I use to go to New Westminster Quay all the time. When you read stuff like the article below that says she met with Sandra MacDonald there for lunch and they bloody well talked about all this craziness, do you wonder if maybe you were there?! Over heard a bit of it..? What if you were their waiter and heard some of it?
We've all been on the skytrain or bus or even sitting in a restaurant and heard a bit of a conversation that we thought "WTF?! Did I just hear that?!" When do we know to act on it and when do we just file it away as that bit of crazy that happened today?
What if you unknowingly heard bits of the conversation Jean Ann James was having with Sandra MacDonald that same day they had lunch at New Westminster Quay? Or you saw Jean Ann James walking back to her car, five blocks from the murder and thought nothing of it. Suppose you were a teacher at the school where she took the clothing and incinerated it, and saw her walking with the garbage bag past your door, but at the time that didn't seem odd.
Somebody reading this knows more than they realize. Or maybe you do realize. You have an interest in this story for a reason, why? Did you know one of these people? Did you work with one of them? Were you friends or acquaintances? Did you hear or see something that made you wonder all these years?
What if some part of your life, is unknowingly entwined with this story.
We all hear things and see things daily that could be helpful years or decades later in murder trials like this. But where do we draw the line of suspecting everyone around us of being "up to something".
Trust your gut, I say.

Only good that came from the police surveillance was that Derek was behaving himself

Former friend testifies accused murderer Jean Ann James ‘very angry’ with husband
A former friend of Jean Ann James says the accused murderer was “very angry and upset” about her husband’s affair with murder victim Gladys Wakabayashi.
James, 72, has pleaded not guilty to the first-degree murder of Wakabayashi, 41, in June 1992 in Vancouver.
It’s the Crown’s theory that James slit the throat of Wakabayashi, the daughter of a Taiwanese billionaire, after she learned of the affair.
Sandra MacDonald, a friend of James, told a B.C. Supreme Court jury in Vancouver that she occasionally met James for lunch meetings.
Under questioning from Crown counsel Kerr Clark, MacDonald said James quite often brought up the subject of her troubled marriage to Derek James.
“It was very stormy,” MacDonald said of the marriage. “He had been having affairs and she was very hurt and very angry about his behaviour.”
Asked by Clark whether there were any particular people mentioned by James, MacDonald said that the accused mentioned a woman named Gladys.
“She said Gladys was a friend of hers as well as Derek and that he had had an affair with her,” said the Crown witness during testimony Thursday.
“What was her demeanor,” asked Clark.
“She was very angry and upset,” replied MacDonald.
The witness said that at some point she received a visit from detectives who said they were investigating a murder and wanted to know if she knew James.
A short time later, maybe a week, she received a phone call from James asking whether she’d been contacted by homicide detectives, said MacDonald.
James told her that she was involved as a murder suspect and that the police had been “making her life hell” and had been following her and talking to her family.
“She wanted to give me a heads up that they may be calling,” said MacDonald.
“What was your response,” said Clark.
“I was quite taken aback,” said MacDonald. “I believe we didn’t want to get into too much over the phone, so we did arrange to meet after that call.”
MacDonald said that she subsequently met with James for lunch at the New Westminster quay.
“She told me she’d been accused of the murder of Gladys, her friend, and that Derek had had an affair with her, how awful her life had been, that police had been following her.”
MacDonald said James told her that the only good that came from the police surveillance was that Derek was behaving himself.
MacDonald explained that she met James, a former nurse and flight attendant union executive, through a mutual friend and knew her for several years.
“She was always very well dressed, very well put together whenever I met her.”
Under cross-examination from James’ lawyer, Raj Basra, MacDonald admitted she didn’t recall the date of the lunch where the murder investigation was discussed.
She also conceded that she had not taken any handwritten notes of the meeting.
Basra suggested that James actually told MacDonald that other people had told James that her husband was having an affair with Gladys.
“No, she definitely told me herself he was having an affair with Gladys,” replied MacDonald.
On Wednesday, the Crown played a videotaped confession to the murder made by James following a year-long undercover police operation in 2008. James had been a suspect during the initial police investigation but no charges were laid at that time, court heard.

