It seems that McKay's approach to boost his own reputation try to free Bamber is to look at any aspect of the case and twist it in any possible way to get himself on the Legal Aid gravy train!
Now Nelly the spare barrister discloses even more accusations of police corruption, collusion and lies. We find that Julie was actually arrested and forced to lie about Bamber being a child murderer! I think the Oscar should go to Mckay for Best Work Of Fiction rather than Mugford for Best Actress!
A lot about this has come to light recently. It is an aspect of the case which is likely to form one of the major grounds of appeal if the case is referred to the Court of Appeal. In essence what the defence now are confident they can prove is that Julie Mugford did not go to the police voluntarily. She was in fact arrested and interviewed under caution at length. She was put under intense pressure, not just in connection with the cheque frauds, drug importation and supplying and burglary, but as an accessory to murder. She was faced with the real prospect of being charged with murder but was offered a way out in the form of total immunity from prosecution provided that she gave evidence against Jeremy. She was trapped. The rest is history.
The jury were presented with a false account of the circumstances surrounding Julie Mugford "coming forward".
Twist and Shout!
