It was now almost a year since Joanna’s death, her body had been cremated, and two earlier dates Lee had predicted for her resurrection had passed uneventfully. Nevertheless, Lee likened himself to the great Biblical prophets whose faith had been tested. The devil, he said, killed Joanna. This seemed only to confirm Perkins’ statements to the jury that Lee had lost touched with reality.<br /><br /><br />[36] Detective Sergeant Hooper was called to the address by Sergeant McPhee. Mr Lee told him that Joanna was not dead and that she was in fact going to come back to life and asked if he wanted to see a video. The video was played and Mr Lee pointed out that Joanna’s skin was peeling away in one part and was a pinky colour underneath which meant that she was regenerating. He also said that her fingers were moving, but Sergeant Hooper noticed that another person had hold of Joanna’s hands and was moving her finger. In the Sergeant’s view, Joanna had been dead for some time at the time the video was filmed.<br /><br />depressing is certainly right..Philiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11168147692934945408noreply@blogger.com