My Thoughts on the Latest
Quoted from the article in the Province online article below...
Where are the other women? Still alive?! If they are I bet they have been (a) cursing their luck that they got involved with Derek James, (b) counting their lucky stars Jean had no presents for them and (c) watching their backs for years!
I wonder how Derek has suffered at the hands of his wife, Jean Ann James, because of his unfaithfulness?
BTW - Aseem Dosanjh, lawyer for the accused, is the son of Ujjal Dosanjh.
In matter-of-fact tones, James explains that she did a lot of digging and found out that Wakabayashi was “screwing around” with her husband Derek, an air-traffic controller who had been unfaithful to her numerous times.

Video depicts scorned Jean Ann James describing grisly murder to undercover cop
A jury was shown a video of a Richmond senior calmly describing how she used box cutters to slit the throat of a friend she believed was having an affair with her husband.
The video was taken at the end of a year-long police sting aimed at wringing a confession out of Jean Ann James, 72, who has pleaded not guilty to the first-degree murder of Gladys Wakabayashi, 41.
Wakabayashi, the daughter of a Taiwanese billionaire, was murdered in her home in Vancouver’s posh Shaughnessy neighbourhood in June 1992 but no charges were initially laid in the case.
Nearly 16 years later, police re-opened the file and launched a so-called Mr. Big undercover operation targetting James, who was initially a suspect in the murder.
At the end of the year-long operation, at a hotel room in Quebec in November 2008, James can be heard being wooed by an undercover RCMP officer posing as a crime boss.
The scenario has James being offered a chance to participate in an unspecified crime with a reward of $700,000 to be split among the participants.
But first James, who had earlier assured the undercover cops that she had no conscience and was willing to do anything, is told by the crime boss that she must come clean about the Wakabayashi murder.
In matter-of-fact tones, James explains that she did a lot of digging and found out that Wakabayashi was “screwing around” with her husband Derek, an air-traffic controller who had been unfaithful to her numerous times.
“That was just one time when I wasn’t going to put up with this nonsense anymore. I did something about it,” said James.
“You kill her or you got somebody else to do it?” asks the cop, who cannot be identified due to a publication ban.
“This is strictly between you and I?” says James.
“I’m never going to talk about it,” says the cop.
“I have never told anybody,” says James.
“Well, that’s smart,” says the cop.
“I just went around to her and confronted her about it and she lied to me ... She just started laughing in my face and I just got furious and I did it.”
“What did you do to her?” asks the cop.
“I slit her throat,” said James.
The cop presses James to tell him whether she in fact committed the grisly crime on her own.
“There’s no one else,” replied James. “I’ve never told anyone else. I’ve always denied it.”
Elaborating on the crime, James says she initially tried to get some information about the infidelity from Wakabayashi by cutting her on the legs with a box cutter, before slitting her throat.
“I said (to her) that if you tell the truth, I’ll call the ambulance, which of course I had no intention of doing.”
Asked by the cop what she did with the murder weapon, James says she took it to the other side of town and threw it in a metal dumpster.
“And all the clothes that I had, there was an incinerator at the school and I threw them in there.”
James, who admitted she was “very sneaky,” described how she had parked her car five blocks away from the crime scene and walked to the Selkirk Street home.
She said she used gloves and “kept nothing” from the crime scene when she fled the home.
James reiterated to the undercover cop that she had never told her husband about the crime.
“He was upset, he was just beside himself, but I never said anything.”
Though police had her as a suspect, she said she’d been to the Wakabayashi home several days prior to the murder to visit her friend and that “my fingerprints were all over the house.”
“I didn’t like the police coming around, but I wasn’t shook up about it,” she said.
During his cross-examination of the undercover cop, James’ lawyer Aseem Dosanjh pointed to several inconsistencies in the evidence.
Spectators packed into the small Vancouver courtroom to hear the confession played for the B.C. Supreme Court jury.

