Really interesting perspective. 

Another conspiracy theorist who thinks the McCanns are running both the BBC and the Met. Mind you, it is a Fox News article...

FOX??? Either they have pulled up the ladder or someone was out buying a sandwich.

oh my wendy is full of herself isn't she very ott

[C.Edwards]

Whereas if she'd said, "leave the poor parents alone"  you'd have found her to be bang on the money, right? Oh she doesn't agree with us,  burn the witch!

Indeed, it reflects the rank hypocrisy of the Mccanns supporters.

I would say that about sums it up. A predictable response.

Just watched it again. This is really quite powerful stuff.  Just think - if you've only been fed the official sanitised "abduction is the only option" story all these years and suddenly - in spite of desperate attempts by the presenter to steer the crashing ship back on course - a credible former prosecutor suddenly says (to a very wide audience)  what a lot of us have been trying to say for years.

She seems to be pretty reasonable at what she does:

Wendy is an adjunct professor at New England Law|Boston where she has taught a seminar on sexual violence for more than ten years. She developed and directs two projects in conjunction with the school’s Center for Law and Social Responsibility. The “Sexual Violence Legal News” project is an alert service that distributes appellate cases of interest, with editorial comment, related to interpersonal violence. The “Judicial Language Project” uses socio-linguistic research to critique the language used in law and society to describe violence against women and children.

She was a Visiting Scholar at Harvard Law School from 2002-2003 where her work focused on the status of women in their capacity as victims in the criminal justice system. Wendy previously taught “Reproductive Rights and Technologies” at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and in 2002 served as the Mary Joe Frug Visiting Assistant Professor of Law at New England Law|Boston where she has also taught courses in reproductive technologies and constitutional criminal procedure.

She is a trial and appellate attorney specializing in the representation of crime victims, women, children and victim service providers and is the founder and director of the Victim Advocacy & Research Group, a volunteer legal advocacy organization that has provided free legal services to victims and other third-parties in the criminal justice system since 1992.

I have no doubt that "operation discredit" will now swing into action and there'll be a lot of people desperately trawling for some misdemeanour in her past that can be held up as a reason for not listening to a word she says.. "OMG... she once parked with one wheel in a disabled bay and got a parking ticket, this CONVICTED CRIMINAL is a DISGRACE to her profession and should not be anywhere NEAR a television interview. How DARE she?" (am I doing it right guys?  I'll check in on STM and the syke-o-pit later to see. Big fan.  )

Wendy Murphy:

"I am not buying this 'new suspect' thing..."

"A FAKE suspect..."

A direct hit on the British establishment and our Prime Minister, a bullseye on Britain's finest police force, the Met, and on Britain's state broadcasting company, the BBC

Just watched the interview.

Quite interesting.

However, the refusal to answer the questions only occurred when the PJ considered them suspects, but the rest of what she said is right on the ball.

Pretty much up until that time the PJ had been (officially at least) "looking elsewhere" as directed though. There was no point in asking them such questions up until that moment.  This (as I think Amaral has said in an interview) was the biggest failure of the investigation - that they allowed themselves to  be distracted early on rather than focusing more on the parents and friends.

who is she ? what is she ?

[Angelo222]

Former prosecutor Wendy Murphy is scary!!  She most certainly doesn't mince her words.  Why did the mother of a missing child refuse to answer questions?? 

Maybe the McCanns will sue her now too??

And the Fox anchorwoman came into it from such a predictably soft angle too   ...  Wendy was'nt having  none  of it   

Imagine  her   having the McCanns on the stand  !

Yep, She reminded me in her style of Judge Judy.

I would love to see the Mccanns facing her.
