It's confusing when you invert the colours of the image metic. The girl with the arrow is not Jane. She is the girl in the long skirt who is part of the group of three that are trying to hail a cab. Jane is circled in red.
I've written that Jane is obstructed in the image, you can just see her move and bend towards the car in the video, but can't see her in this actual still frame.
I included those blurring images more for the point of looking at the time stamp to try to decide if it was 00.03 or 00.08. Three or eight minutes past midnight?
Three patrons look to hail a taxi. Yellow arrow pointing a guy with arm out. Headlight shine on them and Jane in the background circled in red. Note girl in long skirt in the group of three. Second image added for timestamp. Source:You tube Flect cctv Jane Rimmer
In this image Jane is circled in red next to pole and three patrons have moved to road to get in taxi. ONe of them is bending over in this image I think. They move back to the footpath where the girl in the long skirt is pointed out in the yellow arrow.
No one got in the car, that everyone is talking about. Presumably it might not of been a taxi at all, but someone pulling up in the rank to drop a mate off. The girl in the long skirt may of simply been telling them off for pulling into the taxi rank, thinking they were going to park there. Rather than argue the toss, the driver may of simply moved up the road to drop off his mate, who then appears in the CCTV. Jane recognises him from just before and she cracks a joke about what just happened with the angry drunk Sheila, and at that MM mentions that his mate would give her a lift if she wants, as a joke, and goes inside.
Was the accused, the driver and MM, the passenger?
Here's a possible scenario between the accused and MM.
Years later when the CCTV is released MM asks his mate if that was the time that he dropped him off at the Pub and that angry chick told them off?
Mate replies, "no mate, that ain't you, and it was a Friday not Saturday (lie to confuse the day), cause we came from the speedway remember."
"You sure?" MM asks his mate. "Did that other Sheila approach you for a lift?
Mate replies, "of course not, I was long gone (lie?)."
MM says, "dunno, maybe I should go to the police and see the video."
Mate replies with "you want to end up like Lance Williams? your old man has a business and is a well known identity, you want you and your family hounded like that Williams bloke?"
MM replies "Nuh, let's forget I said anything to you."
