Is there more circumstantial evidence against the mccanns than there is CB

[Mr Gray]

The PJ certainly didn’t.

They haven't seen the evidence

[Vertigo Swirl]

If the judges found him innocent where the populace strongly thought he was guilty there could be riots.  (like what happened in the USA.)
That is the purpose of a trial in a court where the evidence can be examined.

I think there are more likely to be riots if he's found guilty - certainly amongst a certain very small sector of society. 

[Mr Gray]

Again this is why I don't think Wolters would make these claims unless he ws very sure

[faithlilly]

They haven't seen the evidence

They say that they have and that it doesn’t amount to a hill of beans.

I think you’d have to be incredibly naive to believe that several police forces are working collaboratively and haven’t shared all the information they have. How would they know if they were duplicating work or had information that bolstered the others case?

[kizzy]

What’s he waiting for I wonder...?

Well, obvs he is waiting for Wolt to charge CB.

[kizzy]

Probably because he spoke to amaral
If CB is guilty then someone needs to explain what the dogs alerts were to

Well, it seems most have ruled out the dog alerts anyway.

The bigger problem I would think would be if Maddie had been found soon after - but she wasn't was she.

[G-Unit]

Wolters is free to say what he wants if he feels it will help the investigation.. As I understand that is the law

Not Human Rights Law, which Germany has signed up to uphold and comply with.

[Vertigo Swirl]

Well, obvs he is waiting for Wolt to charge CB.

Wouldn't it be far better to put it beyond doubt now rather than have that sword of Damocles hanging over his client's head indefinitely? 

[kizzy]

The germans may well have proof that Maddie  was abducted... And they may well have already visited Luz. SY have already and support abduction.
Amarals contribution according to MARK S is that the shutters could not beopened from the outside... Which of course is rubbish

IMO the whole shutter/window scenario is rubbish.

I believe if the window hadn't been opened it could prove IMO the whole thing was a sham.

There is no real evidence that that window was left open.

apart from the mccs saying so - kmc slide it shut but still left twins - why not leave it as it was

How do you work that one out?

[kizzy]

Well obvs again - why should he, probably has an idea the case is very weak anyway IMO

[Vertigo Swirl]

Why make such a public pronouncement in the first place then?  Just playing games?

[Mr Gray]

Not Human Rights Law, which Germany has signed up to uphold and comply with.

Investigating police officers are covered by privelige for statements made as part of an investigation. I had a discussion here with ICHTT covering it.

Judges don't find people innocent

[Mr Gray]

Ahaic if Wolters has the evidence he's fine.. Otherwise he might be in big trouble. That suggests to me he has it
