By your own admission you did not post what I said and what you did post was garbled. What I was curious about is what Amaral is getting up to these days.
When was the last time a transcript of one of his unlearned ravings from the ubiquitous (at one time) chat show studios was released ... was it- after his terribly embarrassing 'revelation' about the alleged old lady and the alleged cremation?
- or was it after the revelation of his chum and fellow Madeleine author's depravity courtesy of the Portuguese judicial system became common knowledge?
You may think Amaral was capable of achieving "the best outcome" and "would have got it" but I am afraid it seems to have slipped your mind that the Portuguese authorities didn't share your confidence.
They sacked him.
We will never know what he could have achieved - and for reasons, we don't really know he was moved
Considering he wrote a book on what he believed happened - it may have slipped your mind it's still there.
