The McCann's pursuit of Amaral through the courts was to stop the selling of his book, telling the world they drugged their children and hid her body. Plus saying their child was dead without proof, and if you say you wouldn't have done the same then I wouldn't believe you. You are quick to say you are reporting someone when they are nasty to you on this forum, let alone writing a book like the one Amaral wrote, imagine if that book had been about YOU.
Amaral made the McCann's feel miserable and fearful, he said they had found 100% DNA of Madeleine's which was a lie, it must have frightened the life out of them thinking Madeleine was dead. How much misery and fear do you think his book caused ?
I don't believe that.
It was revenge and the pursuit of money.
They lost the case and gave a worldwide audience to Amaral.
They were already aware Madeleine could already be dead, so your response above doesn't wash.
...and what about Madeline Lace ?
She's the one who disappeared.
