CMTV Gonçalo Amaral - O Enigma - with English subtitles

[G-Unit]

good detectives rely on evidence........what you are saying is that amaral relied on his intuition which is fine to guide an investigation but not to reach conclusions.....that is a disgrace and very poor policing. What amaral has proved is taht he has no evidence against the mccanns.....its about time he admitted it and stopped saying thisngs that are not true

The McCanns aroused many people's suspicions, not just Amaral's.

A video has been posted....it is therefore raesonable to expect critique of that video to be allowed.
I have pointed out several blatant untruths in the video which no one has sought to defend ...asking the question as to why amaral is peddling this rubbish is quite reasonable.

If moderators dont want teh video questioned it should be removed

Give the time references. Or do you expect others to comb the whole video to see what you're talking about?

The McCanns aroused many people's suspicions, not just Amaral's.

Lack of evidence is the issue. Not having enough to arrest and charge... some people just refuse to accept that Maddie is still missing, and has been looked for  globally and by two police forces, and Private Investigators. NO EVIDENCE OF ADBUCTORS. none- not an ounce. What does that tell you?

[ferryman]

I suspect you know very well that Amaral espoused several theories, he did not state categorically that this happened or that happened.  As to what he got wrong, no proof has been provided one way or another.  It is unknown what happened to the child, Amaral's qualified opinion is as valid as anyone elses at this juncture in time.

When anyone espouses theories, they should at least be:

A/ half-competent

B/ At the very least not directly contradicted by the facts

C / Not demeaning of the reputations of people against whom there is no credible evidence.

And no, MTI, absence of evidence to support anything (Amaral) claims is the problem

You mean you didn't notice when you watched it?

It tells me that Madeleine is still missing.

I would have thought that those with knowledge of the case would be aware of these and certainly if you have watched the video...have you watched it and whats your opinion on it

[G-Unit]

Re-telling personal recollection of fast-moving, and particularly stressful, events is never simple.

In your opinion. I can see no reason why truth becomes difficult when stress is involved. You SIMPLY say what you remember and if you can't remember you say so.

Amaral is stating things as facts and not saying things are his opinion...he uses phrases such as...of that there is no doubt...that aint opinion

Opinion be damned.  Well-tested research and empirical evidence proves the point

what is not valid is the evidence amaral uses to support his theories...it is plainn wrong

I'm not combing through it to find the points you have thrown out. I don't even know it they are in there.

[Mr Gray]

I'm not combing through it to find the points you have thrown out. I don't even know it they are in there.

So you haven't watched it?  Why are you commenting?
