Will this ever be over? Maybe it will.

Let us hope so, she never deserved that but at least she will be at rest.

a 9 year old thread? - for that?
you need to give the bucky a rest, bampot.

I thought it was a good spot.

Recently on FB a friend posted a meme entitled "How much do you love children". Saville at one end of the scale, McCanns at the other....

Ohhh no - we were getting so close in cracking the case

1/3. Please try harder next time.

I am trying hard right now to manage movement to a new bigger office

I hold the view that her behavior in refusing to answer all these not unreasonable questions like
"37 Do you work in the daytime? " does not make her look like an innocent person and given that questions were raised about their guilt in this, then it seems crazy to refuse answering questions. The lawyers would certainly advise not to answer questions if answering them can self incriminate.

Oh the bad laywers are at fault here...

No. I said that the lawyer had advised quite correctly. From which you should infer that I don't consider a) that the lawyer was at fault, nor b) the lawyer was bad.

In my view refusing to answer all or nearly all questions is behavior of a accused/charged person who wishes to maintain silence in order to avoid self incrimination.

However, it has been a standard of British justice for many years, and that of other jurisdictions, that remaining silent is not to be taken as evidence of guilt. In fact it is now part of the ECHR. Of course, being in the minority doesn't automatically make your view moronic.

If she was a witness then refusing to answer these questions then witness is potentially obstructing justice.

But she wasn't a witness, she was a suspect, and was asked these questions while under caution, so your point is irrelevant.

She was probably advised by her lawyer, quite correctly, not to answer any questions while she was a suspect.

The whole case seems rather odd to me and to be honest I'm still think they had something to do with it, but that's all it is - my personal thoughts.

And that is exactly what those Portuguese Police would have you believe. Due to the drip drip drip nature of this kind of propaganda my thoughts now are that them Police are somehow involved...

People do daft things, they have mixed motives. In real life there are often apparent discrepencies. All those oddities could be because, for example, they weren't in a bar, but were taking part in a wild orgy in the cellar, or a bible study, and didn't want people to find out.

Seems like a reasonable list of questions some of which one might refuse to answer, however refusing them all is suspicious at the very least.

She was probably advised by her lawyer, quite correctly, not to answer any questions while she was a suspect. She didn't answer these questions when they were put to her under caution - but has she answered them since? Or even before?

I do hope you never end up in front of a copper, 'cause with that attitude he'll have you banged up dead easy, almost certainly for something you didn't do.

You make that sound like a bad thing.

But you're right. The police are not trying to find the truth of what happened, they just want a result. A crime has been committed, someone has been convicted. It's just serendipitous if the convict actually was guilty. Having had one experience with the way the police twist what is said under caution, I will always exercise my right to remain silent. If I'm not under caution, I will be cooperative and helpful.
