Supreme Court rules against the McCanns in damages case.

and you are deluded if you dont realise what a bungled investigation the pj carried out

We will never know how the investigation would have progressed had it not been interfered with.

[barrier]

Why on earth would the Policia Judiciaria wait for any foreign force to play catch up or anything else with them other than an exchange of information?

The PJ have primacy.  It is their case.

Correct,whilst the MET engage on their magical mystery tour spending millions there is nothing to indicate that the PJ are involved,they have let the met have a long rope and its tightening,the PJ have played a blinder.

Hmmm,the mighty MET have now at their head the officer in command of the bungled operation that lead to the murder of an innocent man on the London underground,perhaps they are made for each other.

Who, who and when?

Look it up.

No that is why I said why the secrecy.  He was worried he would be pinged for libel!

Who, who and when?

This report about the fallibility of memory refers to him.

Quote

In a crime situation memory is influenced by many factors such as stress, the presence of a weapon and even just the desire to help police solve the crime.

"Police know how fallible the memory can be," says Steve Retford, a former head of the investigative skills unit at GMP and now specialist interviewing adviser with the force.

"They also know this is usually not through mischievousness on the part of the witnesses, but through stress and shock."

Take the case of Jean Charles de Menezes, shot at Stockwell Tube station in 2005 by police who mistook him for a suicide bomber.

Eyewitnesses said he had vaulted a ticket barrier when running away from the police. In fact it was later shown by CCTV that Mr Menezes had walked through the barriers, having picked up a free newspaper, and only ran when he saw his train arriving.

OK I thought he might be referring to that incident.  So how does that fit into the rest of Barrier's post?
"Hmmm,the mighty MET have now at their head the officer in command of the bungled operation that lead to the death of an innocent man on the London underground,perhaps they are made for each other."

So the person who is the head may not be the officer who pulled the trigger.

If you bother to read actually read you will see I likened the the new head of the MET as being in the commander in charge of an operation that lead to the death of an innocent man on the London underground,this fits in nicely with the perceived( bungled by some) investigation into Madeleines disappearance,suitable bed fellows.I'm not saying that MET officers are bunglers but they belong to a force led by one who led a bungled operation.

I expect the Met do good work, but they've had their share of bungled investigations too. The one under discussion, Jill Dando, Stephen Lawrence, Stephen Port, and a deliberately bungled investigation by Ryan Coleman-Farrow to name but a few.

That is exactly why I thought you should have made your points clear right from the start.  You were suggesting stuff and leaving it up to the readers.  Bad!

I can'tell post the link now , but there appears to be an interesting perspective on the Morais site as regards the Mccann'support attempt at the appeal against their 'frivolity allegation'.

If I have read it correctly, , the Judges could take action against the Mccann's for defamation.

Will they bother or just brush them aside, as you would an insect ?

Wait wait wait, there is money to be made.

Not for the McCanns, there isn't.  Very much a Pyrrhic victory at best and most likely a humiliating slap down.
