Australia Australia - William Tyrrell, 3, Kendall, Nsw, 12 Sept 2014 - #38

He did have success in that the matter was sent to jury with the judge agreeing with Spedding's assertion on a major part of the suit.

I'll word it a different way then - The only success he's had is that he gets to have a matter go to the jury - he also had an application dismissed - he hasn't won any case at this stage.

Sometimes I wonder if Margaret is like some US presidential wives. "You must come with me to show your support". Because I am not sure why a man would drag his wife through the media scrums of his child sex charges. It can't be good for her (in her small community) to be on full display in the media like that.
In my way of thinking, a real man would leave his wife at home to protect her - and just walk with his lawyer, or by himself, to and fro.

Is this being judgemental? Margaret may have been there to support her husband. I know in my personal situation we would support each other through anything and everything no matter the circumstance.

I’m not sure I understand what you mean. Please elaborate.

With respect. Walk a mile in the Speddings's shoes. Everyone is innocent until proven guilty in a lawfully convened Court. They have been hounded.

Hi PT, I think that was from the link i posted up and have been reading of the CI's and the Coroner's findings on that website too. Just the cases on there of missing presumed deceased, and did you read the one about the guy that had been through a criminal Trial and was acquitted, and then the Coronial Inquest? It was interesting how the police set him up too. Here is the link if you want to read it if you haven't already.

Very interesting case. Dumb idea to use the old sting that has been doing the rounds for years.

Am I missing something. Where in the article does it state the Speddings had requested O'Keefe to record the interview.

I said that I quite plainly remember it being reported on the news at the time that the Speddings had requested Chris to record the interview. Maybe they thought it would be good PR. Who knows? Anyway, I was quite surprised. If it were me, there is no way I would’ve made more of a drama than was already in existence as a result of the searches of their home and business. Rookie mistake IMO.

I disagree they’ve been hounded (I presume you mean by MSM). By talking to the media after the ‘raids’ and posting a video on FB, Spedding became his own worst enemy as far as MSM was concerned. He invited their intrusion. Any reasonably intelligent adult should know that if you play with the media, you get burnt.

And, I don’t have an opinion about Spedding’s guilt or innocence. Everyone here knows that or should do by now.

All MOO.

 

[they'll get you]

You would think so. Protect the one you love.
Now did he forget he had coffee with his wife at that crucial time? Or just that the coffees were paid by card?

That’s what I want to know.
Coffee, school and whereabouts.

 

[purpleandgreen]

Just to clarify, you asked me for a link to "Insinuations".
Insinuations are a sly, subtle, and usually derogatory utterance.
So a little bit more than a common opinion, IMO.

Oh I know what they are; I have a good command of the English language. But you said that there were insinuations on the thread, hence I asked for the link to support your statement.


Links: Links are required if requested. Be prepared to supply a link if you state something as fact.

What?
Does it really matter? Requested or agreed.
Marg and Bill were talking into Chris OKeefes microphone while that camera was rolling. Therefore. a recorded interview...imo

 

[sosocurious]

That’s what I want to know.
Coffee, school and whereabouts.

BS refused to discuss his whereabouts in that Chris Okeefe recorded interview. Did we know about the coffee and school then? Or did Col tell us that later?

It worked as recently as 2016 though:

An elaborate police sting known as 'the Mr Big scenario' helped snare a killer

You know what ‘they’ say; ‘There’s [one] born every minute.’

Reports say 22/23 January 2015. (Notice my bolded part, perhaps Spedding forgot about the coffee until the bank statement was looked at?)

“He was in Laurieton, he never went near Kendall,” Colin Youngberry claimed yesterday.

On the morning William disappeared, Mr Spedding was supposed to be at the house to carry out repairs, but he was unable to contact William’s grandmother by phone, Mr Youngberry says.

Instead, at that “crucial time” when William went missing, the Speddings were sitting at the Buzz Cafe in Laurieton, 10km from Kendall, according to Mr Youngberry.

“They have got proof that they were at the cafe because he paid for the coffees by card,” he said.

Mr Spedding and his wife then attended a presentation across the road at Laurieton Primary School, where one of the grandchildren was receiving an award.

Investigators were not aware of this detail before they questioned Mr Spedding this week, Mr Youngberry said.

“But I’ve downloaded the receipt and he (Mr Spedding) has now got it in his hot little hand,” he said.

“You order your coffee and you pay for it straight away, so it covers a reasonable period and it is a very crucial time.”

WS staff are exceptionally busy with other very active threads, and we really wouldn't like to close a thread, but ...

If members don't drop the pettiness, the snipes, semantics, hair-splitting, and attitudes in this thread, we can close it and go with a Media *No Discussion* thread.

Thanks SA. So the Spedding’s TV interview and Col’s Australian interview were around the same time. I wonder if that’s when Rodney’s interview was also published?

And OPs wonder why BS has had so much attention from MSM. Sheesh! It was a veritable media blitz by him and his supporters. Again, rookie mistake.

As is being interviewed by police without a lawyer present. Any reasonably intelligent adult should know that. That sage advice has been doing the rounds for years.

Again, all MOO.

 

[Wexford]

Yes wouldn't that be the best outcome.
A known person or unknown person being charged in relation to the disappearance of William.

And of course, where is William?

 

[Bohemian]

And of course, where is William?

I’m losing hope that his loved ones will ever know.

The most important detail of all.

Don't lose hope, Bo. I know it's hard sometimes, but we need to stay positive. Imagine how crippling it must be for his families. Insert tear emoji.
