One policeman seems convinced, but he never used the 'guilty' word.

Cannon made it clear he would respond;

Even if sufficient evidence is uncovered to charge him, it might not lead to a trial. Cannan could argue that, given the massive publicity surrounding the case, selecting a fair-minded jury would be impossible. Cannan, claiming his innocence, has already said he has been convicted by the media.

Like The McCanns you mean?

No, I think it would be that state that wouldn't get a fair trial, given 15 years of mass media insisting that Maddie was abducted.

The McCanns collaborated with the media, unlike Cannon.

Cannan was told in 2002 that he would never face trial over the Lamplugh disappearance  ETA,  the caveat that it was reported as such, the CPS said because of lack of evidence and trial by media.

Relying on the police to always get it right isn't a good idea. They never got the evidence they needed to charge Cannon, and it's beginning to look like the Germans are in a similar situation with Brueckner.

The McCanns told all those lies that The Media got sued for?  Well I never.

FGS.  You really are in denial.  Please tell me what the difference is between saying "we think he's guilty" and "we think he abducted and murdered SL" - was he a rogue cop btw?  Did no one else in the force agree with him?

Media tend to get carried away and embellish stories.

  yes the McCanns asked the media to write up stories about them swinging and hiding a deep dark secret, those were the findings of the Leveson Report if I recall correctly.

His name's not Cannon btw.  Do you understand the concept of identifying the right culprit but being unable to get the necessary evidence to take it to a successful conviction, or are you of the belief that failure to get a charge to stick means that the suspect did not commit the crime?

who told him that?  You mean if he had confessed he would not have faced trial?

Reports say the CPS.
