Was Gonçalo Amaral fair game given the content of his book?

Who needs enemies when he's got friends like his wife?

Was Sofia there?

Was she where?  I don't know.  She wrote the letter.  She went to The PJ for help.  And not for the first time.  So not all was sweetness and light in that marriage.

Its a defensed mechanism it seems for some supporters of the mccanns.

Every pantomime needs a Wicked Wizard. Exits in puff of green smoke.

Amaral is a major part of this case we are discussing  - of course he will be commented upon.

Why is dissecting the McCanns every word and deed to the Nth degree 24/7 not seen as 'obsessional' but any mention of Amaral's words and deeds is?    That makes no sense to me.

There's an obvious answer to that, Benice.

Especially since Amaral's life style and proclivities are so much more interesting than The McCann's.

I don't understand some peoples obsession with the McCanns...facebook hate group with 19000 members....and amarl has given them fuel with his shoddy detective work and his libellous book

You may regard the disappearance and potential death of a child...the hounding of her innocent parents on the internet...as a pantomime...says a lot about you

Yet to be proven I believe. Unless you have inside track with the judge. But of course you have.

Have we had the verdict already ?

Well if there is -  it's passed me by  - Lyall.

The 'indignation' of some people - who spend their time putting the MCanns' every word and deed under the microscope in order  to find stuff to criticise them - whilst simultaneously objecting to any criticism of Amaral - no matter how justified - is a ludicrous stance to take IMO.

'One rule for one and a different rule for another' springs to mind.
