I was always taught that you cannot form an opinion on anything unless you know what you’re talking about .
Unless you have read the PJ files and/ or the book based the files you cannot imo have anything else to base your opinion on .
Yes of course I have read the book andof course there was a lie and yes he showed what the truth of the lie was . All imo .
My education consisted of ascertaining all the facts and knowledge available ... analysing that prior to forming any opinions or conclusions.
The book is based on police work up until Amaral was sacked from the case.
It covers a snapshot in time and a work in progress.
Amaral's book reiterates the same misinformation which was used to make the McCanns arguidos and which was superseded by the competent work of his successor who took a fresh look at the available evidence ... and which among other conclusions reached was that the evidence did not substantiate the McCanns being suspected of any part in any crime against Madeleine.
Therefore the opinions enshrined in Amaral's book and promoted by him in his TV media career didn't bear the scrutiny of Rebelo's Policia Judiciaria at the time and subsequently that of the Porto PJ or of Scotland Yard.
The book is deeply flawed and its content make believe.
The mystery is why so many people fell for it.
