No statement of my pal with the long german nickname?
C'mon, please do not disappoint me...
I will be as honest as I can even if you don't believe me, I don't have a huge deal of knowledge on the MM case and so I do have to rely on media articles like all of you guys and this is problematic because many articles are just made up.
To further the problem I don't have any particular interest on the MM case by itself, i'm just following like others to see how it will end but by no menas i'm a "fanatic" by this or someone that knows all details and read all stuff and followed all news. I did read more back on 2007/2008 when the case started but for years I didn't pay more attention to it and even now I'm reading the forum/theread and participate only with the goal of seek out information and compile it but information about other cases that are mentioned, and this makes me "scan" some articles very fast and miss many stuff.
For example by mistake i was "influenced" by my fury on that JC guy and did end up writting that CB is investigated for other 4 crimes in Portugal while in fact they are 3 + MM one.
Then I did read his opinion (aparently told by HCW to him - JC) about what those cases did had chance to be charged to CB and I posted here that I would vote for Irish Woman but I was not aware of the many arrticles that are on the net like this :
https://thakoni.com/portuguese-police-have-already-ruled-out-mccann-suspect-in-rape-of-irish-woman/
Claiming CB was "excluded" from Irish woman rape. Also I was not aware of FF claims about CB not having the marks that the woman claimed the rapist have. If FF is telling truth then forget about CB to be charged with that crime.
I'm changing oppinion because I keep reading contradictory stuff on this and I'm not paying that much attention as well, it's completly different story if it's something that you have knowledge about either for official files or friends or working directly on the case so becames confusing.
My vote at this time is that HCW will not be able to charge CB ever. But that doesn't mean that I do think he is clear/not done the MM crime. He was on the place, had motive, could even be there just to rob, etc, so it's plausible to think that he could do the crime but many other guys could do the crime as well and it's well known that the region was full of pedophiles and we don't even know for sure it was a pedophile, etc ... so yes, CB "fits" someone who could do the crime, i did not ruled him out, but because of the actions of HCW i think he will never ever be able to charge him.
