Has Martin Smith Changed his Opinion ?

[ferryman]

You made a claim ferryman, a claim you have yet to provide one scintilla of proof for. Can you provide proof ?

Your inability (or, more likely, refusal) to accept the obvious and logical conclusion that Martin Smith would not produce an efit of a man he thought was Gerry (and neither his wife) is your problem, not mine.

I'll leave you to work that out for yourself Homer or are you the one with the little yellow head like a paper bag?

If I were Homer I would have written d'oh! but as I'm not I didn't, and I have worked it out, thanks.

I wouldn't bank on it.
How did the reporter know the Smiths had given statements to the Portuguese police? According to Amaral. the 3 family members  were secretly flown over.

Do you understand the process of producing an e-fit? The features are chosen (eyes, hair, ears, nose, mouth) from templates and then assembled into a complete face. So the witness may not see the whole face until the end of the process.

What does that have to do with the question of whether Martin Smith has changed his opinion?

You said he wouldn't produce an e-fit of Gerry McCann, but it may not have looked like that until it was finished. Think of it as a jigsaw without a picture to work from, you see the complete picture only at the end.

The Met solved a case of illicit transportation by a pedestrian in Brighton is that a seaside resort?

I agree with Ferryman, the 2 efits are not by M and M Smith

Martin Smith (initially) formed an impression that he may have seen Gerry long before efits were even entertained.

Then he was approached by Brian Kennedy (and invited to produce an efit) but refused (because he believed he had seen Gerry).

The only, conceivable, reason why he (then) changed his mind (and agreed to produce an efit) is because events (and the course of the enquiry, which he no doubt followed closely) persuaded him he was mistaken.

if that 's meant to be a put down I'm afraid I'm too dumb to get it, soz la!

We are not quite in agreement, because I think they did produce the efits after (both) being persuaded that they were mistaken (in their initial impressions!) that the man might be Gerry; and with the intention of assisting efforts to establish the identity of the man the Smiths all saw ....

Ok Ferryman I understand now.
Do you think both efits are of the same man?
