Do the sceptics simply misunderstand the evidence

[faithlilly]

I think that's, a pretty damning condemnation of the alerts.. Don't you

So no cite ?

If I've said little it's not enough  for you to form an opinion... What particularly

I can form an opinion whenever I like.

Abduction can be proved on the balance of possibilities, taking all the evidence into account.. Imo

I don't think abduction can be proved at all.  The only reliable evidence which exists indicates the child left the apartment under her own steam which might very well have resulted in an abduction thereafter.

[John]

I have provided a cite that the Court of Appeal considered the dog alerts to be a valuable piece of evidence. Can you provide a cite, other than the obviously upset family, that the Scottish Criminal Cases Review Commission considered the dog’s evidence ‘unreliable’ ?

I don't think anyone should pay much attention to the SCCRC as they have no credibility whatsoever IMHO.

Which would make mccanns, totally responsible.

that isnt what the portugues police...who had all the information concluded in their final report....they said that was highly unlikely

[Mr Gray]

The family are quoting the report...if you want to speculate they are lying...

so can I ..and I have formed an opinion of you...

That's like blaming US parents for sending their children to school knowing full well they could be shot by a deranged gunman. The risk is high - 17 school shootings in the first 45 days of 2018.

Nothing like it at all. In the shooting cases there are identified culprits, whereas there is no identified culprit in the McCann case.

So the risk taken is not negligence when a perpetrator can be identified & brought to justice, despite the end result to the victim?

I don't misunderstand anything.... Harrison went further and said no inferences could be drawn from the alerts..
I know, what no evidential  value or reliability mean

 no evidential or intelligence reliability can be made from these alerts unless they can be confirmed with
corroborating evidence.

Leaving a child home alone is a parental choice. Sending children to school is a legal requirement.

sending a child to school is not  a legal requirement...just being picky
