No I strongly disagree Brietta and on hindsight maybe you could reconsider the post. There was indeed a lot of evidence, albeit circumstantial, that the McCanns were involved thus why they became the focus of the investigation at one point. Indeed, their conduct was not conducive to a claim of innocence so they did themselves no favours there.
I seldom make a post without having taken as much care as possible to substantiate everything in it and if there has been one iota of verifiable evidence against the McCanns for any one of the slurs made against them, I have yet to see it.
What is it about the propaganda that it outweighs the fact that the Public Prosecutor did not find any evidence to prosecute one or other or both.
THE INNOCENCE OF THE MCCANN
MP thinks it's likely Maddie died. But you don't know what happened. Parents were careless, although they did not abandon their children
2011-08-05
The Public Prosecutor's Office (MP) admits in the document that ends the investigations into the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, that the most likely scenario, for what happened on the night of May 3, is a dramatic end - maddie's death.
A fatality that, despite the thousands of diligences, remains without guilt and at the same time a mystery.
Maddie's parents were charged in the course of the investigations, but now the MP explains why he does not accuse them of any crime and attributes them innocence.
According to the document, consulted by PortugalDiário after the case has been made public on Monday, it is not possible to impute to the McCann any crime because, for example, at the time of the facts, they were not inside the apartment; the couple's behaviour was also taken into account and their stance, up to the date of the facts and subsequently, was considered normal, according to the testimonies.
However, one of the most important factors for the couple's innocence were the results of the trace analyses, found in the apartment of praia da Luz and in the trunk of renault rented, more than 20 days after the
disappearance.
The tests proved inconclusive, meaning it was not possible to determine that the fluids found are maddie's.
In explaining the non-accusation to the couple, the MP explains that the analysis of the phone calls also revealed no evidence and that the advance warning, which allegedly was made to the media [in an alleged call to Sky News] instead of the police, was not confirmed.
To be true... Where's the body?
The final order of the process even puts the hypothesis that eventually the McCann are responsible for the death of the child.
However, he considers that many questions are lacking:
how,
where,
when,
by what means,
with the help of whom
and what they have done to the body in such a short time?
Questions that are difficult to answer, especially if we take into account, according to the MP, that the McCann only knew the vicinity of the village and had no contacts or friends in Portugal.
Despite the manifest innocence of the couple, the MP considers that the crimes, equated at the beginning of the process, are not to rule out given the degree of probability, namely, homicide.
However, there is no evidence to bring it to conclusions beyond the assumption.
Heavy penalty for the carelessness of the children About the McCann weighed even the cross of having neglected the safety of the children.
Evidence of negligence or abandonment was considered, but after 14 months... Disregarded.
The Prosecution Explains Why.
This type of crime has to set up deed for the victim and danger to life.
Now, according to the MP, Maddie's parents did not act in bad faith, since it was not predictable that when they came on holiday to the beach of Light something bad could happen.
The MP also claims that it was not required to put the possibility of kidnapping, since there is no history of such a crime at the scene.
It is also pointed out that, despite the carelessness of the parents, the minors were always watched: the document stresses, moreover, that the McCann are already atoning for the penalty of their sin with the disappearance of their daughter.
Case prescribes in 2022 The MP argues that its decision does not correspond to a definitive and/or irreversible closure of the investigation.
The case should not be prescribed before May 2022.
Little past 4.30pm on Monday when more than 40 journalists - half Of British - who had already requested consultation of the case, received the DVDs with about 30,000 pages, divided into 67 volumes, with ades, reports, letters rogatory, exchanged emails and translated documents.
With no evidence that the McCann couple committed any crime, the MP ordered the filing of the case.
On July 21, Kate and Gerry, along with Robert Murat, were raised as defendants.https://tvi24.iol.pt/sociedade/maddie/a-inocencia-dos-mccannIt is not possible to subscribe to the existence of evidence against them (innuendo and misrepresentations just do not count) when the Portuguese Prosecutor has stated publicly that there is no evidence against them.
It has to be one or the other.
The Philpott's
https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2013/apr/02/derby-house-fire-evil-philpotts did themselves no favours; the McCanns didn't seek favours their prime concern has always been doing their best to find their daughter which seems to have been sufficient to keep sceptic hounds snapping at their heels. Causing the reports
"The parents of Madeleine McCann say they believe there are people in Portugal and Britain who do not want their daughter to be found, ahead of the third anniversary of her disappearance.
Madeleine's mother Kate says some people would be "greatly embarrassed" if her daughter was found." http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8653794.stmI think there is plenty of evidence to justify that thought.
