that the police, will not say they are publicaly, because it would not look good for the police to say this untill such time as they can back it up with evidence.
and thats whats happening at to moment,, the police are gathering evidence

hi angel,, he is trying to convince people that this is the case.
what amazes me is that he takes what the police says about them not being suspects, and agrees with it,,and in the same light ,he wont agree when they say they beleive that the child died in the apartment.
now he either beleives the police or he does not.

saftey i maske it a point not to try and speak with child neglecters
2007-08-26 06:03:58 · update #3
toietmoi, i did not say they did not have evidence, i said they are gathering evidence
2007-08-26 06:05:49 · update #4
obviously if they are suspects the pj would not want to announce it to the world and raise caution to the mccann's. i agree with you when you say ther are gathering evidence to support their theory.

Methinks he doth protest too much.
Lets put it this way, when a small child has done something they know is wrong, they invariably drop themselves in it, by immediately denying any involvement, BEFORE ANYONE ASKS. I'm not suggesting that the McCann's WERE involved in anything more sinister than the actual neglect of their children, but by constantly reassuring us, (or themselves?) that they are innocent, they are making themselves look guilty.
BTW, WHY is it so "tasteless" to even suggest hypothetically, that the McCanns MAY have been involved in their daughters disappearance and/or death? Parents hurt or kill their own children all the time, we have had three high-profile cases in the UK in the last few months, to suggest that because they are grieving they should not be considered suspects is pathetic. If an investigation is going to be thorough and complete, EVERYONE who came in contact with Madeleine on this holiday SHOULD be considered.
Is it that the Rabid Pro-McCanner's want this case to be solved AS LONG as the McCann's didn't have anything to do with it? Surely, that's putting their interests above Madelienes?
Although, making themselves a higher priority than their children isn't exactly a first for the McCann's is it?

I'd like to answer with a rhethorical question...
(which is an answer in itself...)
Um...so basically if what you're saying is that the Police do have to keep the investigation private and they don't let on unless they have evidence, WHY OH! WHY.... can't you understand that Gerry can't let on to us the public that they have PRIVATE investigators searching for his Madeleine???
and that evidence being gathered by them is as yet also PRIVATE?????????????
Gerry McCann isn't just defending himself when he repeats that they are not suspects...he knows that public support is vital for his Madeleine. You really don't understand this...don't you?

I thought exactly the same. The police are getting all their evidence together and watching the reactions of the McCanns, especially Gerry when things don't exactly go his way.I also think they are keeping Murat as suspect status so as to lull the Mc's into a false sense of security.

The use of terms like 'suspect' have a very different meaning and a specific legal status in Portugal. Describing them as suspects would be the equivalent of somewhere between cautioning them and charging them in the UK

Gerry keeps saying it because newspapers (mainly in Portugal) keep saying that they are suspects. The Portuguese system is very different from the British and American system, they don't tell the press anything, but if they interview you, with a view to charging you, they have to tell you. Here you would be given the 'warning, anything you say etc...' and would be allowed to have a lawyer and say nothing.

If they'd been in this country they'd all have been charged and bailed while the police carried on with their enquiries.
The Portuguese work differently in that they're all witnesses then when charged they become 'official' suspects.
At the moment they're witnesses while the PJ carry on with their enquiries. They could become suspects at any time if the investigation changes. Gerry is quite right - at the moment, they're not 'official' suspects.

im with angel on this. ... why does he always repeat that the police say they are not suspects, does he think that if he says it enough then itll come true?
anyways, the police arent going to say to them "we think your suspects but we havent got enough evidence yet but dont disappear on us, just in case" ???

I suppose it could be that. The police have already made themselves look very foolish over Robert Murat.

He is saying that in response to accusations in the press. What else can he say? He is not privy to all the police information.
