Hah.... But... CJ is a very, very, knowledgeable person. He KNOWS that including such an 'admission' will create controversy, which will in turn generate publicity, which will in turn, lead to a considerable increase in demand for his book.

He is also, however, a very, very intelligent person, and his exact wording of his 'revelation' will have been dictated by the possibilities and probabilities of any possible legal ramifications - thus the actual 'vagueness' of his little story.

Methinks, tis all a carefully plotted piece of fiction with book sales in mind.

I concur Mr Lancaster. It sounds like a little piece of semi-fictional brag drama to me. Perhaps he once punched a mugger who came at him with a knife, and has added the rest for flair (knowing full well that the mugger did not die).

yes, i tend to agree, otherwise it just doesn't make a lot of sense. The dutch have to at least go through the motions of investigation otherwise they are not doing their job, but I would laugh my head off, if they pinned something on him and locked him up for 30 years.

I was thinking that there's probably bodies pulled out of that river fairly frequently so they'll have to question him and examine those cases again to see if there's anything to it. But almost certainly he'll just tell them that it was something he made up for the book and it'll come to nothing.
