Thank you for pointing me in the right direction but I'm too tired to look at the video - I take everyone's word for it.
If, as Eleanor says, it's her friends who aren't talking to her, that paints a different picture for me.
I'm interested because my late husband was a Barrister although he never went into practice.
I hope if he had and defended (to my eyes) the indefensible my friends would have understood.
I should have thought so to
Even the guilty are entitled to legal representation ( not that I am saying the McCanns are guilty of any crime )
Isobel Duarte's friends would surely acknowledge that simple principal, on which the law is based, and respect her for upholding it
I think, perhaps, Duarte was being her customary 'dramatic' self ... and, in an attempt to emphasise the effect Amaral's book had on the public, introduced the almost inconcievable scenario of her own friends rejecting her because they had been so influenced by the former detective's opinions
It was a silly, elaborate, and frankly unbelievable little anecdote
