The known facts and the speculations featuring Brueckner, the prime suspect

[G-Unit]

Oh The Irony.

I assume you're referring to the media stories about the McCanns. The difference is that they themselves involved the media in the case, and the Portuguese authorities did question them under caution; they followed procedure.

The German authorities have ignored their own privacy laws and haven't taken any action at all against their suspect.

Do you actually believe things would have been different in the McCanns hadn't "involved the media"?  That the reports would have been more accurate and respectful and less intrusive?  Or are you suggesting that because they reached out to the media to help in publicising their daughter's disappearance that they deserved to have their reputations and integrity trashed as a result?

It would have been worse if The McCanns had done nothing.  In My Opinion.

Without McCann's arrogance and sense of entitlement things would have gone much more smoothly.

I have seen no arrogance or sense of entitlement.  Just a desire to find their daughter.  Turn that into a crime if you can.

I was simply pointing out the differences. In the case of the McCanns the media interest was encouraged and sustained by them, their spokespeople and their friends and family. In the case of Brueckner it was encouraged and sustained by the public prosecutor.

So what?

If they're involved in Madeleine's disappearance then that would mean they filed a false missing persons report, which would be a crime.

There.

Is there the slightest possibility of you setting aside your personal vendetta and bias for a few minutes and setting an example of how to deploy the protocol of posting to the topic of the thread.

One of the known facts we have about Brueckner is that he uses personal contacts with the media in which he certainly has not shown the slightest interest in helping the police with their enquiries or assisting them in finding Madeleine.

Also I seem to have a recollection of something about Holy water in Hell as relayed by his legal advisor to the media.  I think Brueckner is making use of his time in the spotlight.

Why would you expect him to ?

He is a career criminal  who views police as his enemy.

Agreed.

I think he is a psychopath and I think the sceptic sympathies for him are misplaced.  He is in a German prison where his human rights are being respected and will be dealt with or not dependant on what evidence is found regarding the crimes he is suspected of.

That includes the crime against Madeleine McCann which appears to be only one of many.

By not helping with inquiries & not assisting in finding Maddie she means not confessing & not telling police where the body is.

By the same logic, the McCanns haven't helped with inquires or assisted in finding Maddie either.

[The General]

Does that include when he appeared in court and got filled in by the guards?

[jassi]

I do't see labeling him as a psychopathy or anything else is of any importance -he is what he is.

Wouldn't wish to see him wrongly convicted though, or more precisely, without due process of law.

One can never be certain about wrongful conviction - IMO

No real forensic value there, given that Kate washed it.

Ahh but Eddie alerted to CC apparently after Kate washed it.
