But wasn't Jeremy Bamber the instigator of two of those ? If she had never met him which other woman might have become part of his burgling and drug dealing plans ?
From what I understand her step-father wasn't present at the trial; why would Julie want him there if what she claimed was true. She was supported only by her mother and Stan Jones of course.
I'm pretty sure JB was the instigator of the OCP break-in/burglary. JM seemed quite keen to sell the cannabis around campus eg according to SB's wit stat JM visited a bank for the sole purpose of acquiring some coin plastic money bags to package and distribute the cannabis in. JB was not involved in the cheque book fraud so to my mind this demonstrates that JM was more than capable of getting involved in petty crime without any encouragement from JB. It could be argued that had JB been with say Suzette Ford or Anji Greaves, or indeed most other women from a similar background, they might well have curtailed the OCP break-in and/or selling cannabis for profit. I for one would not have taken part in the OCP break-in and I very much doubt any of my friends would have done. I've no problem with cannabis users for own use. I'm not sure where the law currently stands on cannabis for own use.
In any event to my mind it shows the pair as being dishonest and untrustworthy. It is in no way indicative of JB being capable of murder but could be indicative of JM being an unreliable prosecution witness ie her ability to tell the truth.
Re JM's claims about her step-father, anonymous rapist and JB murdering his family we only have her word for this.
Does anyone know what happened to JM's birth father? I read JM's mother remarried but no idea whether she was widowed or her first marriage was dissolved? If the latter I wonder where JM's birth father was during the trial?
