Kate's refusal on legal advice to answer those 48 questions.

[Alfred R Jones]

It will be interesting to see how the supporters react if the alleged POI take the same course of action as Kate and refuse to answer the questions put to them. Will we hear cries of ' no wonder they haven't answered, the PJ/SY are trying to fit them up'  or something rather less charitable ?

And it will be interesting to see the doubters' reactions if and when these POIs are made arguidos by the PJ...how will you spin that one, out of interest?

[Eleanor]

Ah, but we believe in the rule of law.  This does not include the lead detective selling his thesis for loads a money, and generally attempting to influence public opinion.

If The PJ arrest someone, I shall wait and see.  But no doubt CdM and Amaral will have things to say.

[Mr Gray]

Albertini has made a brilliant case as to why kate did not answer the 48 questions and why they did not return for the reconstruction. Had amaral been this expert that some have tried to portray him as then I'm sure the mccanns would have co operated fully. In fact the criminal amaral led a bungled investigation...not my words....it is well documented...he is no expert ...eventually sacked..and thats why the mccanns were absolutely right to have nothing but contempt for him

[Eleanor]

As perfect innocents, how could they have said anything to implicate themselves, or each other ?

Just look at the 48 Questions.  They were designed to attempt to trip them up.  And look at Forums in general.  Every word The McCanns have ever said has been twisted out of all recognition.  Do you think a barrister wouldn't try to do the same?

So are you suggesting that however innocent a person might be, they should never answer any question in case it is later twisted?

But Kate did answer the questions.  The PJ failed to record that interview.

certainly not if you suspect that the police are trying to charge you with a crime for which you are innocent...and certainly not with an investigator with the track record of amaral in the cipriano case...

Remember kate had already been interviewed for 18 or so hours and answered every question put to her

Sorry but could you provide a cite for that because I have never heard of it.

[jassi]

Every day a new excuse

Read The Questions.  If you had done so you would know that Kate had answered the questions on the previous day.

The main reason for Kate not answering any of the 48 questions was so that there would be no discrepancies between her answers and Gerry's. IIRC, this was the first time that they were questioned separately.

No, you are wrong.  Kate was questioned alone on the previous day.

No Eleanor this is what you posted :

"But Kate did answer the questions.  The PJ failed to record that interview."

Now this is demonstrably untrue as there is a record of the questions put to Kate on the 6th of September and her answers in the files, and those questions are completely different from the ones she was asked on the 7th, after she had been made an arguido.

Which begs the question Eleanor, why are you trying to mislead people ? Isn't the truth enough to exonerate the McCanns ?

Read The Questions.  Several of them say, "Have you anything more to say than you have already said?"

Let's stick to the point Eleanor.

You claimed that Kate had been interviewed but the PJ hadn't recorded her answers. I have demonstrated this is untrue.

Now do you have any evidence to support your claim or do you wish to withdraw it and admit you were consciously trying to mislead ?
