So you don't think that a prosecutor, of whatever nation, whose job is to assess evidence impartially, should have added weight given to their pronouncements unless or until there is clear and publicly available evidence that his pronouncements were, after all, wide of the mark?
This article is just over a year old:
German authorities say they have evidence to charge Christian Brueckner, who denies involvement in the British toddler's disappearance
www.telegraph.co.uk
Hans Christian Wolters, the prosecutor in charge of the case, said: “We’re confident we have the man who took and killed [Madeleine]. It is now possible that we could charge. We have that evidence now.”
But Mr Wolters said that with Brueckner currently serving seven years in a German jail for raping a pensioner in Praia da Luz, his team are taking their time to build as strong a case as possible against him before bringing charges.
Hans Wolters is a public prosecutor, not a nobody with an opinion on a message board.
I think we should listen to what he says.
