Analysis of the timeline

[mercury]

I have already ... you may have missed it or misunderstood it.

Your efforts are concentrated on innocent people ... who have been thoroughly investigated.

then provide a cite to any official authority that has concluded they are innocent, you cant, because it does not exist, not from the pj, not from the judiciary, not from sy or lp

[Brietta]

Thoroughly would imply all investigative measures had been taken, right?

The answer to that lies with the Amaral investigation initially and as we know no stone was left unturned when it came to investigating the McCanns and their friends.
Do you think they would have failed to carry out all investigative measures? ... starting with ... the timeline.

I never cease to be amazed about ignorance of the right to the presumption of innocence ... disregard of it is something which will cost Mr Amaral dear should his appeal be unsuccessful.

not to mention the 2008 submission to the family division of the high court in London

The rght to be presumed innocent is not the same as they ARE innocent as proclaimed by your goodself and others

[mercury]

nor that submission to a court in London.

Ah, the no clear evidence whether either ne or both are innocent? Yes, not forgetting that
And iirc this was part of the LP police case aganst givng all their files to the mccanns, in an ongoing investigation and while they were arguidos, couldnt make it up

I'll look forward to Kate and Gerry donating the money to the Missing People charity. 

“We are delighted with the judge’s verdict today. We want to emphasise the action was never about money."  Guess who said that in 2015.  Let's see what happens.  Could be a wonderful act of philanthropy.

Launching that private legal case cost MF donators dear

Definitely untrue - as proven by this cite:

For example, the Portuguese authorities were particularly unhappy that: "Despite national authorities assuming all measures to render their trip to Portugal viable, for unknown motives, after the many doubts that they raised about the necessity and opportunity of their trip were clarified several times, they chose not to attend, which rendered the diligence inviable." Cite Section E, Archiving Report addressed to the Attorney General: http://www.mccannpjfiles.co.uk/PJ/LEGAL_SUMMARY.htm

Maybe a better metaphor might be a Portuguese detective attempting to turn the stone over, only for a number of people to sit on the said stone.

You must be having a laff. They are the only argudios in this case that have refused to answer questions to prove their innocence.

... definitely nothing to do with a meeting in a stone building which according to a spokesperson "was just to discuss the overall situation"

You are accusing me of an untruth ... that is against forum rules.

Read my post carefully.

I have clearly said the Amaral investigation.  The cite you have chosen to refute that refers to events of the Rebelo investigation.

Time to get back on topic ... Analysis of the timeline

[Brietta]

Please stick to the topic of the thread.

Thank you, but I already knew your opinion. Your mind may be made up, but mine isn't.

Until you realise that the twice translated mom verbatim statements are not an accurate account of what the McCanns actually said you will not be able to reach a conclusion
