Simple-minded people being brought up in an environment where violence and abuse is part of everyday life is a dangerous combination
The brother being put in prison for four years having accepted money to 'do a murder' is testiment to that
As is the mother of the murdered child having kids by a number of different men, and then just abandoning them, like a litter of kittens
The little girl, called 'Cinderella' by locals, didn't have much of a chance in life from the start .... but having that life cut so brutally short is a very sad thing indeed
Called Cinderella was she. Who said that?

Another witness heard earlier in the process, puts forward new facts through new document who wrote and signed the original of which is annexed to this pleading. These facts once again corroborate the statements above transcribed, and are completely independent of a person who does not have at present any relationship with the procedural subjects, but who at the time lived permanently with the Appellant and her daughter Joana, for when the girl disappeared already lived about 3 months with both in the same house (please note that this witness has also criminal involvement against various elements of the Judicial Police, even against Gonçalo Amaral, the torture of a victim who was also at the time).

Nidia Rochato ".You have seen the photographs of a very happy, bright, well nourished little girl. One who is always neatly and cleanly dressed, who has her hair cut and washed regularly, who obviously loves her Mother and Leandro it seems. She dearly loves her siblings from other photos I have and lives in a simple, but clean looking, home
You have read the declararations above.
You must know the Court case was totallly unsafe.
Why dont you give over ? You are sounding unthinking, vindictive and very nasty
just whyare you so anxious to keep a couple of people who are probably innocent in jail ?
Why are you so keen to poopoo any chance that Joana is still alive ?
This vindictiveness and determination not to be fair. For that there has to be a reason
.... removed provocative question ...
