Wandering Off Topic

This is an example of the misinformation I was talking about.

If you have any evidence that the PJ knew of the date and content of these changes, it is time to provide it.

Unless Kate's book is wrong, Carlos Pinto de Abreu didn't see it coming and didn't forewarn the McCanns. And it was his job to know of such changes.

Otherwise your argument is speculation, pure and simple.

Are you seriously suggesting that the police would know nothing of a change to the law due to occur a mere couple of weeks later which would directly affect the way they handle suspects in the future?

That's what I was wondering. If the changes came as a last-minute surprise to the nation's entire criminal legal system, then there was a problem. IMO.

It would certainly point to a highly disorganised system, if true.

The fact is that sometimes an innocent person takes the right to silence

Cite for the innocent mother of a missing kid refusing police questions?

What difference does it make?

The McCanns had already announced their departure date.

How did you work that out?

Innocent... Are you not aware

So how do you know?

It's in the book! Bob Small told the police they were leaving on 10th September.

So you believe Kate on that point.

Amaral said the same. Independent confirmation.

You posted as fact that sometimes an innocent person takes the right to silence and by inference you implied that Kate McCann was such a person.  The McCann case aside, I asked you to cite an example of where the innocent mother of a missing child refused to cooperate with the police.  I think you will have trouble finding such an example because in the real world this just doesn't happen.

I didnt imply anything...I stated a fact...you made an incorrect inference...I stated that it is possible for an innocent person to take the right to silence...that is a fact. You are asking for a cite for something I didnt post
