Say what you like about me, but I will beat a joke to death.

Jeremy Scott was born in April 1969 to a 15-year-old girl who was not at all keen on being a mum.

Leo Schofield – Part 2: The Wrong Man | #450

She had her own challenges at the time, mainly with drugs, and soon after Jeremy was born, she bailed, leaving him with her parents.

And life for Jeremy was about as rough as it gets for a child.

When he was a toddler, Jeremy Scott was run over by a car, which left him with brain damage.

And then, because you all know what's coming next, his uncle began sexually abusing him.

Jeremy was then passed from relative to relative, all while suffering more neglect and more abuse.

Eventually, he ended up in foster care, and in 1980, at the age of just 11, he was already in trouble with the police.

And after that, he was basically just in and out of juvie.

While no prints were recovered on a gun found at the crime scene, there were some on a coin wrapper and a pair of Jewel's glasses.

And they were a match for her teenage lodger.

Jeremy was arrested and put on trial for murder, but there wasn't actually that much evidence against him.

Leo Schofield – Part 2: The Wrong Man | #450

In court, he admitted to stealing the coins, which explained the prints, but he accused Smokey Johnson, Jewel's son, of killing her.

And even though Smokey had a rock-solid alibi of being at work surrounded by colleagues, Jeremy Scott was acquitted.

Obviously, at the time of Michelle's murder, Jeremy Scott wasn't on anyone's radar.

RedHanded

Because he'd only just got there and the prints in the orange Mazda weren't traced back to him.

The next we hear of Jeremy Scott is the following year, November 1988.

It was then that Jeremy Scott and a friend of his, Brian Hall, went to the trailer of a man named Donald Moorhead.
