Can Colin Sutton's opinion be described as evidence?

Evidence of what?

[Brietta]

Does that mean the sum total of evidence for the open window and whooshing curtains amounts to no comment?

Why would you say that?

[Brietta]

Which suspect in this case alleges they had a voluntary statement beaten out of them? As you can see I'm new and getting confused. 

I don't think that is an allegation I have ever seen posted anywhere on this forum before ... what makes you ask?

[Brietta]

Because Davel said What statements, aren't voluntary.... Those that are beaten out of a, suspect, that's why. Why did he say that?

Please link to the post made by Davel to which you refer.  Thank you

[Robittybob1]

I'm new, perhaps you can guide me on how link it please? I had C&P it.
How about that,

Look at the top line of a post.

Blowed if I know. This is his opinion;

snip/
Collin Sutton, "We’re talking about interviews given by the McCanns and friends through an interpreter, written down in Portuguese and then translated back into English so officers from Grange can read them. The room for error would be enormous.”

This is the claim that his opinion is evidence;

And his opinion is evidence to support the claim the statements are not accurate

His opinion is his opinion. You can call it evidence but it has no meaningful evidential value, How could it be used, by whom and for what purpose?

That's your opinion.. Not fact

We could spend all day arguing about the meanings of words, but life's too short ino. Unless you can explain why you think the facts you quoted can be seen as evidence my interest in this discussion ends here..

As they support the assertion that the statements are not accurate then by definition they are evidence... It could be argued that the statements have no evidential value, due to the way they were recorded ...as I pointed out to you they almost certainly can't be used against the mccanns

So you assert that the statements are not accurate and to prove that you're right you are saying others agree with you.

The people who made the statements signed them, thereby certifying their accuracy.

They signed them they didn't verify their accuracy... They couldn't as they were in portuguese... That is a fact you wont accept.. How can you verify the accuracy if something you don't understand...

"With all formal witness statements, the interview is read over and its contents explained. After having shown their agreement with their statements, the interviewee confirms and signs as accurate the content of the document that follows, conjointly with the "sworn" interpreter, where one is used. This is normal procedure in all formal interviews. In co-signing, the interpreter commits themself legally concerning the accuracy of their translation."
