The tapas group and the 'reconstitution' that was never to take place.

[Estuarine]

You never had any doubts...its simple...all the McCann doubters say they should have gone back...and all those who believe the McCanns think they should not have gone...now who would have expected that.

I support the McCanns having looked at all the evidence...perhaps I just have better analytical skills than you

You ducked my question. Do you agree that it is in order for witnesses to dictate to the police that they should be cleared of any suspicion before they turned up for an event whose sole purpose was to determine veracity of statements?
Try answering the question as a principle without any names attached.

[Cariad]

you are assuming wrongly that the reconstruction by the keystone cops was going to help find maddie ...it wasn't...it was simply to try and implicate the mccanns...why is it that neither force think it necessary now

You're assuming wrongly the the reconstruction was to implicate the Mccanns....It wasn't. It was to help find Madeleine.

There, fixed it for you!

The fact of the matter is that neither you nor I am aware of the motivation behind the reconstitution. If it were my child, I would've taken the chance to A, help eliminate myself from the enquiry and B, possibly find my child.

Quite happy to answer the question even though its totally pointless...witnesses have the right to behave exactly as they like within the law...the pj had already lied to the Mccanns.....the tapas didnt trust the pj and in my view were quite right not to....

And you may well have found yourself held on remand for 12 months and found guilty of a crime you did not commit...more fool you

[Cariad]

And you may well have found yourself held on remand for 12 months and found guilty of a crime you did not commit...more fool you

Or I could've eliminated myself from the enquiry and got one step closer to finding my child. I believe that's a chance worth taking.

There was no way they could have been 'fitted up', given the amount of media attention they had courted and generated.

That's because you don't realise that innocent people end up in jail....the pj were not looking for Maddie ,,,they were looking for a scapegoat

[Mr Gray]

There was no way they could have been 'fitted up', given the amount of media attention they had courted and generated.

you are wrong...if they had been arrested...the official line is that even the PM could not interfere with the judicial process

[Air Con]

Sy have seen the Portuguese files...the McCanns are not suspects...

Only in the line of enquiry that got the case reopened.

[Benice]

There was no way they could have been 'fitted up', given the amount of media attention they had courted and generated.

The fact that they were made Arguidos in the first place  would seem to contradict that opinion.

You are still ducking the question of principle.

[Mr Gray]

I have answered the question...the whole point you are trying to make is totally pointless...McCanns not suspects

Well then, you have nothing to worry about, have you.

[Mr Gray]

Well then, you have nothing to worry about, have you.

I certainly have nothing to worry about as I am not a suspect either

[Albertini]

The fact that they were made Arguidos in the first place  would seem to contradict that opinion.

Being made Arguido is not the same as being sent to prison! Evidence would have been presented to a court and they would have had to have been found guilty.

It's hardly being "fitted up".
