Heather's secret tapes trotted out again

The seemingly never-ending stream of tapes that Heather Mills may or may not have continues to unspool, with the News of the World claiming that in the middle of them, Paul "wishes Heather dead":

In a phone call to his daughter Stella, Macca allegedly says: "If we turn up the pressure on Heather, with a bit of luck she will top herself and then we won't have to pay her a penny."

Which seems a little unlikely, and - even if he did - it's not entirely clear how this is supposed to help her case, as the paper suggests:
And it is expected to form a major part of Mucca's case for a multi-million-pound divorce settlement.

A close source said: "Her legal team feel that if the tape is genuine it is one of the most damning things Paul has ever said."

So, an unsourced source suggests that even the legal team have doubts about the tape, if it exists, and if it is genuine.

The problem, surely, is that for the conversation to have any real value, it would need to have been followed up with a long stream of leaks from the McCartney camp to the press showing Mills in a bad light which - as far as its possible to tell - hasn't happened. Sure, the tabloids have been unkind to her, but it's not the tabloids that Mills is divorcing.
