Amaral and the dogs

[Alfred R Jones]

Pretty much the same old stick. Likely to come up with the wrong or right answer by accident rather than design if all the info is not available.

This is Lowes conclusion btw:
Conclusion
In my opinion, the laboratory results that were attained did not help to clarify whether or not the DNA results obtained within the scope of this case were from Madeleine McCann.
Now that is not too hard to understand is it.

It doesn't say anything about human remains though does it?

[Mr Gray]

So by that token they could neither rule anything in nor rule anything out.

Lowe says that the partial profile was also a match for many of the scientists in Birmingham......So how significant was the partial match...more how insignificant was it...very

So the FSS could rule out that anything they analysed progressed the investigation, or provided insight into what might have happened to Madeleine.

The position was the same before the FSS report as after it.

[Alice Purjorick]

so it looks like you've given up trying to defend his absurd claim

Was I trying to defend it?
Or was I doing something else?

So?

[Alice Purjorick]

Prior says that the partial profile was also a match for many of the scientists in Birmingham......So how significant was the partial match...more how insignificant was it...very

Did he?

[Mr Gray]

Did he?

yes

The position was that from the samples analysed using techniques available at the time the FSS could not say whether MM was a contributor or whether she was not a contributor.
Why are you dissatisfied with Lowe's own wording in his conclusion? Do you think he is wrong?

[Alice Purjorick]

yes

I thought Prior was a copper.
What was his authority for the statement if he made it ?

[ferryman]

Did he?

The individual components in Madeline's profile are not unique to her, it is the specific combination of 19 components that makes her profile unique above all others. Elements of Madeline's profile are also present within the the profiles of many of the scientists here in Birmingham, myself included.

John Lowe was the forensic scientist who wrote the FSS report ....

many sceptics think this is because the scientists contaminated the sample

Is that where it came from?

I've often wondered ....

I have no problem with Lowe's wording.

I merely point out that Lowe was none the wiser after examining the material than he was before.

So the position is exactly the same as it would have been if the FSS had not examined anything.
