How can it be mischievously when Bamber said it was 3.10am, when Bamber said he next phoned Julie, then immediately phoned Chelmsford, he then says it took him 10mins to look the number up.
He didn't say he received the call at 3.10am, he did not write his witness statement, it was written out by DC Clark who paraphrased the time of the call. Clark wrote ' at around 3.10am', which does not mean the call was at that time. Other facts establish that the call made by Neville to Jeremy occurred at around 3.25am. You can't go around plucking a time out of thin air just because it mentions a time here, there or everywhere, in isolation. Ok, lets take this example of yours and say, right the time of Nevilles call to Jeremy was at 3.10am, no doubt about it...
OK, so in isolation thats fair and dandy. But there are other related features which need to be taken into account, if we are to say, yes, the time of Nevilles call to Jeremy had been at 3.10am. So that's settled just to appease you and your proposition. First thing I want to say, is that there was only a 10 minute delay between the time Nevilles call to Jeremy got cut short. The call which Jeremy made to police at Chelmsford lasted 10 minutes, the first 5 minutes of which Jeremy was placed on hold. The occupants of CA07, that is Bews, Myall and Saxby were deployed to the scene prior to Jeremy making contact with the police at Chelmsford. PC West contacted a female operator at 3.42am whilst he had Jeremy still on the exchange line...
The time that the occupants of CA07 (Bews, Myall and Saxby) were deployed to the incident at the farmhouse, has never been in doubt by anyone. Even the appellate court accepted that CA07 were deployed to the scene from Witham police station at precisely 3.35am. Same philosophy was applied in the matter of PC West contacting a female operator regarding the phone at the farmhouse? So, we have two timed events, the deployment of CA07 occupants to the scene at 3.35am, which occurred prior to Jeremy contacting Chelmsford police station at 3.36am (unchallemged), and secondly, PC Wests contact with a female operator regarding the state of the phone at the scene, at 3.42am, at a time PC West still had Jeremy on the exchange line from 3.36am, onward...
You can already see chaos developing in connection with your proposition. Since, Jeremy would hardly have been contacting Chelmsford police station at 3.20am, be on hold 5 minutes before he actually speaks to PC West at 3.25am, and for the occupants of CA07 to have been deployed to the scene (3.35am) prior to Jeremy contacting Chelmsford police, or for that matter for Jeremy to still be on the line with PC West at 3.42am whilst he contacted a female operator regarding the state of the phone back at the farmhouse?
You see the problem?
Chaos!!!
