Why the derision of normal police tactics for gathering evidence? Is your contempt in general or only in the particular case of Madeleine McCann?
Nothing to do with the MM case per se. Please identify another case where 13 years after the crime was committed the police are appealling for info on two vehicles and telephone numbers the suspect had access to where the whereabouts of the vehicles are known?
Although the prosecutor's office - described elsewhere as "cavalary of the law" - has upheld the law by not naming the 'suspect' its clear the amount of information released would enable the media to pick up the baton.
The MET's appeal is far more circumspect. I can see huge repercussions for the prosecutor's office. No wonder Portugal has chosen not to get involved with this madcap idea which in all probability breaks international law.
By all accounts CB is an unpleasant individual and a menace to children but he needs to be dealt with according to the law not the lynch mob.
I thought the Mc's argument with Amaral/The Lie is that it harms the search for MM if others are led to believe she's dead? So how does it help when the prosecutor's office is making the same assertion without the evidence?
