Amaral says in his book that Madeleine cried on Tuesday night from 10.30 to 11.45 pm. He doesn't say where he got the information but it is in the files. He differs from her parents by placing their conversation with Madeleine about crying on the Wednesday morning rather than Thursday.
As we don't know why he wrote what he did, allegations about his motives are opinions, not facts.
There is no evidence in the files to show that it is a proven fact that Madeleine was the child heard crying. The McCanns disputed the claim.
Why would he change the date in the files of Madeleine's conversation with her parents to the morning immediately following the crying incidence.
Why would he omit to mention Sean and insodoing give his readers the impression that it was only Madeleine who cried.
Can anyone come up with any credible reasons as to how he could 'innocently' get so much so wrong in his account of the crying incident? He claims his book is based on the files.
Is it just a happy coincidence that every wrong claim he made just happened to bolster his unproven claim that it was Madeleine who cried on Tuesday night.
I'm sure that after reading his account - a huge number of his readers would have no question in their minds that it was Madeleine who cried - and IMO that is exactly what he intended them to believe.
