Naquela unidade de saúde as hemorragias e dores abdominais provocadas por “alegadas lesões internas” resultantes das ditas agressões policiais de que disse ter sido vítima, foram desmascaradas pelos exames médicos:as manchas de sangue detectadas na cadeira onde se sentara nessa tarde, eram simplesmente vestígios do fluxo menstrual.
Erm... this is CdaM after all. She was taken to hospital complaining of alleged internal lesions due to police conduct, but medical examinations showed that the seat she'd been on simply showed traces of menstrual flow.
Really? Do interrogation chairs normally get taken to hospital for medical analysis?
Note to self: The dates need to be worked out. She was taken to Faro on the Monday (supposedly), but when was the interrogation that led to this initial supposed confession? It's feasible that the pain got progressively worse and was taken a day or two later. Or are the dates wrong in the article?
Where is there any mention of the medical report on that in the ruling?
No mention anywhere of that hospital visit, Carana. Only by Media.
Well of course!…. you take the chair to the hospital with you if you were bleeding
and in pain.
No way!
If it was on the chair it would also be on her clothing, which I assume the doctor would have removed to examine her? So why the need to examine a chair………Too Silly!
Just another excuse for an injury received whilst being interrogated IMO.
What big brave boys they were…………….
A woman who was very immature, backward and incapable of making decisions. Probably dependant on others for help in all manners of everyday life. A gentle person who could not even punish her children or joint a chicken.
Well we know that the reconstruction date could not have been after the date on the article in DN, so the book written by PC was quoting the date of the reconstruction as to questioning the witness and neighbours. The Joao reconstruction was on a Saturday, so would lawyers etc be so easily available? Leandro was there that day as he had to take the key the officers. Maybe he told the media?
It certainly seems to be getting covered up for some reason.
Who knows about the date of the battering that Leonor got, except for the prison manager and media report?
Her partner and his family and her brothers were all defendants, 6 in all I believe, but they all became witness just before the court case, most gave evidence against her. For example Leandro said she wasn't bruised and he had a knife and saw which had disappeared, which he later admitted that he never owned.
As for that food in the house. Leandro said that he had already stocked up with these products. (but he said a lot of things in the first court hearing which he later denied)
Why did Leonor send Joana out shopping if such things were already in the house?
I had come to the conclusion that Joao was being abusive due to his need for drug money and Leonor was protecting her by sending her out, but I could be wrong and the selling her story was true.
Was a receipt ever found for that shopping? The receipt was found for the cleaning materials and scourer.............Dated Several days after Joana's disappearance. Leandro's mother sent out for oil because there was an infestation of ticks? in the house and I believe that she done the cleaning.
The dates for the confession of an accident, seem to differ in the media...............If I go by the news articles it would appear that it was the early hours 24/25 when an accidental death was confessed to by Leonor However when it came to putting it in writing, her brother declined and blamed his sister.
She was further interrogated that day and I believe returned to the court, before being taken to an isolated cell in prison.
Joao was let free, but ran off and was caught.
(Sound familiar?...If you will Confess to accident you will get a lesser sentence).
So it was at some time that same day 25th that the Reconstruction done by Joao was filmed. ? Before the confession of Leonor or after?
The times are so conflicting in Media articles and it seems they were not included in the Re-trial in 2006.
The 2009 appeal was the only free from interrogation, confession that Leonor made that I am aware of. I think the appeal was an idea put forward by the lawyer, . to get an early release, or she was actually telling the truth.
Leonor had already tried to tell this story …… but who knows.
It was thrown out of court anyway.
