So Holly has declined to answer any of my last few posts on this thread. That’s fine, I understand why. I’d just like to address the suggestion of police collusion, cover up and conspiracy to get Jeremy banged up for a crime he didn’t commit. After the court case and verdict Essex police came in for massive criticism and ridicule for their handling of the case, which they would not have done nearly as much if a verdict of not guilty had been reached, indeed they would have avoided any criticism at all if they had steadfastly stuck to their guns from the get go and done their best to cover up any suggestion of Jeremy’s involvement. So quite what was the motivation for them pursuing JB so hard when it only served to shine a light on what a cock-up the initial investigation had been? Rhetorical question and obviously not expecting Holly or any other supporter to respond.
Oh, I thought Holly would have responded by now...
Another thought; if the police wanted to stitch him up why didn’t they on day one? Why leave it so long?
I believe DCI Taff Jones was the major obstacle in preventing the police pursuing Jeremy sooner. He was a hysterical bully and threatened ANY officer with the sack if they didn’t agree with him. But nearly ALL those police were suspicious of JB from the very start, even outside WHF on the night, and when DS Jones asked Taff not to destroy evidence and to preserve the crime scene he went nuts! He clearly had an emotional disturbance, and as his behaviour was so erratic rumours started that they thought he may have a brain tumour — so he was the one who cocked up, not the police.
He seemed so determined to frame Sheila anyone would think he and Jeremy were in cahoots! I know that’s virtually impossible, but why WAS he so determined to blame Sheila? Maybe he wanted an open and shut case to make himself look efficient and further his own career...
Whatever, the police were suspicious BEFORE Julie confessed, so how anyone can say they set out to stitch Jeremy up is utter nonsense. Especially as you say, VS, by admitting their initial mistake (caused by Taff) they faced humiliation, demotions, and ridicule...so if they didn’t know for certain JB was the killer they’d NEVER have charged him because had he got off they’d have looked even worse & probably would’ve lost their jobs.
