Packer and Schwartz

[Paddy]

Inquest

I've been reading about Coroners and think its probable that Schwartz's written evidence was given but the Coroner chose not to call him, possibly at request of police....However if there was a chance of arresting someone the Coroner would probably have postponed the inquest, so an arrest was not on the cards at that time.

My own personal take on it is that the Schwartz statement was surpressed as it involved a sighting of pipeman, who I think could have been undercover.

Hi Abby,
Is your reassessment of Schwartz's testimony as a result of reading "They All Love Jack" by Bruce Robinson?

I am at the part of the book where he dismisses Schwatrz as a reliable witness and puts forward a case for accepting the evidence of Matthew Packer that he sold grapes to Stride and a man.

NO!!
its because of this thread and what the posters have posted!

Yeah he'd been on the Camberwell Carrot

I am reliably informed that as a youth he used to weep in butchers shops,

Hi all
I would be remiss if I didn't say that this thread and the posts on here has made me change my mind slightly on Schwartz. I now think there is a modicum of possibility that he may not be credible, whereas before I thought there was no chance to question his credibility. I didn't know about the second star report that the police questioned his story so thank you Johng, Lynne and wicker for pointing it out.

It would be nice to know why they might not have believed him and why he wasn't at the inquest.

Does anyone know why he wasn't there?

I think Stewart Evans once said why, but I cant remember.
