What are the mccanns innocent of ?

The left their children and should have bee brought to court in Portugal for abandonment, just as any other Portuguese citizen would have happened to them in the same situation.

No it isn't.

The mccanns deliberately and repeatedly, as did the others, leave their children for hours on end, for 5 nights, with largely unverified checks, and pray to a variety of dangers.


The mccanns escaped criminal charges, of that there is no doubt at all.

Incorrect.

It is abundantly clear, as would have  Portuguese residents who did the same, they should have been charged with abandonment.

It is appalling they were not.

From a legal perspective, it would have been a waste of time and would have resulted in an acquittal.  The reason being that the children were not abandoned, as there was a process of checks in place.  And there was no intent to abandon or recklessly expose the children to danger.  So there was no crime. 

You may not like it, but it is the legal position.

Tell me how many of thew checks were verified.

and the children were left to their own devices

It was disgraceful behaviour , not just the mccanns either.

In Your Opinion ... which has no standing in law. Unlike the opinion of the Portuguese Attorney General.  Let's face it Stephen you are on a hiding to nothing following this tack ... as well as sailing too close to the wind regarding defamation for my liking.

Sailing close to the wind ?

The case happened in Portugal, and the report from Former minister of internal affairs Rui Pereira stands.

Get over it.

Still waiting for you to admit the mccanns did anything wrong.

It may have been foolish, and had tragic consequences.

However, from a legal point of view there was no crime of abandonment committed by the McCanns.

In order to secure a conviction, the onus would be on the PP to prove intent, and to prove that no checks were actually made.  This would not be possible to do. 

As I said before, you may not like it, but it is the cold legal position.

[stephen25000]

You need to refer to the  Former minister of internal affairs in Portugval, Rui Pereira .

Grime cited over 200 case searches, dont twist his words, Amaral merely quoted him, nothng wrong done,no lies at all by either of them, unless amaral misunderstood,which is not a crime, just numbers

P In six years operational deployment in over 200 cases the dog has never

alerted to meat based foodstuffs.

With the exception of 'statutory offences' (forget them!) it seems to be an identical requirement of both penal codes (our own, adversarial and the Portuguese inquisitorial) that the commission of any crime requires both of two elements; guilty conduct and guilty intent.

The absence of either element means no crime (in either penal code).
