The changing witness statements for the day that Madeleine disappeared.

[Estuarine]

no it wasn't a definitive statement that's your opinion..im posting from work and if you understood what im doing you might understand

I understand what you are doing. Making a definitive statement , being challenged by jassi then making excuses as to why you are right and everyone else is wrong. Par for the course.

Read the top of the Daily Mail article, it explains it for you:

Can you now confirm you accept Mr Rainbow's report contained this.

Bloody hell!

We've done this.

Lee Rainbow's report has been produced.  It said nothing about "contradictions in statements".

Lee Rainbow:

“It should be stressed that there is no evidence to directly support an involvement of the family, yet given the absence of decisive evidence to prove the contrary, such a scenario has to be explored.”

Would you like to give a link, rather than just print a selected highlight?

Incidentally, the discussion centres on the DM report that very clearly mentions contradictions

So you can't link to the report and it's contents, merely another newspaper report

The only evidence to the contrary is a claim by a lawyer Amaral parted company with in a court round Amaral lost.

There is absolutely no reason to suppose The Express made up its quote.

wrong again..if I am stating opinion as I have said I am   I am not saying I'm right I'm saying it's my opinion

[Mr Gray]

I understand what you are doing. Making a definitive statement , being challenged by jassi then making excuses as to why you are right and everyone else is wrong. Par for the course.

having read the express article I would say that  what I worked out re the statement is almost certainly true...rainbow never mentioned gerrys staement

[ferryman]

Well, Yep accoridng to the Mail:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1250084/How-letter-UK-police-turned-spotlight-Kate-Gerry-McCann.html

A direct and attributable quote from the lawyer quoting from the report.

Mr Cabrita did not outline what ' contradictions' had been found in Mr McCann's statements and refused to give any further details after the Lisbon hearing.

Why is that, do you suppose?

And why did the McCanns win that particular court round?

[Albertini]

Bloody hell!! Do you have a copy of the report or are you saying 'bloody hell' on the basis only of your express article trumping the daily mail article.

Either produce tbe report directly or lose the faux exasperation.

Rainbow, like Harrison, was working for the NPIA, which is a Home Office agency and part of the UK police service. The NPIA provided expert assistance to the early PJ investigation.

Ah, you mean you have found a tabloid report that you can interpret into supporting your viewpoint 

[Mr Gray]

Ah, you mean you have found a tabloid report that you can interpret into supporting your viewpoint 

But your viewpoint was based on such a report. The express is no better than the mail
