looking at a film of the house and knowing that the family also had other properties I would think that risking life in jail against waiting for his share of what was a large inheritance does not make any sense .
I know what you will say to that though.
Steve applies a nonsensical inequitable prejudice against Jeremy
For example Jeremy saying
"it's important to have money whilst you're young" is considered to be watertight and damning evidence.
However when it comes to Sheila saying
"All People Are Bad And Should Be Killed" there is some excuse or another to render it irrelevant.
Had the term
"All People Are Bad And Should Be Killed" been applied to Jeremy instead of Sheila. I have no doubt that it would form part of Steve's principal reasons to justify his position on guilt.
