When will the online persecution of the McCanns end?

By "they" do you mean the McCanns?  In what way(s) could they change their approach that would make any difference to the online persecution?

Yes the McCanns obviously.

Guilty conduct and guilty intent.  In general and with certain exceptions (forget those) the commission of any criminal act must have  both elements. 

In England recently there was a lorry driver whose vehcile hit and killed a pedestrian.  The driver was acquitted of all charges because there was no evidence he had been driving his lorry neligently (no guilty action) but the lorry had defective brakes.

Resonsibility for maintaining the roadworthyness of the vehicle was his employer's and his employer was held culpable.  If the driver had, also, owned the vehicle the driver would have been culpable. 

Guilty conduct and guilty intent.

Both elements must be present for there to be the commission of any crime.

The absence of either element means no crime.

Thank you. Do you have a cite for the case quoted please?

Yes the McCanns obviously.
