Sherlock has solved the case at last ...

What a con artist!

This is how a pathological liar twists events and plays them to their advantage

Referring to 'Woody' Bamber states, "he exaggerates even the simplest of facts"

Oh crap! I've accused people of exaggerating facts before 

How many members of my family does that mean I've massacred?

[Stephanie]

What do you mean what behaviour can be inferred from his criminal activities? The behaviour that can be inferred is that he's capable of committing criminal activities. However, that doesn't necessarily include murdering his entire family, which is a little more than a "criminal activity".

Why did he smoke cannabis? Anxiety? Depression? To calm him down?

[Stephanie]

No,Jeremy wasn't psychologically damaged by his mother at all. He was more of a laid-back character who obviously let things go over his head,whereas Sheila took everything to heart which made her more vulnerable and a target for her mother to control.

Laid back? What from smoking so much weed?

What about the cocaine? How did that make him feel I wonder?

[Stephanie]

Julie Mugford also stole money, dealt in cannabis, and committed cheque fraud, but that doesn't mean she's capable of murdering someone. As I said, Jeremy's crimes were a far cry from murdering five people in cold blood.

Julie Mugford had no motive, had a solid alibi and murdered no one! Nor is she accused or cmvicted of doing so!

Why did he smoke cannabis? Anxiety? Depression? To calm him down?

I don't know. Lots of people smoke it for a variety of reasons. Sometimes it's because they think it's "trendy".

[Stephanie]

Don't worry,the like of you would have known this information,and before long it would have been in the media. Every last thing about JB has been written about----except pregnancy and abortion.
I used to work on and off in an abortion clinic so I should know what abortion is 

What on earth are you on about now?

You said Jeremy Bamber never got anyone pregnant but you were WRONG!

Why do you have to make everything about you lookout? Where you used to work is not relevant.

[Stephanie]

That isn't what she is implying, but having a deviant history is a typical factor for individuals capable of murder.

She just doesn't want to admit it 

[Stephanie]

Couldn't find the post you quoted but it seems to me that Lookout, as she doesn't know Jeremy, is talking about how SHE would feel when she says Jeremy would have been permanently on edge.

Well if he was permanently on edge as she implies that's probably why he needed to smoke
 so much weed; which obviously wasn't strong enough

Why does Lookout always bring the debate back round to her?

[lookout]

Laid back? What from smoking so much weed?

Not half as bad as what the cocaine did to Sheila. You're forgetting about weight difference between a male and a female. Drinking alcohol has the same effect on women as their assimilation of it is different.

[Stephanie]

He used to help his mother when she was baking--------no mention of Sheila joining in. Nor was there any mention of Jeremy being scared witless as June read Bible passages to Sheila who'd be left with nightmares.
He didn't get anyone into trouble,as in pregnant.

Jeremy said he didn't like his mother

No we're not forgetting anything Lookout - you're just squirming again!

[lookout]

Jeremy said he didn't like his mother

Who said ?

[Caroline]

Who said ?

Jeremy

[Jane]

Who said ?

JEREMY!!!

I haven't forgotten about the weight differences, YOU HAVE! Sheila was far too frail to fight with her father.
