The answer could well be

If I had I would not have been here today to bring you up and answer your questions because I would have been in a Portuguese jail.

Now why would you think that,

[Brietta]

Given that is has been shown the maximum sentence for illegal corpse disposal is 2 years,

that people seem to get only suspended sentences at least up to 4.5 years, according to latest Portuguese news ....

Yes, it does seem that nearly 11 years after Madeleine disappeared, this is indeed a myth.

And exactly how would you know what the charges brought against Kate would have been had she 'confessed'?

I beg your pardon?  In my opinion feigned ignorance is just silly ... unless ... you really are not feigning.

Talking of feigning; one presumes your inept body swerve indicates you are either incapable of or unwilling to answer the question?

People have been known to confess just through the pressure of interrogation.  There was a case in NZ Teina Pora. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teina_Pora#Pora's_confession

That would be a matter her legal representative would take care of surely?

Nice example, given the perpetrators of said child's disappearance.

Shannon Matthews was a missing child for whom the police were looking.  Houses were searched.  Cadaver dogs alerted.  Shannon was recovered alive.

A nice example of a missing child being recovered alive despite the cadaver dogs being used to locate her reacting to the scent they had been trained to react to.
The only thing being ... whatever the dogs alerted to ... it wasn't Shannon.

If she had confessed to actions more serious that corpse disposal, don't you think she should have been charged with more serious actions?  This seems to be all about Kate and Madeleine doesn't get a look in.

If Madeleine is the "corpse" no, she won't get a look in.

A dead mans old matress iirc

Victim recovery dogs from four different police forces were used during searches for kidnapped schoolgirl Shannon Matthews in Dewsbury in West Yorkshire in 2008.

The dogs found evidence of dead bodies, but officers later discovered the corpses were nothing to do with her disappearance.

"The properties searched contained a high level of second-hand furniture bought from dwellings where someone had died," according to the NPIA report.

It's like shooting fish in a barrel & there's no shortage of ammo.
