Those comments are just plainly wrong on so many counts. There was ample evidence to convict the pair and convicted they were. Minute traces of blood was found all over the family home, on the wall where Leonor claimed to have hit the girls head, on floor tiles, on shoes, in a refridgerator even after she had attempted to clean away the damning evidence using chemical cleaners which she went out and bought specifically for the job.
How many different stories did she tell investigators before eventually claiming to come clean?
Your attempts to excuse the murdering pair are rather pathetic. They both got their just desserts imho, one for murder and the other as an accomplice after the fact. Leonor Cipriano had a history of child neglect and abandonment while her brother had already served a sentence for attempted murder. How you can possibly offer support for such a pair in an attempt to mitigate on behalf of the McCanns is frankly troubling.
How much resemblance does this have to Joana's case?
*snipped*
After having pummeled her with kicks, the father hurled her, with all his strength, against the wall. Then, grabbing her by the hair, he violently hit her head several times against the bedroom wall, under the passive gaze of the mother. Animal violence that killed *******. The parents then decided to get rid of the body legally, by requesting a death certificate. Tragic mistake. They faked the crime scene, washed the blood off the walls and places where the father had hit the little girl. To get rid of all trace of the crime, they threw into the bin the denim skirt that the little girl wore for the first time that Sunday.
After the examination of the body, the medical examiner and the investigator were in no doubt: ******* had been savagely killed by her father with the passive consent of the mother, and in front of her 5 year-old brother.
