agree nugs and also how could that same person go and stay with Colin for a weekend with her boyfriend JB and sleep with him there, show sympathy and support for the loss of his beloved sons knowing that her boyfriend was the murderer.

There is no excusing what she did. My earlier post sought to explain which bears no relationship to condoning.
