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

I don't think any justice system is perfect. The answer is not to run foul of the law, wherever you are.

You don't have to do anything illegal to be arrested..charged and imprisoned..its called a miscarriage of justice...it just seem that according to Montclair ...it doesn't happen in portugal

Except if it is PJ Officers, ex or otherwise.  Or have we already done that one?

Indeed you don't, particularly in the UK.

[Mr Gray]

I'm happy to accept that there are miscarriages of justice in the Uk but according to Montclair there are NONE in Portugal...that makes me think Portugal is a very corrupt country

Now that is a stupid argument.... 8-)(--)

[Mr Gray]

that's a very poor reply..you need to do better...now to believe a justice system never makes mistakes...that IS  stupid...as red by her post does...if Portugal admits to NO miscarriages of justice then something is plainly wrong

You said to paraphrase...

UK has miscarriages of justice.
Montclair says Portugal has no miscarriages of justice.
Therefore Portugal is a very corrupt country.

Neither of the first two statements cause or lead to the third statement hence it is a nonsensical argument.

It would make sense to anyone who doesn't blindly support Portuguese justice...it is noticeable that Montclair has not posted since making the statement

what do you think of the fact that Portugal admits to no miscarriages...you are avoiding the important question

Exactly.  It is downright unhealthy.  It shows a complete dominence by the so called Justice system

Just like in a marriage where there are never any arguments.  Either both parties do not think for themselves ... or one party is totally dominant and the other totally submissive.  Unhealthy !

This situation confirms that Portugal is still a Police State despite calling itself a democracy.

Why not go to Portugal and make your allegations there ?
