What advantage was achieved by lying about the Huelva trip?

[Robittybob1]

Rather handy that Gerry's stomach upset seemed to have developed straight after he was told that the PJ was going to carry out forensics on the villa.

It was not an excuse, it was a lie and a lie told to the world and demonstrates starkly just how far the McCanns will go to to cover up information they do not want the public to know.

That would give you the shits wouldn't it.  Your stomach would go into overdrive on news like that.  But somehow they say it was a "virus".  What sort of virus Kate?

[faithlilly]

"Just how far"??! "Cover up"??!  Get a grip woman.  "I've got a tummy upset" is not the deception of the century.  You're really making a fool of yourself now IMO.

Was it not to cover up the fact that the PJ were doing forensics?

[Alfie]

Gerry managed a 'no comment' when asked about Murat so why not now? Surely it would have been better than lying?

Good example.  What happened when Gerry said "no comment" in that instance?  A whole new conspiracy was born!

[Alfie]

And who did this really serious and terrible "lie" harm or hurt?

[slartibartfast]

You've never made an excuse for not going somewhere?  So tell us about the lies you have told and why they are no where near as bad as saying you've got a tummy bug and can't go on a planned trip.

Not to the press.

[Alfie]

Even easier to say that the police needed to see them.

Which would have led to frenzied speculation about why the police wanted to see them so urgently they had to cancel a planned trip.

[Alfie]

Not to the press.

So lying to the press = bad, lying to friends and family = not so bad, is that your position?

[ferryman]

Nothing as serious as about the reason for not going somewhere due to the police visiting.

So I'm right.

The McCanns were not keen to advertise to the world that the place they last lived with their daughter before she vanished was about to be invaded by police.

I defy any, here, in identical circumstances, to say they would be.

And I will call into question their honesty.

Apartment 5A had already been checked by then.
So your slur on their honesty fails.

Or was it a PJ tactic to break the McCanns?  They were hoping to turn up there on a day they were going to be away in Huelva.  Once they turned up and found the McCanns had 2 people there doing videoing, no wonder they wanted them to leave.

The search warrant was applied for and obtained on the same day the search was carried out. Do you have evidence they were asked to leave? There were 6 family members plus Jon Corner and, I think, a cameraman. I think some could have gone off with the twins leaving at least a couple to stay if they had wanted to, don't you?

It is on the Panorama documentary Jon Corner states it on video from memory.  Unfortunately it is an hour long.  Some one mentioned it on the forum that they were told to leave.

It was you http://miscarriageofjustice.co/index.php?topic=7877.msg376221#msg376221 ?? 

OK so we have it from Jon and Kate they were asked to leave.

BILTON: He was right to sense a change. On the day filming was due to start the police arrive at the McCann villa. As they pictures show, they would return.

CORNER: They took most of their clothing, they were taking even the wet clothes out of the washing machine. I was aware that the cuddlecat was boxed up and we were asked to leave the villa.

BILTON: The crew?

CORNER: Everybody.

How did you do that so quick?

google "mccanns were asked to leave villa for the dog searches" 

[Robittybob1]

google "mccanns were asked to leave villa for the dog searches" 

OK so they didn't lie about that, unbelievable isn't it.  Yet the search warrant states they are allowed to stay, well at least one of them was.  Shame Jon Corner didn't stay and video them setting up the ruse I believe the PJ set up using Cuddle Cat.
But we know now Cuddle Cat was clean as a whistle.
