He could have avoided that if he'd called 999
If he had dialled 999, he could have only told them, what he told them. His call would have gone through a switchboard operator, who would in all liklihood have put Jeremy through to somebody like, for instance, 'PC West'...
This thread, is about the call which Jeremy did make. Everyone on both sides are in agreement that he made such a call. Only Rivlin QC has taken issue with what PC West says Jeremy spoke to him about, as per PC Wests witness statement account, which gives the time of the call as 3.26am. Well, for all anyone knows, the typist who typed out and prepared the statement might have 'typed the wrong digit', a '2' instead of a '3'. This possibility was never explored but to me if there is an innocent explanation in all of this, a mistake by the typist in recording the actual time of the call sits confortably with me, rather than it be suggested PC West himself recorded the time wrong by 10 minutes. As I say, he did not only record the time of Jeremy's call as 3.36am, but he also chose the option of declaring when he had received Jeremy's call, that two separate actions amounting to the same event - PC West received Jeremy's call at 3.36am, and he autheticated this by choosing the option on the same document to say that the recorded time of 3.36am, was the time he received Jeremy's call.
