Do you have a definite photo of Gerrys trousers that have the buttons down
They dont sound like Gerrys plain style, but maybe I am wrong?
No the trousers appear to have a whole series of buttons running down the outseam:
Ok that could be Gerrys style. Agreed ... but then it is lots of peoples style too, especially on holiday.
Yes but the point i have been trying to make is what's the likelihood of a man wearing these type of trousers (and now the jacket - see below) carrying a child matching Madeleine's description, on the 3rd May on or around the time Madeleine went missing, with according to one witness a 60-80% likeliness to Gerry.
How many men would there have been in PDL mathcing all those things at that time?
How feasible is it to simply accept without challenge or further investigation that all those things could be one big coincidence?
Yes! Gerry McCann was club doctor at Celtic FC and I recently saw a green and white hooped T-shirt at Primark!
So he must be guilty!
Sorry ferryman, I just had to post this as I am so frustrated about the so called "connections" that the forkers are so fond of.
No you are confusing "connections" with "coincidences" generated from information in the files. Big difference.
The forkers seem to get this fact wrong time and time again... like the 15/19 markers (sorry to go off topic)!!
"Forkers"?? Really? Can't you indulge in civil and constructive debate without feeling the need to resort to the language of the playground which so dominates the two sides in any discussion about Madeleine McCann?
It all depends on when Gerry bought those trousers and when the photograph was taken. Unless you know that you can't make any assumptions.
And what happened to the dark long-sleeved jacket.
He was wearing neither of those articles of clothing when he went to dinner on the 3rd.
So you are happy to accept that the trousers Aoife Smith described to a tee that we have a photo of Gerry wearing could have been bought afterwards. What would have been the chances of Gerry going out after the abduction and buying the exact same trousers described in the statement, really?
That photo was taken in 2007 i believe.
In relation to a dark long sleeved jacket well of course it depends how dark "dark" is, but how about this one:
Here it is from the front:
Which does look very similar to the one used in one of the McCann's abduction docs, does it not?:
He didn't need to wear it at dinner, he could have popped it on at any point.
The issue is that all these things do warrant further investigation. Irrespective of whether you believe the abduction theory what has always struck me as odd when discussing the McCann case is that people's views are either all or nothing on either side.
So if someone believes the abduction scenario then not one single piece of evidence which may be contrary to that opinion is ever accepted as being possible.
I don't see that this case nor indeed most complex investigative cases are that black and white and it does the debating of the case in general a disservice.
