Has Martin Smith Changed his Opinion ?

[G-Unit]

So your view is that a witness identifying someone with a high degree of certainty is worthless.

Redwood liked the irish family's sighting enough to publicise it, so he obviously didn't agree with davel.

Since when has 60-80% EVER been considered "a high degree of certainty"?!

Or the Mccanns who only paid lip service to it on one or two occasions ver 9 years

I don't remember Davel ever disputing that the motionless child the Irish group saw was possibly the missing child?

Lots of men have the same stature as Gerry McCann but it was his name which was mentioned. The only person confused is you. Martin Smith was quite clear about his opinion and why he held it. Mannerisms, not stature. 'Like an action replay' of his sighting.

The whole Smith TV thingy was not about WHO the man was, but the way the man carried the little girl ... and it happened to be Gerry who carried his little son in a similar manner that triggered the memory.  Could have been anyone. 

Leading questions would have been asked, probably twisting the scenario in Mr Smiths mind.  We have all witnessed twisting techniques used on here!   My bet is that a fair bit of pressure was put on Smith by Amaral to get that 60-80% figure


BTW,
Gerry is NOT 5'9 - 5'11" tall.  He is a damned sight taller.  I have stood right next to him, talking to him.  I remember him as being well over 6ft tall. 

? 6'1"

Does Clarence play basketball Sadie?  Gerry is definitely the shortest here and looks under 6ft.

Last time you mentioned this Sadie , you mentioned 6' 2''.

Is he shrinking or just coming up short

I thought Amaral was long gone by the time Mr Smith gave his 60-80% statement.

Yes Amaral was gone. MS made his statement 60-80% on 23 January 2008. Amaral left the case on 2 October 2007.

Is asking a member of OP task ring him back. He was with group of 9 family and friends the night he saw the male in Portugal. He sounded quite worried and shaken whilst speaking to me.

Maybe sometimes wears high heels

he didn't see his face...would you call 60% a high degree of certainty.....he isn't sure,...that is not a high degree of certainty

Rewdwood didn't think it was Gerry

[jassi]

That doesn't make the  Smith sighting any less important.

from memory, I would have an educated guess at over 6' 1" ... so 6'2" fits the bill ... cos it is just an educated guess.

Shall we say, 6' 1 - 6'2 ?  imo

[Mr Gray]

That doesn't make the  Smith sighting any less important.

I didn't say it wasn't ...his opinion that it was Gerry isnt
