The Noble Cause Framing Theory

[grahameb]

As executor of the will, all assets were under his authority. The rings can be seen as assets and it 'could' be argued that that's all Basil was doing.

But who's got the ring?

[Caroline]

If that were here, it would have taken jeremy´s consent - had Jeremy signed over to Cook (heh, think I called him something naughty!) that he had the authority to make all decisions and even go agains an expressed wish of the next of kin - without even informing him?
This is really a legal question. Did Cook have the right to go against Jeremy´s expressed wish in this matter?

No you didn't Alias, that was his name!! It's not 'Cook' 

To be honest, I don't know but the rings 'could be seen as assets. Perhaps NGB will answer the question?

My pretty :D :D :D

I have looked for Colin´s book on Amazon, but it is quite expensive! The only page I have read is the one Caroline posted, and that made me lose a lot of faith in his general mindset and judgement!

I'll have a look and see what he means by 'bad thing'

Hi Alias,

I know what he is referring to - when Colin writes about the party and Jeremy's arrival at the door, he talks about feeling strange and when he saw Jeremy's 'silhouetted figure' he claims to have felt a shudder. Colin is one of those people who believe in mediums and tarot stuff - bit of a hippy type.

Hahaha, allrighty then! I can be naughty again and have no qualms!

That's why I usually just refer to him as BC

I am disappointed in him. I always liked the look of him, but this is ridiculous!
So many people have spoken warmly about his book, but that must be out of sympathy for what he went through!

Well, obviously I feel a great deal of sympathy for what he went through and he will no doubt still be haunted by it but I wasn't impressed with his book. He is very into the paranormal and talks about it as though t should be an everyday accepted science. But it is interesting to hear his version of events as an outsider from the family.

My God, he could have terrified Sheila if he started telling her about shadows and predictions.

It also occurs to me to wonder what sort of alternative therapies he had in mind for Sheila and if they included mind altering substances.

Maybe it wasn´t only June who messed with Sheila´s mind. Not saying he did anything on purpose, but his "beliefs" can´t exactly have helped her!

[lookout]

 I'm convinced that Sheila suffered from the illness known today as Puerperal Psychosis,,,and I wouldn't be surprised if that condition comes up during the processing of documents/files once they've been submitted to the CCRC.

Didn't Colin feel that Jeremy looked sinister as he had dyed his hair jet black? I will have to have a look in the book.

No Tyler, he hadn't opened the door, it was just his silhouette. Jeremy (according to Julie) dyed his black hair the following day.
