Nope gilet. The excuses weren't convincing when the McCanns put then forward and they certainly haven't gained any further resonance when coming from your fingers.
The very fact that you cannot see that it is perfectly normal to defend your child and your family reputation against the vile unevidenced claims of a disgraced, criminal ex-cop is shameful in my opinion.
It matters not how many times you deny the fact but a libel action in this case was the natural reaction not a vindictive greedy action.
And it matters not how many times you try to pretend otherwise, the action of Amaral in originally throwing in the towel as a cop at precisely the moment he thought his book would make most money is greedy grabbing of blood money especially when he was the cop who failed abysmally to conduct a proper investigation in the first place.
It is clear that we don't agree on this issue but I know that supporting the criminal disgraced ex cop as you do is not the kind of thing I could ever do when he is making such fantastic claims as those he is making about a missing little girl and her parents without being able to provide evidence for those claims.
I prefer the rule of law and understand that such vile claims as were made by Amaral deservedly should be challenged in a court, which is precisely what the McCanns are doing.
Had they been guilty do you really think they would have brought this trial to court? Not a chance!
