Amaral and the dogs

[stephen25000]

Probability us simply not good enough.  Although your definition of probability is vastly different from mine.

You do know convictions can be made, for example, with a lack of a body in suspected murder cases.

That will involve circumstantial evidence and more than just a consideration of probability.

Somebody could still be alive under that rubble.  Dogs find them.  Dogs like Eddie.  That's what he was.

So Eddie alerted to a live person in the apartment.....

This one will appear in Fora all over the net.

They are trained for a specific purpose.

Perhaps you should look up the Oesterhelweg study 1998.

if you are going to respond to my post could you answer the question it asks

[Mr Gray]

Complete waste of time using sniffer dogs isn't it?  &%+((£

not if they regularly find evidence

[Mr Gray]

Maybe........

If that`s the case, though, a weak residual scent remaining from an actual cadaver after a clean-up could be superseded and missed by the stronger whiff left behind by a nosebleed to which the dog alerts.

as I said...do actual cadaver dogs alert to blood...it appears eddie was not trained originally as a cadaver dog

yes we all know that

Yes, I use a mathematical definition.

Really?  My mathematical skills far exceed most.  I can actually add 10 times 90, divided by eleventy two and come up with an answer.

I don't have any great scientific skills.  Just don't take me on when it comes to Maths.

If a dog is not accurate, it will not alert when it should as well as alert when it shouldn't, if they are as inaccurate as you suggest I think I will stop flying.

I assume that is a joke?

Yes, Stephen, I do know that.  Can you give us some examples of circumstantial evidence in this case?

It was irrelevant.

The dogs and their handlers are used for specific purposes.

That is why, above all the bluster, the mccanns were and still are worried about the indications of Eddie and Keela.

It wasn`t the survivors under the rubble I was on about, though. Brietta brought that up.

It was the fact that Eddie and his doggy colleagues don`t seem to be alerting non-stop, from the word go, as they surely would if all the possible contaminants listed on these threads caused an alert.

Oh dear. 'Eleventy two'

Freudian slip, no doubt.

[Anna]

Can someone please remind me......How many bodies did they find in Jersey?
Lots of alerts in this film.

At the moment, there is nothing other than the dogs.
