How credible are Martin Grimes claims

[faithlilly]

The significant word is... Now..

If he didn't realise its a good job he's a dog handler because he'd be a cr*p detective

Isn’t it ‘know’ ?

[G-Unit]

What unfounded assertions?

Founded on your beliefs rather than on verifiable facts.

No

Founded on your beliefs rather than on verifiable facts.

again, what unfounded assertions?

I just watched the video again.  It’s interesting how excited GRIME seems as soon as he comes up to the McCanns’ car and after Eddie has scampered away.  His voice is twice as loud when calling Eddie back as it was up until that point in the walk through of the other cars. 

Note: this is not an unfounded assertion, it’s an observation based on fact.

So grime's on the hitlist along with GA. 

God forbid there was a conspiracy....or was they all just doing their jobs.

No conspiracy, just bias, unconscious or not.  In my observational opinion (not assertion).

Must agree, it was a bit of a sham really.

Why would he have shown bias?

[Mr Gray]

Why would he have shown bias?

As I recall Grime was tested for confirmation bias and said the result was exactly the one he expected

I’d appreciate it if you could provide further details of the above?

Why would he have shown bias?

Who knows.  The only way that that search could have been carried out without any possibility of bias unconscious or otherwise is if the handler simply had no clue whatsoever that the car he loudly called his dog back to was the one used by the McCanns.  But as it was, there were big glaring clues all over it, not to mention the fact that this car was already a well known part of the McCann saga. Now tell me that there is no such thing as handler bias in the use of sniffer dogs.

What did Grimes have to gain? He already had the gig…and any publicity that was generated by it for his new venture. In fact the alerts without forensic corroboration ( which Grime would know wouldn’t be forthcoming if the alerts were manufactured) would have harmed rather than helped his new venture.

It simply doesn’t make sense.
