That doesn't prove he didn't do it.

According to their friends he was, but I don't know what that proves.

it proves that either all his friends have lied to the police...risking a prison sentence in  a portuguese jail..loss of their jobs..houses...careers...possibility of children beiing taken into care...knowing that if just one of them cracks all this will happen...and they have kept this charade up for 13 yeras...or they are telling the truth

It proves that he wasn't in 5a when Madeleine disappeared,  he was sitting in the Tapas Bar.   Jez saw him and chatted with him after he had done his check on Madeleine.  He behaved normally.

What time did Madeleine disappear then?

What time did Maddie disappear?

It could be anytime between the McCanns leaving for the Tapas bar & 10pm.

Gerry claims to have seen her around 9pm, but we only have his word for it, & Matt never saw her.

Snap! In fact the last time anyone saw Madeleine apart from her parents is unclear. According to David Payne it was 18.40 ish.

Or they could just have been mistaken.

Sigh ... incredibly on a dog thread the forum has veered to having yet another discriminatory binge with Madeleine's parents at the centre of it.

At least the change of tack appears to suggest the recognition that the dogs are a busted flush.  The fact that it has taken thirteen years to penetrate is the quite extraordinary thing.

But none of them had watches or phones and they do seem a bit muddled with their concept of time. How long, for example, was Payne in 5A earlier that fateful evening?

Or they could just have been mistaken.

What, seven highly intelligent professionals, with integrity, plus all the other customers, waiters, bar staff and manager all THOUGHT Gerry was sat there, they served him his food, gave him wine...and each and everyone f of them hallucinated????

[pathfinder73]

The waiter said they had gone by 9:50. 10 minutes before 10pm.

[ISpyWithMyEye]

The waiter said they had gone by 9:50. !0 minutes before 10pm.

That one waiter was wrong in that case.

Everyone else said they were ALL there when Kate left at 10pm

When she rushed back screaming they all jumped up and dashed out leaving one of the group’s mother’s sat there. The staff all witnessed it too.

That waiter is obviously  wrong.
