What did Kate McCann really see in the Children's Bedroom

[Robin Banks]

That is completely beside the point I was making.  The room she described as dark and yet was still able to see things in it.

I would think by this point other lights would have been put on in the apartment, bringing light into the Children's bedroom.  I can't imagine everyone looking for Maddie without any lights on.

You can imagine what you like, the fact is Batista said the room was DARK and still managed to see enough to ascertain that Madeleine was not in the DARK cupboard.

FFS, I was quoting her verbatim and now I’m being slagged off for it.  Does it REALLY matter, really?

Well she is mistaken if she thinks it is a blind so what else is she mistaken about?

Everything probably.  Perhaps a new thread to examine the inconsistencies in her statement is in order.  Oh wait, no she’s not one of the Tapas group so little point.

She has already been "done" with some haraz about conflict of interest. It's amazing the extent of reach of this cases pseudopodia.

No idea what that all means but thanks for sharing.

Topic, please.

My point was more about the fact that she, like Gerry, described the room as "dark" and like Gerry she also claims to have been able to see things in this dark room.  In any case you are wrong as she describes the blinds as "down".

There is down and right down.

When did the shutters become blinds?
There is a fundamental difference.

Ask the translators.

In Gerry's statement on the 4th May he doesn't mention any concerns for Maddie, but on the 10th May he states he entered the Children's bedroom, nothing about switching lights on though.

There is what is said and what is not said.

Shutters letting light through and the curtains open.  2 things different from when Gerry visited.

So because she didn’t say “right down” we can take “down” to mean only partly down, is that what you’re saying?

What a pity that their friends didn't look. They all ran from the Tapas then skidded to a halt and didn't go into the apartment, apart from the Paynes who saw....nothing.

I would imagine Silvia saw what the photos of 5A show;

Firstly the room was dark (her words) so how was she able to determine the relative position of “blinds”, curtains, beds, secondly, she describes the curtains as “slightly opened”, which is IMO less than what we see in the photos, thirdly she says she checked the wardrobe (in the dark) - not sure how easy that would have been with the brown cot positioned where it is in the photo and fourthly, she did all this before the GNR arrived, so well in advance of these photos being taken.  We can imagine this is what the room looked like when she arrived, but we cannot believe, accept or comfirm it.  There is no way of knowing for certain is there?

Who shut the damn window?
