Once the police went round telling potential prosecution witnesses that there was no evidence to support a phone call from Nevill to Jeremy, some prosecution witnesses faced a stark choice. Cooperate with bending the evidence to enable Jeremy to be prosecuted or let a murderer off the hook.
Tell lies or a murderer will get off the hook.
Sad thing is, there was no evidence to support a call hadn't taken place. It was inconclusive.
Now if the police had went round telling potential prosecution witnesses that there was no evidence to support a call either had
or hadn't taken place, that places an element of doubt regarding whether Jeremy is lying about the call. A totally different complexion on the things.
With regards to JM, I think it was sink or swim and the strong tide was being directed by the police / relatives. She chose to swim with the tide and that's that.
