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

[Vertigo Swirl]

I dont think they ever agreed to a test.....IMO they were asked by a jornalist if they would...they then outlined the hypothetical situation where they would take the test....that isnt agreeing to take the test.
 a bit like CB agreeing to answer questions....when its possible to order holy water as  a long drink in hell...

yeah, you’re probably right actually.  In fact I think the journo asked their spokesman, not them directly anyway.

Very relevant NOT 💫    NOV. 7, 1994 ???

According to the Sun the question arose because;

"Thousands of Sun readers wanted to know why they had not taken a polygraph test over missing daughter Madeleine, four."

There's no explanation of how the Sun were contacted by these thousands of readers, and I can find nothing in previous editions which mentions the subject. Armed with this 'fact', however the Sun managed to get a quote from an unnamed source;

“If they were asked to take a lie detector test by police, they would.

“They have said all along that they want to co-operate fully with the Portuguese police but, as of today, they have received no such request from the Portuguese authorities. Kate and Gerry are happy to do anything that will help clear their names.”
https://themaddiecasefiles.com/we-ll-do-lie-test-the-sun-21-09-07-t3058.html

The source immediately restricts the circumstances under which they would agree to take a test; only if the police were involved. As neither the UK nor Portuguese police used the tests because they were inadmissible in court, that wasn't going to happen.

Those thousands of Sun readers asked a question (allegedly) and got an answer. Kate and Gerry were not happy to do anything to help clear their names. They had conditions. End of story.

What difficulty do you experience in adding "In My Opinion" when expressing it in your posts?

[Brietta]

I'm talking about what was reportedly said, not why it was said, which is what you are referring to.  "a lie detector would not help clear their names as they are not reliable" is your opinion, not said by the McCanns and not a fact.

And why are you bothering with old lies told by tabloids.  Aren't you a stickler for dismissing unattributed statements made by tabloids when it suits?  Or have you decided that if it is in the papers it must be true?

IMO it's like not answering the questions ....there was something not right with finding Maddie gone from her bed.
 
Also the lead up to it.Again IMO.

Of course "there was something not right with finding Maddie gone from her bed."  Nobody had the right to do lift her from it.

In the absence of any evidence that her parents were involved, that leaves plenty of evidence that Madeleine was the victim of a stranger abduction; starting with the fact that Madeleine was missing and ending with the evidence trail which has led to Brueckner.

Doesn't really matter what the Sun says because there is no proof the McCanns ever agreed to take a polygraph...and it could  not have proved their innocence in any event

That which is not a statement of fact backed up with a cite is an opinion. 

I suggest you reread your posts.  In this instance the last two sentence of your post starting "Those thousands of ..." and ending with " ... of story." might benefit from your scrutiny.

Is that supposed to be an answer to my post?
