Why is there so much support for Leonor Cipriano from McCann supporters?

[Mr Gray]

Some are and some are not.
Guilty and innocent are absolute terms. In court "beyond reasonable doubt" is the datum.

others please note...cipriano is guilty...but not necessarily....guilty...she could be innocent

[Mr Gray]

Why you suppose the sentence was suspended if the offence were that serious?

no previous

[Mr Gray]

Cite please as per Portuguese Law?

cite that she isn't as you made the post first...certainly in the UK she would be entitled..

[Eleanor]

It's Guilty or Not Guilty, tried suspects are never declared innocent.

"You leave this Court without a stain on your character."  Perhaps I imagined that one.

[Alice Purjorick]

no previous

Presactly.
So the idea of a serially bent copper starts to look a bit thin if up to the time of his being charged and tried (2004-2009) he had been of previous good character as they say.

She's definitely guilty of a conspiracy along with her thug brother.  As she is a convicted liar one must view her initial confession with suspicion.

 Can you honestly see a child killer being given compensation from the public purse?

As after 10 years no successful appeal has been mounted the "could be innocent" is doubtful.
I am surprised that if it were such a travesty of justice no leading brief has been mounting a charge to make a name for himself by having the sentence quashed.
One surprising thing is what turns up under "Cipriano" in search engines. Apart from the Wikipedia entry everything else is pretty much quotes from sites linked one way or another to the McCann case...... &%+((£

She was found guilty of one thing but could very well be guilty of another.  Leonor Cipriano is most certainly not INNOCENT sweetie.

By the same token neither are the McCanns.  At the very least they too are guilty of a gross misjudgement when it came to child care.

absolutely...might not seem fair but the law is the law...certainly in the UK she would be entitled to compensation

You are basing your opinion on the UK system.......Montclair was quite clear on the success rates of appeals..an absolute waste of time it would seem

So did she confess to murder or didn't she?  How can anyone be suspicious of a confession to murder unless they think it isn't true?

I should stop digging if I were you, Angelo.  We've now got a women who did or didn't kill her daughter, and did or didn't confess after being or not being beaten.

I think that about sums it up.

who says he had been of previous good character...

Leonor Cipriano cannot appeal since she admitted knowing what happened to her daughter yet lied through her teeth from day one.

He has no prior criminal convictions unless you think you know different.  Civil cases don't count.
