  82. OUT NOW IN PAPERBACK

Once everyone had their papers, Cole continued.

‘This, Mr Price, is the complete print out of visits to Terry Colliver during his imprisonment for these offences in Wormwood Scrubs. Will we find your name on here if we look very carefully?’

‘Not once. I never visited him. He’s not my mate.’

‘Well the first part’s right, at least.’ Cole seemed unfazed. ‘You’re not on there at all. But let’s look at one of the names that we do see. Jane Gorr. Recognise that name, Mr Price?’

‘Why?’

‘Do you recognise the name, Mr Price?’

No response. Price just glared at Cole.

‘OK, then. Let’s put it another way. Is Jane Gorr the name of your partner, Mr Price?’

No response.

‘Is Jane Gorr the name of the woman with whom you live, Mr Price?’

No response.

‘Is Jane Gorr the name of the mother of your two children, Mr Price?’

No response.

Cole held up a bundle of papers.

‘In my hand, Mr Price, are several of your housing benefit applications that list Jane Gorr as being your co-habitant, your partner and the mother of your children. I also have a copy of your children’s birth certificates, listing you as father and Jane Gorr as mother. Do you need to see them to answer my question, Mr Price?’

‘Yes.’ Price’s voice was so low it was almost inaudible. ‘Jane’s my missus.’

‘Is she friends with Terry Colliver?’

‘I . . . I don’t know.’

‘Well, she certainly seems to be, doesn’t she, Mr Price. Because if we look at the list of visits to Terry Colliver, Jane Gorr visits him once in January, and then five times between February 18th and February 28th. The last visit being the day before you made your statement. With that in mind, can we assume that Jane Gorr – your partner – was friends with Terry Colliver?’

‘I . . . I . . . well, yeah, I . . . I guess we can.’

‘You guess we can? Your girlfriend is visiting another man in prison six times in two months and that’s all you can say? You don’t seem very surprised.’

‘Comment, Mr Cole.’ Levitt intervened before Epstein could rise.

‘I’ll put it another way, My Lord.’ Cole turned back to Price. ‘Are you not surprised to discover that your girlfriend – your common-law wife, if there were such a thing – was visiting another man in prison?’

‘Well . . . yeah . . . I . . . erm . . .’

‘Oh come on, Mr Price. Put your back into it. If you’re going to tell us a pack of lies at least make some effort.’

‘Mr Cole!’

‘Sorry, My Lord,’ Cole acknowledged Levitt’s reprimand before turning back to Price. ‘You’re not surprised at all, are you Mr Price?’

‘I . . . erm . . .’

‘You’re not surprised at all because Jane Gorr was in Wormwood Scrubs on your behalf, wasn’t she?’

‘She wasn’t.’

‘Visiting your friend.’
