The must have been an 'inevitable delay' between the shots sustained by Sheila..

H. I couldn't agree more. Lookout's last three posts show little understanding of the human 'condition'. Her support for Jeremy's behaviour shows as much empathy as does he.

Rubbish--------it's your total misunderstanding of psychology. You only think you know !!

Empathy and all the other emotions that go with it were not present at a time when he was being questioned as a suspect. Would it be that way with anyone ? I doubt it. His concentration would be fixed on the fact that he hadn't murdered his family and he was trying to put this over in the only way he could as a 24 year old who knew little about life in general and what it could throw at you.

If he'd been silent and head bowed with the hankie at the ready,then to my mind he'd have been guilty.
Many men/women show bravado until interrogated------and then the tears let them down.
JB was standing firm,head up looking straight at his questionaire and nobody liked that .

Lookout, empathy/understanding is something one either has or not. It's not something one chooses to have. You keep trying to put him across as a helpless, naive child. He was FULLY aware. HAD he shown any sympathy -NOT empathy, quite different- he may have had more of a chance of being believed.

Well, I certainly wouldn't have gained ANY qualifications with what you think you know. You can't even tell that you're whole presentation is xxxx x xxxxxxxxxx xx xxxx xxxxxxxx.

I seem to recall that Grahame used to say that although he thought JB was innocent, he didn't like him very much. Which was quite an honest and transparent view I thought.

That's fair comment, H. SOME posters seem to have a mistaken belief that understanding is condoning.

There are no hard and fast rules how someone should behave after a death/s.Everyone happens to be different,with different emotions. For JB,there was too much going on so soon after that it amazes me how he kept himself together. Then again,you CAN do this when telling the truth.
