Get your point, but do we really want the police to convict someone to satisfy the press? This is what was done in the case of Barry George who was convicted of murdering Jill Dando. I'm not saying at all that the parents did it but its reasonable given the circumstances that they are suspects! Its not like the Portugal police have arrested them for it and the've had no problem with them flying back out to Britain which shows to me that the British police are happy with how things are being dealt with too.
No I agree, we don't want just anybody convicted, but we do want the right person/people convicted, whoever that may be.
Parents are always first to be suspects, so at the moment, that's just routine.
The Portuguese authorities can't arrest the McCanns without that file, which is being delivered today. Then, if the prosecution feel there is substantial evidence against the McCanns, they will charge them and arrest them then.
They were allowed home and from what has been reported from their time over there, they were being hounded out anyway, they felt.
As they haven't yet been charged (up too early this morning), it's their right to come home if that's what they wanted. At the end of the day, they need their own native lawers to advise them. It can't have been easy dealing with and having to rely on translaters and foreign authorities dealing with things.
They still have yet to go through the system with Social Services intervening and doing their checks - mind you, they have not got a good reputation themselves for seeing to cases efficiently either, but who knows what they will say and whether or not the twins will be removed from them through this case.
If they have done it, I still don't understand why Madeleine and not all children, which obviously is a good thing, but it doesn't add up right, that's all. I don't get that part or why they left them in the hotel. That's what I can't get my head around.
