Aarghhhhhh!
3 days after the files were closed Amaral had a book in the public domain - launch - whatever.
I like the book. It is as equally full of facts and insight as it is crap. It is a movie fantasy, only in old fashioned print.
Amaral's book has detailed drawings of 5A that accurately match the incident scene photos. 3 days after the files were closed.
Amaral describes the crime scene in detail, 3 days after the files were closed.
Amaral fairly accurately discloses the case summary that closes the file, 3 days after the files were closed.
Were there leaks? Of course there were!
Was Amaral in breach?
If breach would be a criminal offence, for which if anyone gave a toss, Amaral would have been prosecuted years ago.
The evidence suggests Amaral was in breach, but no one cares a jot,
The illustrator for Amaral's book, the one who carefully redrew the crime scene photos, was he/she also in breach? Or just the person(s) who leaked the photos?
The text, that went to editor or publisher, plus probably many more. Was that in breach? The printer?
How about whoever leaked the final PJ report shelving the case? So that Amaral could copy the conclusion in his book, some 3 days later.
If you want to talk about leaks, please consider the following. SY had a helicopter over Luz with Andy Redwood aboard in June 2013. Sky News had a helicopter filming Andy Redwood's helicopter at the exact same time. Who leaked?
The UK newspapers were full all "3 places to be dug in Luz" in the middle of 2014. Who knows how they came up with the correct answer of 3, and wow, did the rumourmill get the wrong places.
Does any of this matter? Leaks have appeared from just about everyone and his dog about this case.
Does any of this stuff move the Maddie case one iota, one jot further forward?
If it does, please explain it to me in simple English. Then I might give a damn.