Accused Killer Jean James Confessed to Undercover Cop
Jean Ann James looks like a typical 72-year-old Richmond senior, small in stature, well-dressed. She has a slight English accent.
But a video-taped “confession” has her admitting that she killed her husband’s mistress in 1992 and would be willing to kill again for a purported criminal organization that had promised her hundreds of thousands in earnings.
The secretly-recorded confession to an undercover cop posing as a crime boss was played in B.C. Supreme Court Wednesday.
She said she used brand-new boxcutters when she slashed Gladys Wakabayashi’s throat on June 24, 1992. She had purchased them for use at a school fund-raising event. She said she tricked Wakabayashi – her friend of five years – by telling her she had brought her a gift.
“I was very sneaky about it. She thought I was giving her a surprise. And we were upstairs. She was sitting in her closet. And I had this necklace. She had her back turned and I had gloves on,” James said.
Her lawyer Aseem Dosanjh suggested several of the things James said in the confession do not match evidence police found at the time. And he suggested she was lured by the undercover operator, who had a big burly ”body guard” who was very menacing when she met with the officer.

Accused killer describes murder to undercover officer in video-taped meeting
VANCOUVER -- Accused killer Jean James matter-of-factly described how she used box-cutters to slit the throat of Gladys Wakabayashi in a video-taped meeting with an undercover officer posing as a crime boss.
The tape of the November 27, 2008 meeting in a Montreal hotel room was played for jurors in B.C. Supreme Court Wednesday.
James, who was 69 at the time of the confession, told the officer that she was furious to learn in June 1992 that her friend was having an affair with her husband Derek James, an air traffic controller.
"I wasn't going to put up with this nonsense any more and I did something about it,"James told the officer, whose identity is shielded by a court order.
She said she went to Wakabayashi's westside Vancouver home on June 24, 1992 and confronted her.
"She lied to me. And I caught her because I checked," James said, referring to hotel records of her husband that showed he had called Wakabayashi's home.
"She said 'oh' and she started laughing in my face, and I just got furious and I just did it," James said. "I slit her throat."
The jurors have heard that at the time of the meeting, the Provincial Unsolved Homicide Unit had launched a new probe targeted James as the suspect in the case. They created an elaborate scheme where undercover police agents arranged chance meetings with James, became her confident and eventually got her to do low-level jobs for their purported crime ring.
At the time of the confession, James had indicated an interest in participating in a larger criminal endeavour that was to earn $700,000 for the ring.
The officer asked James how far she was willing to go, asked if she was an A to Z person, with Z meaning she could kill someone.
She said she could do so again if she had to.
"You are an A to Z person," the officer said after hearing the confession.
He asked James if she had left any evidence behind, including a knife.
"I didn't use a knife. I used boxcutters," James said.
The cop expressed surprise that boxcutters would do the job and James said the blade was similar to a surgeon's scalpel. But she agreed they wouldn't go through bone.
She assured the "crime boss" that she was very careful, parking her car some distance from Wakabayashi's house at 6868 Selkirk.
"I walked to her house. I parked my car about five blocks away and I went in and out of the alleyways I didn't go down the main street," she said.
James told the officer that Wakabayashi had split with her husband.
"She divorced her husband so she could screw around with mine," James said.
She told the officer she had a plan to kill Wakabayashi before she went to her house that day, but told her friend she had a new necklace for her.
"She had her back to me," James said, indicating how she pretended to place the necklace around Wakabayashi's throat, but cut it open instead.
"I had gloves on so there was no DNA, she said.
James also cut Wakabayashi's legs, she said, to illicit more information from her about the affair.
"I said if you tell me the truth, I'll call an ambulance which of course I had no intention of doing," James told the officer.
She said she knew Wakabayashi would bleed out "because I cut her along the jugular vein."
"I just left her. I never touched her," she said, describing the area in the victim's master suite where the body was lying.
Before the murder, the two friends had coffee, so on her way out James "washed the cups and wiped everything."
She told the officer that she had never told anyone what she had done, including her own husband.
"I never tell my husband my business," James said. "My mother always told me if you have secrets, keep them to yourself."
James' lawyer Aseem Dosanjh suggested to the officer that some of the details provided with James did not match up exactly with the circumstances of the crime.
On the tape she said she left Wakabayashi's bedroom without going anywhere else within it, yet there was a bloody front-print from a high heel found in the bathroom, Dosanjh noted.
And while James admitted to slitting Wakabayashi's throat and cutting her legs, she made no mention of another wound in the lower chest area, Dosanjh said. The officer agreed.
He also agreed that his purported body-guard, another undercover officer, was a large menacing figure.
The trial continues.
