Portugal Supreme Court: The McCanns are not cleared in Maddie Case

[Robittybob1]

The judges appear not to have even considered the one most compelling reason why sufficient evidence could not be found against the  McCanns -  and that is because no such evidence existed to be found in the first place.   How can anyone prove the non existence of non-existent evidence? 

Quite obviously it's not possible to prove a negative and for Judges to effectively turn a blind eye to that fact - and insodoing damage the McCann's absolute right to the presumption of innocence until proved guilty, is a million miles away from what civilised societies regard as Just.   

AIMHO

Just one error "How can anyone prove the non existence of non-existent evidence? "  should be "How can anyone prove the existence of non-existent evidence?"

What non-existent evidence can be corroborated.  You're joking obviously!

True but Madeleine's DNA has not been found where it shouldn't have been.

The forensic labs., do the analysis, not the PJ.

Let's say the PJ take the samples from the crime scene.

it is true like  i  say  dna  etc  testing  can  detect things human detectives  etc cant   now  even  tiny things at  scenes of a  crime  it   is highly  advanced compared to even   2007

[stephen25000]

Let's say the PJ take the samples from the crime scene.

That would be more relevant, as well as forensic officers/scientists working for the Police.

[carlymichelle]

The investigation has been going on several years, with nothing to show for it.

the mcanns didnt have to keep going  after amaral either did they?  no one forced them into anything they  did

They made a mistake, especially thinking it was all over, after they were initially awarded money.

You made the statement.  You ask them.

And then keep it to themselves?
