And only a mad/insane person would create a carnage such as was found. Was JB the mad /insane one ?
The answer is NO !
Not enough background questions were ever asked of the relatives. Their own business and financial backgrounds,etc. Neither did they ask any questions except about their lines of inheritance.
From the word go JB was vilified without question.
Jane,it cuts no ice with me that you've made a veiled attempt to try and cover up the fact that both women were found on the bed instead of admitting that the bodies had been moved. I like a straight person,not one who says something because it sounds more acceptable,but one who speaks the truth because I'm immediately on my guard from someone who paints a different picture------it's not the truth,which then makes you wonder how much of what they say or tell you is going to be the truth.
No matter how bad something is,or sounds,it's far better to give a straight and honest account than " add sugar " to it. My trust would well and truly have fizzled at that point. It's no better than the media creating sensationalism through their fabrications of a situation.
It wasn't " kind " to have described how/where everyone died. It was a downright lie told by someone whose brain was distorted and whose goal it had been to have the relatives on his side. What a crafty and cunning trick SJ had played !!
Lookout, your first two paragraphs have absolutely nothing to do with the point I was trying to make, ie what was the best way of describing, to relatives, the crime scene.
As usual, you're making this about you, but surely, by now, you must understand that you come across as being rather different from others -in fact, you pride yourself in so being. You're taking the view that there was a deliberate attempt to hide that bodies may have been moved, whereas I see it as temporarily concealing a truth which may have been too difficult to take at that time. Something, I feel, MOST would be grateful for -we don't give a 4yr old a full breakdown of how conception occurs. We tell them what they can accept at that stage- because most aren't immediately as suspicious of others as you claim to be. I honestly can't see any harm being done by softening a blow, and I can't see that so doing would have made any adverse difference.
I don't believe -unless there is evidence of him having done similar on previous occasions- there was any 'monster' who deliberately deceived relatives in order to get them 'on side'. I see him as a man who acted with compassion towards people who probably could barely take on board what had befallen their family.
