Jeremy Bamber changes his story about the timing of the call to Julie

[goatboy]

I had another look at Julie's statement and still think that it makes more sense that her version of events would be true than that it would be made up. The detail is incredible. I cannot imagine someone would have made it all up and risk perjuring themselves in a high profile court case, just to get back at an ex?

What you say is very true goatboy.  Detectives and especially one with the experience that Stan Jones had would see through any lies immediately.  What speaks volumes is that Julie cooperated with police while Jeremy prevaricated and did all he could to thwart detectives interviewing him.  I for one know who I would believe.

although i find Julies statement more believeable than Jeremys i cant helping thinking it was 'managed' somewhat.

That's probably true, however it probably is no more "managed" than most prosecution witness statements are, I imagine this is pretty routine. A prosecution witness statement has to be good and compelling to ensure a conviction.

Witness statements aren't relied on in court unless there are special reasons as it is the witnesses testimony which counts.

The whole episode just doesn't ring true Shona.  When jeremy telephoned the police there was no urgency, no panic and even after the operator put him on hold for several minutes he did react like someone who needed police help immediately in a life or death situation.  This has been mentioned by several others before in the past and I agree, if it was such an emergency why didn't he phone 999?

John, it still amazes me how much proof people need.
Sheila  couldn't have shot herself the second time (Even Mike admits this now) - you'd think that would be the case closed. But no.

They need even more proof that Bamber did it.

He will change what is left of his mind again.

Most of them do know JB did it but cannot face the fact they have wasted years of their lives supporting a child killer.

Unless he can prove that Sheila's body was on the bed (which he CAN'T) he will continue to look like a total knobber.

And SOMEONE ( ) should google "witness"!!
