Michael Wright's testimony

[Luz]

What in God's name is brave about sitting in a court room, taking notes?

Are you suggesting that Portuguese court rooms are dangerous places?

Are you actually aware of the content of the notes? Are you actually aware that others helped make these notes? Are you actually able to demonstrate that the notes were not in fact the truth of his memory? Or are you just making wild and nasty speculation for the sake of it?

An absence of evidence that you do know the contents, the relationship of the contents to true memory and whether there was assistance given in making the notes will show clearly that you are just speculating wildly. It will not be a shock to those who read your posts regularly and have done so for many years.

Your systematic attack on my posts is not paying off. Other members most certainly have already seen where you come from. But if it pleases you in any depraved way, be my guest, however I'l restrain from addressing you unless you start using your own words as guide.

These of course being the same so called private investigators who according to ex RUC detective Dave Edgar weren't professional?  (Edgar boasted on the stand in Lisbon that he was the first professional investigator engaged by the McCanns)

It has been shown that the PI's engaged by the McCanns were a bunch of crooks who invented sightings and stories just to keep in favour.  So how could anything that Mr Amaral did have had any consequence in an investigation which was basically a SHAM anyway??

Yet again this is an example of their shift the blame at any cost policy.

YWT that these crooks, having little reverence for the truth,  could conveniently have blamed their failure to make  progress opon the supposed all-pervading influence of Amaral - if Amaral's influence was as profound as suggested.

Instead, as you say Angelo, they focused on the sightings, and indeed invented sightings,  insisting that Madeleine was alive and findable.

That comment really does jar with the idea that you are reporting accurately from the court room.

When you post something like that, making it very clear that you do not understand that 'stationary' is a generic term which most definitely includes the stationary made available in all good hotels with or without a logo. During a recent stay in a central London Hotel (Guoman chain) the stationary included envelopes and  both headed and plain notepaper. The headed paper is generally used as the first page of a letter and the plain for subsequent pages. The plain paper was a pad of at least 40 sheets in identical style to the headed paper which was in the drawer as separate sheets.

Well, I didn't want  be the one to say it, Puffin.

'E' for envelope

Thank you.  If there is one thing I hate above all, it is the English language being mangled.  Puffin
