IS THIS TENNIS PHOTO REAL ...OR COULD IT BE FAKE...

[Benice]

I have encountered many police statements over the years and I must admit I've never seen so much umming and erring ever before. The poor transcribers must have had an awful task understanding that gibberish.

What you call gibberish is actually not uncommon in the spoken word.   If you make a point of listening out for it   you will  hear similar umming and erring every day of the week in conversations between people.     Some people do it more than others but very few people never do it.    I remember a time when some folk apparently couldn't converse without starting every single sentence with the word 'basically' - (Grrrrr)  thankfully that seems to have died down now.    It's only because we are not used to seeing umming and erring etc etc  written down that it stands out IMO.

So far then the reason why the tennis ball photo was taken somewhere else at a different time,  is because the McCann's decided they needed an extra photo of Madeleine because people were saying they didn't care about their children and didn't take enough photo's.

I have never heard anything so ridiculous in my life!!    They just happened to have spare photo of Madeleine with a pile of tennis balls in her hands,   to use as an extra photo.

Believe what the coach,  nanny and other witnesses say,  the mini tennis game happened,  there is nothing to doubt that the tennis ball photo is not real.

I don’t think anyone has suggested that.

This photo could have been put to bed Ten Years ago.  There is a black mark just beside her, this looks like something has scraped off the surface of the court. Over the years in many photos it looks like it's been photo shopped, but not very well. 

Could it still be there?

It looks like the photo was taken above in the play area i.e. the angle down to Madeleine.

I watched this video a few days ago which I think some of you would be Interested.
