could rwb have been psycic.

That's the assumption being made - no evidence of it though.

I know it is but Colchester is not short of solicitors so I find it hard to belive that mugford picked that one purely by coincidence.

I understood it to have been Mary Mugford who picked a solicitor on her daughter's behalf.

by why did she pic that solicter had she used him before or did somone recommend him.

[lookout]

What has been recorded in the past is that it was through Ainsley telling RWB of what JM's statements consisted of ( as Ainsley kept RWB constantly informed ) is the reason that the case did an about-turn and RWB requested a new investigation into the five deceased. His request was granted--------on the strength of JM's statements.

Someone might have recommended him but it doesn't mean it was RWB. His being a solicitor wasn't a secret and he may have had a good reputation. And even if RWB DID recommend him, it was AFTER Jeremy was arrested and not really unusual for those involved to have 'some' communication.

Damn funny they should use the same firm of solicitors !!

That can't be right, Julie gave her statements after Jeremy became a suspect - he was arrested the day AFTER she made her first one.

Not really.

I was being sarcastic.  As I am here:

So it's gone from not looking good and probable collusion, to mere coincidence, before you can say Bob's your uncle.  I can see now why no circumstance equates to JB being innocent.

as promised from PM:

Wasn't it the 7th of September that JM went to the police ? Wasn't it the 6th ( day before ) of September that RWB visited Simpson to request a new investigation ? Coincidence or what ?

Possibly she closed her eyes and picked one randomly, using a pin.

[lookout]

Makes a change from tossing a coin in court----SC or JB. They may just as well have.

It's possible that it was the "go to" firm of solicitors in Colchester at that time. If so, why on earth would one choose one felt to be second best?

Oh yeah

Why so strange? Of couurrrse! It doesn't fit with what you'd like to think occurred, but it's not unheard of for certain companies, within an area, to gain a reputation for giving good service -the service provided being irrelevant- I see no reason to think this was not the case. I understand you'd prefer it not to be so.
