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

[barrier]

So don't defend yourself if you are innocent.  Don't produce an alibi and don't tell The Police if someone else had your phone.

That doesn't sound very sensible.  In fact it could be construed as Wasting Police Time.

How so? they even haven't sat down with him yet.

[Vertigo Swirl]

Thats your problem in how you perceive me,don't forget the admin post.

Oh right.  So the scorn and the mockery I perceive in your posts concerning the German expedition is all in my head.  Right you are then ducky.

Brueckner is banged up for at least the next five years, so no real hurry.

So no concern about the McCanns or Madeleine during the next 5 years ? Quite happy for things to drag on ?

There is nothing that I or you can do about that.

That doesn't sound very sensible. In fact it could be construed as Wasting Police Time.  Let alone asking for a Guilty Verdict.

How can he be accused of wasting police time when they are not even asking anything of him ?

But they will eventually.  In the meantime he has time to think about it.

[Mr Gray]

Which is common practice apparently.

"Brueckner's lawyer Friedrich Fulscher said: "Mr B is remaining silent on the allegation at this time on the advice of his defence counsel. This is quite common in criminal proceedings. It is the duty of the state to prove that a suspect committed a crime. No accused person has to prove his innocence to the investigating authorities."

I understand that to mean that no response will be forthcoming if the police go on a fishing expedition.

you might make taht interpretation but it isnt what he said....I go by the facts.

No one has to prove innoce...contrary to what the portuguse seem to think...but his failure to answer questions can be use dby the prosecution to infer guilt. particularly refusing to account for his movements at the time of teh alleged crime...this adds to the circumstantial evidence

So does that mean you fully understand why Kate McCann refused to answer the PJ's questions and thoroughly support her decision not to take part in a "fishing expedition"?

The statuses of Kate McCann and Brueckner are not the same.

Where were you on the night of the crime?  Not telling ya, so there.  That would go down a bundle with The Jury.

I don't see what difference it makes where Brueckner was on the night Maddie wasn't abducted imo.

Brueckner might find it to be important.

In the same way Kate McCann refused to answer the Portuguese police when questioned even agreeing that in refusing to do so she was impeding the search for her own daughter. Bloody charming but then my views on their parenting skills are well known.

According to the evidence she was and from the street outside.

For once I totally agree with you. A truly innocent person will speak freely and openly to detectives.

No not in the same way.......as ive said on another thread each case is taken on its merits and th ecourt decides how valid the refusal is. Certainly failing to account for where you were on the night of the incidenct is extremely important......so the answer is No...not in the same way
