How credible are Martin Grimes claims

[Venturi Swirl]

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.

His name is Grime and I never claimed the alerts were manufactured.

What does HCW have to gain from making CB a "patsy"?  And yet some people think that is exactly what he is doing.  If he can't provide the evidence to secure a conviction then he looks incompetent or malicious, does that make any sense to you?

So you must believe that Grimes bias was subconscious?

I don’t think he is settling Brueckner up as a patsy so perhaps ask someone who does think that?

I don’t have a firm belief in any direction, simply that because the car was plastered in Madeleine posters that bias, unconscious or not cannot be ruled out.  And for Grime to say he didn’t know the car was the McCanns is simply laughable.

Why do you think he’s going after CB for Madeleine’s murder then?  Because unless he has very compelling evidence then my point remains.

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

Then you're not as smart as you think you are

Focusing on a suspect to the exclusion of all others does not mean that compelling evidence exists but simply that the police force believe that there is evidence to be found.

Most miscarriages of justice begin in this way.

I think you displaying a sense of humour caught her somewhat off guard.

Davel did a funny about confirmation bias but I'm afraid it flew right over you.

The man is a comic genius but I prefer not to get deflected from the point.

you’re missing the point completely but never mind.

Lol, that’s your excuse and you’re sticking with it.
