The Robert Anderson a deeply religious man who wrote the "tripe" was "morally certain" of the identity of Jack The Ripper, his suspect just one of many that have been linked to the murders, and based on virtually no evidence at all.  Perhaps he and Amaral have something in common and perhaps that's why Faithlilly values his writings so dearly.

another one of his quotes..

I’m not sure how much knowledge Anderson had of other subjects but he had ample experience in policing.

So you have no doubt whatsoever that Anderson was right about the identity of Jack the Ripper?

The McCanns are innocent of ANY criminal wrong doing, in the eyes of the law.

Who or what do you mean by law? Portuguese or English? Police or courts?

Both.  Any.  I wasn’t aware the police operated by different laws to the courts.  Either the McCanns are innocent in the eyes of the law or they’re not.  There can be no grey area so which is it?

Surely that is the purpose of defending one's actions in court.  To sort out the grey areas.

No such condition exists.

'Innocent' isn't a legal term except when used in relation to the presumption of innocence.
