On
11 April 2008, Clarence Mitchell made this bold claim: “Kate and Gerry
have been utterly honest and utterly open with the police and all of
their statements from the moment that Madeleine was taken”. He later
said, referring to himself and the McCanns: ‘We have nothing to hide’.
When addressing a largely student
audience during what were called ‘The Coventry Conversations’, Mitchell
said: “We are always willing to co-operate with the Portuguese police”“Kate
and Gerry have been utterly honest and utterly open with the police and
all of their statements from the moment that Madeleine was
taken
Qualifiers are words which, when removed do not change the
meaning of the sentence. here we have the qualifier UTTERLY which
weakens the statement, it is repeated twice further weakening the
statement and making their honesty and openness with the police highly
sensitive.
Mitchell
said: “We are always willing to co-operate with the Portuguese police”.
Qualifiers are words which, when removed do not change the
meaning of the sentence.
Here he uses the qualifier ALWAYS as well as
using the future conditional WILLING.
He doesn't tell us the mccanns are cooperating with the police, only that they are willing.
This willingness is weakened by the qualifier ALWAYS.
Anyone can be always willing to do something, it doesn't mean they will, it depends on the circumstances.
I may be willing to swim the channel, it doesn't mean i will or can.
It would depend on how fit i am , the weather, the cost, support etc.
Why does he include himself in relation to cooperating with the police?
Has he himself been questioned in regard to what he knows regarding Maddie?
As their spokesman, he would be privy to a lot of stuff the mccanns don't want the public and especially the police to know.
What
they would be willing to do to cooperate with the police would be based
on them not incriminating themselves, guilty knowledge or consequences
to themselves and possibly others such as their children.
Given
that we know they have been anything but open and honest with the
police, kate not answering the 48 questions, them not doing the
reconstruction despite being legally obliged to as arguidos, by getting
their tapas chums to set so many demands and requirements as to make it
impossible to do and thus they don't have to do it.
They
lied about the checks, the neglect( the children were all in one
apartment being watched by which ever adult who was allegedly sick, they
withheld their medical and financial records, hired lawyers first thing
and did everything they could to obfuscate, derail and generally stop
the investigation in its tracks, even to suing the lead detective (now
retired) when he told the world Maddie was dead and they were involved ,
this is despite both kate and gerry telling the world the same thing.
When they are arrested and charges are laid against them and the tapas 7 , will we see clarrie in the dock as well charged with obstruction and perverting the course of justice?
Every
time they, clarrie or their tapas chums or family members open their
mouths, more of the truth is leaked out., for which i and many other
statement analysts and forensic linguists are eternally grateful.
Nice succinct piece. Thanks.
