Madeleine McCann: German Prisoner Identified as Suspect, #41

[Davieson]

I feel a bit for the residents of PDL - there has been a cloud of pressure on that area (even when searches aren’t being made) since 2007. Blame is extremely easy to attribute with the benefit hindsight but it doesn’t make things easier for those people now.

I don’t think forensics, or as CB puts it “traces”, will ever be found unless CB confesses. And at this current time that will only happen if he’s in for life. A successful appeal in one or the rape cases would be the only way to make this happen. But the prospect of either thread of the appeal being successful are low.

However, he’s a serial non preferential offender with a history of sex crimes spanning several years. As the court psychiatrist pointed out, the likelihood he’ll commit another sex crime is very high. When that happens, if they can get him behind bars in Germany then they’ll get that confession because they’ll leverage a better prison for a confession. CB would take that deal because it would be in his interest.

Eventually this will all happen, it’s just a matter of whether it’s soon or whether it’ll be years from now.

I believe he was the Prosecutor's psychiatrist, not one appointed by the court.

Based on the psychiatric report, I would advocate to place him in a psychiatric hospital.

That report was an addendum to the guilty verdict, imo,without it the report is meaningless.Not forgetting CB was never interviewed.

 

[frank-cole]

Understand and agree with your point, but curiously, if he, in fact, gets free, maybe his confession will arrive sooner...(?!)
Several will try, but there may be also a high risk of him being eliminated quickly.

That’s why I think he will flea. He’ll forever be front and centre when it comes to the McCann case. There’s no removing him from the equation now.

 

[frank-cole]

I was referring to the CB investigation… appropriate IMO.

You never miss a beat on trying to morally punish people. Why do you do that?

We just have different views on something no one - at least on this forum - knows the answer to.

Due to a message I received -I cannot post things in a certain manner. Therefore I will refrain from highlighting hypocrisy & will not be summarising why there’s currently an uplift in pro-CB rhetoric

I recommend you read the rules too, especially the parts about conspiracy chatter not being permitted.

It doesn't really matter if it was legally an addendum or not. And to be honest i dont think it was. Most probably it was the psychiatrist the prosecution delegated to produce a psychiatric profile of CB. irrespective or not of the verdict which was not in his hands.

The fact that a psychiatrist spent months going though 20000 pages of documentation on CB to reach a conclusion means much more than an interview where he would most probably not respond. Jmo

Do you doubt that CB is a dangerous psychopath? He has already been convicted for sexual abuse of girls and women and is a convicted paedophile. Would you want him living on your street, close to your mother, sister, wife, partner, friend, daughter, niece?

They walk amongst us, it matters not what we might think, the system allows for prisoners to walk after serving sentences, as a sexual offender did he receive any kind of rehabilitation programme ? not seen any mention of that .

Also it was not an independent psychiatrist rather a prosecution one who was bound to side on the prosecution, why else bring him in.

But we're off track, it's about his supposed link to MM.

Correct. Possibly a paid expert witness.

Bud, there are moderators, let them be judge of what’s allowed. Your sanctimonious comments are unwarranted.

No, he’s a cretin of the worse order. However, that doesn’t mean a prosecution witness statement from a psychiatrist (was he definitely a medical doctor or was he a psychologist) based on secondary information i.e. no assessment is sacrosanct. A defence witness would almost certainly give an alternative assessment. The judge would have been aware of this… I’m not sure it’s possible but she may have been able to make a recommendation for further detention/medical or otherwise if she truly thought he was a threat to society. She found him not guilty and allowed him to be free after serving his penalty - that decision, made by a legal expert, should be respected IMO.

Maddie cops hone in on abandoned buildings & drop wider search as hunt mounts

POLICE hunting for Madeleine McCann have scrapped plans to scour wider areas and are now zeroing in on a cluster of derelict buildings in Portugal. Officers confirmed the new focus comes after key …

www.thesun.co.uk

Video shows one derelict building is cleared in readiness for radar search and that the search areas have been reduced. Inside view of the derelict shells of buildings.

Reducing the search areas feels quite significant or worrying if they have simply realised they do not have time to explore all other sites!

The assessment was carried out by Dr. Christian Rhideman. He is medically trained and also a published academic. He works at the below institution which is largely concerned with alcoholic male criminal rehabilitation.

Whether this means anything in relation to CB’s assessment, I’m not sure but the doctor is certainly an expert.

His subjective view based entirely on secondary research was that CB was among the top 1-2% most dangerous compared to ~1,000 other offenders. To judge the validity of the claim, we would need to understand who made up this peer group.

Rolling out the same old.

Helge Busching, a former friend of Brueckner, first linked the German to her abduction as long ago as 2008 - just a year after she disappeared.

Busching told MailOnline: 'I am convinced Brueckner is involved. There has to now be some hope for Madeleine's parents.'

I don't think she could recommend medical incarceration. These are different proceedings from what I understand. I definitely respect the doctor's assessment, as he studied in detail the documentation on CB. it is my opinion that it is an injustice to society and to women and girls of all ages for this person to be living among us. The same as I think for any paedophile, rapist, and psychopath who harms others. But even more so for a person whom a doctor thinks is among the most dangerous of them all. Anyway, this is not the topic of this thread. I offered an alternative in an ideal society- my opinion only.

Fingers crossed he had some helpful information, fortunately his testimony is the reason CB is not walking the streets NOW.

News: Madeleine McCann: Why are those houses being searched?

Some of the graffitis on the walls of these old houses are similar to the graffitis of his German box factory

 

[mrjitty]

I think we can see from the size of this operation it has to be based on solid work. There is no way they are spending all this money just because some guy wrote a book IMO.

Especially in a cold case so many years later, I don't think you'd be able to spend 10s of 1000s or even 6 figures on just general clearance of areas.

They must have something specific.

We'll have to wait and see what they come up with.
