Madeleine McCann, Scotland Yard and the parents

[aussiefriend]

A defence lawyer in a recent child neglect court case asked the same question.  His client was accused of leaving her five year old son alone in the house for a few hours.  He argued “if my client is guilty of neglect then why weren't the McCann parents charged?”

The McCanns and their supporters hummed and harred “how dare he say that!” Completely overlooking the fact he had made a perfectly legitimate point.

I remember very clearly Cynical Ninja blaming the parents. Now look, I bet they have a treasure trove of evidence.
