That's correct, one swallow doesn't maketh a summer!!
Gonc made an error of judgement in altering the police log in order to protect his subordinates. With his previous record he is most certainly not a rogue cop or a criminal and that my dears is why he was not immediately sacked.
As I said to John a couple of days ago:
IMO any policeman who abuses his position to deliberately pervert the course of justice by committing a crime (no matter what that crime is) which results in the successful protection of criminals, or the conviction of an innocent person, is a rogue policeman - and should not be in the police force.
Torture would come top of my list as the most serious crime a policeman can commit against the people they are supposed to be protecting.
You say that Amaral changed a timesheet as if that was so minor it's hardly worth mentioning, but completely ignore his motives for doing so.
Fortunately the PT courts recognised and understood the serious nature of his crime which was then duly reflected in his sentence.
AIMHO
Indeed, until now on this very forum a gofund me page is being set up by supporters to have Amaral disected and burned at the steak and the other 30 bob is for the appeal for immediate release of the convicted Murderers...
Sorry that may be another supporters forum.... 
Amaral's Book
quote "Would there not be a link between that difficulty in falling asleep and Madeleine's tragic end?"
Now what do we have here, Oh yes, a question mark wow. Some people put them at the end of sentences as they are asking a question. What Amaral meant to say was Kate gave the calpol what killed her daughter. OR maybe not. Putting it all in context;
It was reported that there was a lot of noise in that room, parents howling, people comings and goings and the children slept throught this though it has been noted that the children did habitually wake up through the night, even Kate checked to see if the twins were breathing. So Amaral is asking a question is there a chance someone had sedated the children. HE DOES NOT NAME KATE at all. He does not insinuate anything, he asks can there be a connection. Yeah and it is what police do... they ask questions Duh.
A typical example (in red) of taking a few words out of context so that a different meaning can be given to them -other than their true meaning which is apparent when they are left
in context.
Anyone who thinks from the following that Amaral is not talking about Kate McCann or making any insinuations in her direction is seriously deluding themselves imo.
The ability of some to convince themselves that black is actually white never ceases to amaze me.
AIMO
QuoteOne of the police officers who went to the McCanns' home in England, reported that a medical monitoring chart for Madeleine was posted in the kitchen. This referred to her sleep problems and made clear that she was waking several times in the night. The paternal grandfather stated that Kate gave the little girl - and also the twins - Calpol, a medication designed to facilitate falling asleep. That seems to be a common practice in Great Britain; they even talk about a "Calpol generation." In recent years, the possible presence of an antihistamine with sedative effects in Calpol has aroused great controversy. Recently, the same laboratory put Calpol Night on the market, whose ingredients clearly list that it contains an antihistamine.
The mother admits having taken some to Portugal. She insists though that there is no calming effect, its being composed solely of paracetamol, and that she did not give any of it to her daughter during the holiday. At the time of her disappearance, Madeleine was sleeping in the same room as the twins. The latter, in spite of the noise, the mother's screaming and the comings and goings, did not wake up, as if they had been given sedatives.Would there not be a link between that difficulty in falling asleep and Madeleine's tragic end?
