“A Laughable Story”

[Vertigo Swirl]

No but they met on 4 May 2007 and Gerry didn't want to admit it.

And that’s suspicious because...?

[pathfinder73]

They are only concerned about protecting themselves. Lawyered up from the start so No comment is no surprise.

MADDY suspect Robert Murat has spoken for the first time since he was questioned by Portuguese police and claimed: "I'm a scapegoat."

And McCann answering no comment about knowing Murat is suspicious because...?

.

He had met him and spoken to him on 4th May;

We walked back along the path that I had taken to Gerry's apartment and I explained that Robert spoke Portuguese fluently, he told Gerry that it was important to have someone who spoke the language so that nothing would be lost in translation...

After he left, he explained that Gerry was frustrated with the way in which the case was being handled and they went to talk to John Hill.

He was very abrupt when he answered the question and then he was off;

Murat was a translator who translated for some of the McCann party ... if memory serves me well he may even have helped Kate.

Nothing at all to do with the McCann party or anyone else requiring a translator, more an issue for the Judicial police who were making use of his services.

Here is one, Sadie.

Thank you Anthro

I have another copy which I cant find that shows it.

Looking at that image it looks as though the knee in her left leg is a little lower down than the knee on her right leg, making me wonder if as she grew older her left leg grew faster causing the left ankle to be slightly deformed as in Robs image.

Well, come on.  What more do you want?

There is a faction of society that will always see ill no matter what.  And another faction who never will.

 Where common bloody dog fat comes into this is a bit beyond me.  I call it Logic.  In London in my early days we called it common  bleeding dog fat.  Like use your brain.  Is there any sense to this?  No, there in't.

But you can do this until the cows come home.  You will never convince some people.

My only hope is that Madeleine is still alive.  But if she isn't then she has been long dead, and therefor no longer of any importance to herself.

Me?  I suspect that I have lived a bit too long, but such is the fate of the likes of me.  I go on fighting for something that I don't really understand.  But I will never call worse than I was.  That's the thing you see.  Me.  I did this, so how on earth can I possibly blame The McCanns.

Nothing to do with Almeida fortunately. The video speaks for itself!

Reporter: "Did you know Robert Murat"

Gerry McCann: "I'm not going to comment on that...hmm"

They were told by the Portuguese Police not to speak about the investigation,  two years in jail if they did.

If Gerry had said yes/no do you think the journalist would have stopped at that?

particularly as the journalist was Sandra F who had already taunted them

Even if they hadn’t stopped what had Gerry to hide ? It just made him look shifty...perhaps unfairly.

Only to those who didn't understand why he wasn't saying anything.   Sandra should have known better.

Do you really believe that Gerry having already met Murat would be covered by judicial secrecy rules ? In what way ?

In my opinion it's typical of those incidents which have set people wondering. When people choose to appear in the public eye they need to be able to put on a good performance. Snapping at reporters isn't a good idea.

But perfectly understandable in the circumstances.  Gerry did not choose to become someone hounded by the media in any case.
