I've got to admit to being bemused by the whole Brueckner thing and the rush to judgement with declarations of his innocence.
Usually such unequivocal support is the reserve of the nearest and dearest of the accused.
No civilian knew anything at all about Brueckner until we were introduced to him in December 2019 by Amaral who declared he was a 'patsy'.
I think it is unprecedented in a free society for the suspect accused of serious crimes, who is already in custody having been found guilty of equally serious crimes to be the recipient of such wholehearted support. Which by definition has to be ill informed.
Had Brueckner not been the prime suspect in Madeleine McCann's disappearance I doubt he would have received any notice let alone support.
What is it about Madeleine McCann which causes such a polarisation in what is a classically straightforward set of circumstances
- police investigate
- police find evidence
- police confirm a suspect
Then justice follows its course without let or hindrance; except in this case which I find incomprehensible and bordering on the insane.
