The best part of this whole sordid situation was Kate telling the papers that she was no longer enjoying sex with Gerry.
22/05/2009 The disgraced former head of the Madeleine McCann police investigation was today sensationally found guilty of falsifying evidence in a separate missing child case. Goncalo Amaral, 49, who was thrown off the Madeleine inquiry, was given an 18-month suspended jail sentence by a court in Portugal. Amaral was found guilty of falsifying evidence to help cover up for three of his officers who were accused of torture. Portugal's attorney general later said there was no evidence to link the couple to their daughter's disappearance in May 2007 and cleared them as suspects last July. Amaral, a father-of-three, was sacked from the investigation in October that year and later took early retirement. He stood trial in relation to the investigation into the disappearance of eight-year-old Joana Cipriano from Figueira, a village seven miles from Praia da Luz, on the Algarve, in September 2004. Her mother, Leonor, and uncle, Joao Cipriano, were convicted of murdering her, although her body was never found. But they later claimed they were tortured into confessing during a police interrogation which took place without the knowledge of her lawyer or state prosecutors. Amaral was found guilty by a jury of falsified documents to help cover for his officers, following a seven month trial at Faro Court on the Algarve. Today the three inspectors, Leonel Marques, Pereira Cristovao and Paulo Marques Bom, were all cleared of torturing the the Ciprianos, who are serving 16 years for murder. Amaral, who lives in the Algarve town of Portimao, was cleared of another charge of failing to report a crime. A fifth officer, Antonio Nunes Cardoso, was found guilty of falsifying documents and was given a two-and-a-half year suspended jail sentence. The inspectors claimed Mrs Cipriano tried to commit suicide by throwing herself off a staircase. As was the case with the Madeleine investigation, the hunt for Joana was hindered because police failed to seal off the house where she was last seen. A spokesman for the court in Faro said: 'Amaral has one month to appeal against his conviction.' Last night the McCanns declined to comment on Amaral4s conviction. Their spokesman Clarece Mitchell said: 'Whilst Kate and Gerry McCann will not be commenting on the decision of the court they will be continuing their defamation action against Goncalo Amaral.

You people obviously aren't praying hard enough. Does anyone know how many people have to pray before God agrees to tell us where Maddie is?
There is something I don't like about the pair of them. I don't know what it is, but something dosen't sit right with me about them.
lol, that'll be it! I think it could be the way they have been portraid in the press. Because they are a nice middle class pair of doctors the press seem to have glossed over the fact they were out with their friend at a restaurant while their kids were left alone in the appartment. As a parent, I wouldn't ever dream of doing that. If they were a pair of chavvy benifit scroungers from a run down estate, the press would have had a field day on them.
if it was a pair of neds you'd assume they were guilty of something so you wouldnt be bothered if the cops stitched them up
Like Shannon Matthews mum (and her geeky ***** boyfriend)? They didn't get half as much exposure. Though as it turned out, they didn't deserve it!
