I must admit: whenever my finger hovers over the imaginary 'Not Guilty' button, I always hesitate and think of the scale of the lie that would be necessary on Julie's part.  I have tried to reconcile her story with Jeremy's: from the innocence side, by speculating that Jeremy was just winding her up; and, from the guilty side, by postulating that she was an accomplice (albeit not present) on the basis of alleged facts and she then turned against Jeremy in a grand prisoner's dilemma.
"If the accusation is not proved beyond reasonable doubt against the man accused in the dock, then by law he is entitled to be acquitted, because that is the way our rules work.  It is no concession to give him the benefit of the doubt. He is entitled by law to a verdict of Not Guilty." - R v Adams
