Charlotte Pennington - what is the truth?

[Robittybob1]

Is this joke?  Why would the paper or manager make it up?  They did, frequently.

The thing as I see it there were multiple quotes of the source and no denial.  I tend to think it did happen (in that it was said, I wouldn't have a clue as to whether the event happened).  It would be equal to Lord Bell's pronouncement that the McCanns paid him half a million ponds to keep them in the news.  It was a verbal statement, that can be reported and quoted but you won't find an article written by Lord Bell himself saying the same thing IMO AFAIK.

"because the hotel is responsible for the children of the clients"


Would someone care to explain how the OC pick up that liablity for those in accommodation without the OC ?
While you are at it explain the contractual relationships that cause this liability to be picked up?

"She must know what she is talking about" does not cut it I am afraid.

It would always be possible for anyone to say the wrong thing at times.

Do you have an actual cite for the manager saying anything of the kind, please?

I did ask you ... http://miscarriageofjustice.co/index.php?topic=10342.msg499764#msg499764 but you appear to have missed my post.

It is what was quoted in Rob’s cite...

Not Libel.  They did.

Sorry can you explain what that means...?

I give in.  This is getting ridiculous again.

No.

[slartibartfast]

https://www.infobae.com/2007/08/15/331952-crecen-las-sospechas-contra-los-padres-madeleine/ is in Spanish from an Argentinian paper but it quotes another source yet again "Batista said in an interview given to the Globo.com portal that the hotel is working with the police from the beginning to find the girl.

I'm not sure what they mean by "Globo.com portal" but I doubt it was some blog.

The newspaper article says that this is what she said. Why would the paper or the manager make it up?

[Venturi Swirl]

Suggesting the manager made it up is libel.

What about suggesting Charlotte Pennington is an attention seeking clown who makes things up - is that libel too?

I think Globo is based in Brazil, which, of course has extremely close historical connections with Portugal. .

What you said was ambiguous, hence asking for clarification.

Well?

If the press is so perfidious ( btw I agree ) why do you cut and paste great swathes of their reportage quite so often ?

To provide a cite as per forum rules, perhaps???
