Involved with the Taylor
sisters
If my brother Paul hadn't been charged with wounding and
assault I woudn't have become involved with the Taylor
sisters. Paul had fallen out with a friend, and it had
resulted in violence. He'd been remanded in custody to
Belmarsh Prison in south-east London after police told
magistrates they feared he might try to interfere with
witnesses.

Medium-hard beating
One day Fatman told me that, as the result of a neighbours'
dispute, one of the neighbours wanted the other 'taught
some manners'. I asked him what exactly was required.
Fatman said I needed to inflict a medium-hard beating
that would require the victim to seek hospital treatment,
without necessitating a lengthy stay on the wards.

Window of opportunity
If I'd known how the campaign to free the sisters was
going to take over my life I think I'd have just signed
the petition and left it at that. Instead, only ten days
after the sisters had been sentenced, I found myself in
the back seat of Michelle's white Ford Sierra Estate outside
a pub near her former workplace, the Churchill Clinic.
Del was driving and Uncle Norman was in the front passenger
seat. I'd brought along a video camera to film the journey
from the murder scene back to the clinic to prove the
inaccuracy of the police timings. The prosecution's case
had depended upon a so-called 23-minute 'window of opportunity'
in which the sisters had murdered Alison and returned
to the clinic.

Michelle had murdered
Alison
In the morning we got up together. Michelle said she had
to go somewhere - I can't remember where. I stayed behind
to do more work on the book. Michelle's behaviour had
at least had the effect of making me very diligent in
my work on the book: I knew that the sooner I finished
it the sooner I'd be free of the trap I'd helped fashion
for myself.

Michelle had butchered
an innocent girl
John Shaughnessy had not made Michelle kill Alison, nor
could his behaviour towards her, however distasteful,
justify her committing that crime. The only truth in her
ramblings was that her murder of Alison, and her subsequent
admission of her guilt to me, had pushed me away and hurt
me.
She finished the letter by saying that she didn't know
what else to say and that she wished she had the power
to right all the wrong because she truly didn't want to
lose me. It was sick and it made me feel sick. How could
Michelle right all the wrong? Alison was dead. No one
could right that wrong.
