The dissenting Judge was unhappy with the verdict BUT he never stated that he thought Leonora Cipriano innocent, that's the big difference. At the very least, Leonora Cipriano was guilty of complicity in a crime and attempting to pervert the course of justice. By is own admission, her brother John admitted to murder and disposing of a body in an attempt to avoid justice. Both are guilty of staging an abduction.
Joao (John) was a drug adict. Withdraw all his drugs and then offer them * if * a confession is given. IMO he would be like putty in their hands. And with Amaral and Cristovao both being criminals, of the perjury type etc., nothing would surprise me tbh
I am not saying that they did that, but they certainly allowed for Leonor to be beaten to the point of near blindness.
And drug with drawel, then drugs allowed, would be an easier route than beating Joao up
Leonor is an impressively strong and brave woman in my opinion, but eventually she was broken. On the other hand, Joao seems a weak individual. AIMO
However being weak, or strong, does not mean either was involved in getting rid of Joana.
Joanas body has never been found and I think it likely that she is still alive. I think thta she was the little girl in the orange top in the photo taken in Morocco. The one that shows a man /woman carrying a little girl who does not look like Bushra Benissa , but looks the image of Madeleine.
I think she is probably still alive. In fact, I think that both are probably still alive
