Getting their friends to refuse ...
Where did you dream that?
No dream Ferryman. Pure common sense and logic. The requests for participation in the reconstruction were made in March 2008 AFTER the infamous Rothley hotel meeting in November 2007 where the McCann's met with the rest of the Tapas mob and respective Counsel.
As has been well established the McCann's themselves had no choice but to attend given their Arguido status however when the request from Rebelo and subsequent email exchanges were published they clearly indicate the witnesses talking to each other about participating and whether its purpose is to incriminate the McCann's.
It is quite clear and obvious to anyone with half a brain what has transpired in the background to kill it.
Furthermore as friends of the McCann's the idea that they would refuse to take part against the wishes of Gerry & Kate is clearly nonsensical.
Are you suggesting that Kate and Gerry WANTED to take part and their awful friends refused?
One of the principal purposes of the reconstruction was to establish that Jane Tanner could walk past Jez and Gerry without being noticed.
Now no need.
We know beyond doubt that she did.
We also know that Jane Tanner's (honest) testimony turns out not to be relevant because the man she saw has been identified and eliminated from the enquiry.
We do not know that she saw the man as she walked past. As Angelo pointed out after the CW program Redwood's words were very careful to suggest she COULD or MAY have seen the man. Why did he use those words rather than she did, particularity given the direction she described him walking was the precise opposite way he should have been walking?
So we do not know when and where she did see this man for sure do we?
In relation to the reconstruction it will allow investigators to understand better the window of opportunity for a later abduction, what Gerry and Matt saw in relation to doors and in Matt's case light at his later check and what the other members did and saw later on after the 9:30 check by Matt.
You like many supporters seem to want to play down the importance of reconstructing the events of the night. Given the knots the group tied themselves in and their later honing of statements to fit Jane's 9:15 abductor i can understand why.
It is a weak underbelly you do not want to see exposed.
