Jeremy Bamber's former pal Brett Collins breaks his silence after 35 years.

[Holly Goodhead]

'they' don't change their mind like the weather in my experience. They change their mind just the once.

And it's always one way traffic from Sheila to Bamber. You can't convince people to accept the lie again once they come to know the truth

Of course they do when convictions are over turned on solid grounds. 

[Holly Goodhead]

Especially as they were such good friends - not easy to admit that your besty just killed 5 people including two 6 years olds and you've been hanging around with him. Bound to be a bit on the defensive - but after his return to NZ, he said nothing, even after the trial.

Prior to BC turning up in 1985 what contact did the pair have from the time JB first met and left NZ in 1982?

Which won't happen here as the conviction is solid and there are no grounds for appeal

Steve seriously how can you possibly know what is going on behind the scenes?

The Ct and his solicitor seem to be working hand in had this time (or it appears so); everything they are promoting as seems to be all the old claims which Simon McKay didn't use. You know yourself that such claims are without substance. If they had something, they would have used it to deflect all this bad publicity and not begged ITV not to show the drama - that was a bad move.

No idea I'm not part of the 'Campaign Team'.  I declined the offer to join years ago.

It seems to much of what it bangs on about has already been rejected by CCRC.  And I haven't seen or heard anything capable of withstanding scrutiny. And if they had it in the bag why go on about non-disclosure.

I'm part of the 'A' team

That ITV thingy is ghastly.  What a cock up.

Well you would have to ask him that but they were certainly close post murders.

Don't watch it then.

Were they?  I think it was a coincidence BC turned up when he did thereafter he assisted JB with the practicalities.

Close enough.

[steve_trousers]

He may well have just happened to be in the UK that summer but I think it's fair to say they were close.
They went abroad together at least twice including that trip to St Tropez with all those shared experiences a holiday brings, and police had suspicion enough to arrest Brett too at Dover port on their return.

He provides some interesting details and comes across well. Certainly, this is a terrible psychological blow for the campaign. A close ally of the day who has held his counsel for 35 years (apart from 1 questionable reference) resurfaces stating he believes Jeremy was guilty almost from the beginning.

I agree!
