According to Kate McCann the choice was accidental killng or homicide.

[Mr Gray]

No it isn't.

Just hearsay, and no more.

#read the whole thread...particularly the posts by John...there was a deal offered

[Mr Gray]

in most countries  doing a  deal witha suspect/s is illegal im sure its the same in portugal

it isn't in the UK as we know........the pj don't seem to be too bothered about breaking the law and in the colin stagg case in the uk the police were criticised for their attempts to extractt a confession..it is common practice world wide

Before anyone gets carried away, the PJ never made any offer directly to the parents, it was Carlos who communicated the possibility of a 'deal' the night before the arguido interviews.  Obviously he had been in discussion and briefed by the PJ and this had arisen as a possibility.

A third hand report.

Again, 'deals' are not legal in Portuguese law.

and no offer was made to the parents.

This is not a credible argument IMO.     Everything Amaral says about the case is based on 2nd hand information as he never had any personal interaction with the McCanns himself.     Therefore theoretically -  if everything the McCanns say is dismissed as  'hearsay' then surely that must also apply to Amaral.

Your first line say everything.

Why did he need personal interaction with the mccanns ?

My post was not about whether Amaral needed to have personal interaction with the McCanns - it was to point out that he didn't.

In that case, all his opinions, conclusions etc about the case can only have been made from information reported to him by third parties.

Apparently - according to some this is hearsay.

IMO
