Did Gonçalo Amaral misinterpret the evidence?

[Eleanor]

These questions are getting silly now.

If you ask a stupid question you may be stupid for five minutes, if you don't ask you may be stupid all your life.

[Eleanor]

I shall be deleting any further silly questions.

[Mr Gray]

You said they had no value? Why would you evaluate something with no value?

You don't know they have no value until you evaluate them

[G-Unit]

They were evaluated and found to have no value.

The alerts weren't evidence, but they were intelligence according to Bob Small;

the British police regarded the use of sniffer dogs as intelligence rather than evidence

Who carried it out, and when were the alerts in Praia Da Luz evaluated Eleanor?

I have no idea.  You would have to ask The PJ.  But it was obviously done at some point because no further action was taken.

SY reviewed the evidence and decided Maddie could  still be alive so obviously  do not think the alerts confirm Maddie's death

I would think SY are a very good judge on the significance of the alerts

They also decided she could be dead. They sound a little unsure to me.

Are they covering their bases?  Either she is dead or alive, both possible.

[Vertigo Swirl]

Which just goes to show how much store they set by the dog alerts.  “May be alive, may be dead”,  one could deduce this without the dog alerts at all.

Precisely... The alerts changed nothing to those who understand... Imo

Davel seemed to think that OG said Madeleine might be alive meant that they had dismissed the dog alerts. I simply reminded him that they also said she might be dead. There's also the digging, of course.
