My issue with James Richards is that he was supposed to be a witness for the prosecution, and maybe I am being old-fashioned, but I think at least in public he should be careful to ensure he is presented in that way, not as a 'friend of Julie Mugford'.  I appreciate he shared digs with her, or something like that, but if he is a friend of Julie Mugford, then that makes him look partisan, and implies he is her spokesman and that his involvement in the documentary is to stick up for her.  To me, there is just something about it that doesn't sit right.

Barbara Wilson's evidence seemed pointless, or was it?

She did report her telephone conversation with Nevill.
