Can you explain why Kate was the person offered the deal and not Gerry?

is there a necessity to prove accidental death....or is it possible just to claim it...so a prtuguese man can stab his wife to death...hide the body...suggest she died in an accident ...and get a suspended sentence...is taht how balmy the portuguese courts are

It is not a matter of claiming it, but a matter of the PJ accepting it and then the prosecutor accepting it.

If the PJ can't prove something more serious, how would a court find someone guilty of it?  Balmy?

That would depend on confessions.

A wheelie bin after dark only required one person, in the darkness.

And that was Kate?

Which post are you referring to?

[Venturi Swirl]

It wouldn't.

That's the whole point.

In offering a 'deal' to Kate of body occultation, it makes it as clear as day that the PJ had no idea of how, where when and why MBM died.  Nor where the body was.

I know that but you appear to have missed my point, which is that I don’t believe any police force worth its salt would satisfy itself with a mere two year suspended sentence for hiding a child’s body without trying to further establish the cause of death and whether or not she was a victim of manslaughter or murder.  The “offer” made to Kate would tend to suggest however that that is exactly what the PJ were prepared to do, which is shameful IMO

And that was Kate?

It's one possibility.

While it suggests to me the PJ had no way of proving anything more serious, and they knew it.  It's a point supporters seem unable to grasp.

It's one possibility.

And the others are?

But the PJ decided Kate was the person to offer the deal to?

And the others are?

I'll stick at it's one possibility, thank you.
