To be honest, the impression I got when I first got to know J was that he was a bit slow intellectually. If he'd have been 'that' clever, he would have pushed the 'sighting of the figure' at the upstairs bedroom window, all the way right from the off, as being evidence that someone was still alive inside the farmhouse after cops and J arrived just before 4am. I don't buy into the argument that J couldn't rely on 'that' sighting otherwise it would supposedly play right into the prosecutions hands, because Julie Mugford told the cops and court that J had hired a hitman and paid that person £2000 to do it - £400 per victim. I mean, who is going to kill five people for £400 per life? In any event, by the time the case came to court at Chelmsford Crown court in October, 1986, it was 'no longer' the prosecutions case that J had hired anybody at all to kill anybody. They were claiming that he acted alone, that he got into and out of the farmhouse via an insecure ground floor window. That he fought with his father in the kitchen, and that he had used a silencer fitted to the gun, removed it after killing his sister, and that he had 'hidden it' inside a box in the cupboard tucked away in 'the corner of the den'. So, if J had been as sharp as cops were making him out to be, he would have sought to rely on the sighting of the figure that there had been at least one adult alive in the upstairs bedrooms. He could have claimed it was his dad, but he didn't. He could have claimed it was his mum, or his sister, but he didn't. And the reason he didn't was because he wasn't sure who the figure had been...
