All quiet on the Western Front. What a relief.
Brueckner will be tried on five counts of sexual abuse of some kind or another. No one yet knows if he will be convicted. But I've got my money on at least two.
I still have no idea if he will ever be charged or convicted of crimes against Madeleine McCann.
If she is dead then she is dead and for some considerable time. But not my child and so I cannot be quite so upset by the thought.
I am certain sure that The McCanns had nothing to do with this, simply for reasons of logic.
Sceptics will waste their time for a very long while on this Forum because I ain't dead yet.
I agree that it is highly probable that Brueckner will be convicted of at least two of the serious crimes with which he has been charged.
As far as I know it is horrendously difficult for crimes of rape to carry successful convictions even in the best of circumstances. The three of which Brueckner stands charged particularly so as they are historic cold cases only one of which we can be sure was reported at the time.
There is quite a bit of wishful thinking that Brueckner's innocence shines through. For me ~ I would prefer that to be decided in a court of law rather than by the mobsters of internet kangaroo courts who attempt to destroy innocent lives every time they strike 'post' on their keyboards.
I don't know how long it will take due process to be completed regarding the crimes for which Brueckner will stand trial.
I hope that there is sufficient admissible evidence to allow him to be tried for crimes against Madeleine McCann.
It is worth bearing in mind that Brueckner is the named police prime suspect in three jurisdictions and as such really is entitled to be allowed the opportunity to "prove his innocence".
