Is your post directed at one particular group by chance?

No

That part is.  Cipriani isnt.. The point is... If this suspect confessed... But there was no evidence... Would posters here accept he was guilty

From what I know (YouTube studies) is that in the USA there has to be more evidence of guilt other than just a statement confessing to a crime.  Physical evidence linking the person to the crime has to exist as well before they can be convicted.

No

What would be gained from the supposed confession save nortoriety.

So why do people confess

So why do people confess

Never been in converstaion with one.

Never been in converstaion with one.

There have been many studies about people who confess to crimes they have not committed ... it is a phenomenon which occurs with amazing regularity.

The inherent danger of a false confession being accepted is that it leaves the real perpetrator of a crime free to keep on offending.

Are they?  A cite would be good, thanks.

‘But it is understood that, as well as updating lawyers about the search for their daughter, who would now be six, they will be meeting representatives from a new PR agency, whom they hope can turn public opinion in Portugal in their favour.’


We have no reason to believe that they are still not working for the parents.

I'm making light of it because as it fits your narrative, 'interrogation' seems way harsher than 'interview'.
Yet Amaral discusses 'interrogation' in a matter of fact manner, as depicted in your useful quotes. It's a police interview. I don't remember Murat being too disparaging about the 'interrogation'.

I temember him bein most disparaging about it, he thought they were trying to stitch him up!

[Venturi Swirl]

Don't worry.  I know that you do serial silly propositions.

Rude.

Aren’t the parents paying a Portuguese PR company, Lift something I believe. What better way to distance yourself from the comment than having a ‘Portuguese source’  giving us the information.

LOL.  Faithlilly thinks the McCanns made it all up and the PJ are still firmly setting their sights on the parents.  You gotta laugh!

I think someone certainly was, but fortunately for him, the PJ finally saw through it.

Why has it taken them 10 years to trot this story out then?

Do you think Murat was impressed by the PJ’s conduct during his time as an arguido?

Haven't spoken to him about his experiences, so don't know.

You don’t need to speak to him personally.  Watch the Netflix docco.
