Made it sound like fact? how do you do that then?
I never heard anyone who has read the book think they were reading about the 'McCanns dunit' They managed to establish it was a thesis based on an enquiry. But, oh well, if you didn't get that then then he should be hang by the neck till he be dead... Or perhaps you should get someone to read it as it should be read- As a Thesis!
Have you read his book? watched the video? at the start of the video it is said they are going to say 'what really happened'. So is that fact or not?
Amaral goes about blackening the McCann's names all the way through his book, he argues about the DNA stating that how come the parts of the DNA match Madeleine, he accuses Gerry of knowing that a person was falsely claiming to know where Madeleine was, and hints that burglars were meant to have burgled his house for his briefcase but went to a house near him instead, also when his wife finds his dog dead, he thinks to himself as he can't bury his dog the ground is too hard [he throws it in the bin] how easily it would be to dispose of a body in a bin. His wife when finding the dog dead begs him to leave the case as it is too dangerous, hinting that someone had killed his dog to get at him. He also mentions another family who was being investigated as their child was missing but they failed to hide some bloody evidence and were caught.
Very craftily done but all the same he points at the McCann's all the way through, he describes Gerry as being cold and someone points out 'well he is a heart surgeon and cuts people up before breakfast' or similar words, Gerry isn't a heart surgeon as Amaral should have known, but it makes the readers think he is cold and ruthless doesn't it?
He doesn't stick to the files and slyly gives an impression of the McCann's as being these cold calculated people who would throw their child in a bin.
Reading his book, I would no doubt say that a lot of readers would believe what he says and think his understanding of the facts were true.
