Does invoking the right to silence carry with it significant risk?

[Mr Gray]

No one cares about about the 48 questions apart from the deluded who still believe the McCanns are somehow criminally involved in Maddie's disappearance.....

[Gadfly2.1]

Kate's mum and Gerry's sister both believed she would/did answer the questions put.

PM: "But that's not what Kate and Gerry want to do."
PM: "That's certainly not coming from Kate and Gerry and I'd imagine if they refused, which I doubt, to answer questions they were either fatuous or spurious and contemptible."

Fatuous question:  Question 1, On May 3 2007, around 22:00, when you entered the apartment, what did you see? What did you do? Where did you look? What did you touch?

Answer: No comment.

Is it funny to you Sadie that the primary witness in the case would not help the police establish the immediate timeline in a potential abduction inquiry?

What was immediate about this?  It was nearly four months later.

[Gadfly2.1]

The immediate timeline after Kate entered the apartment.

[misty]

The immediate timeline after Kate entered the apartment.

Why was that question not addressed to everyone who accessed the apartment before the CSI officers arrived?
Why was that question not addressed to RM who was witnessed crossing the crime scene tape & entering the apartment the following day?

Hmmm ... so no-one thought to ask this question at the interviews on May 4th?  Bit sloppy that, don't you think?

[Carana]

Yep!

Could you please substantiate that, Montclair? I have certainly seen nothing to that effect.

[Carana]

Unfortunately, that is the way it is. No matter what Kate answered the police could not ask any other questions, only the ones decided beforehand. The same procedure is used in trials here.

Again, could you substantiate that from the CPP?

They no doubt didn't fully understand how the PJ would play it ...

so when kate was asked that by not answering the question she would be harming the search for Maddie......that question had been OKd by a judge...I don't think so

[Alfred R Jones]

So, basically anyone saying that there were more than 48 questions that would have followed on from Kate's prospective replies is talking crap, yes?

I'm also still waiting for verification from the resident expert that the above is correct....

Good point, Brietta.

Why didn't the PJ reschedule Kate's postponed 2nd interview from 10 May to a few days or a week or two later?
