Why do they think that lines in newspapers and reports on TV are reason to post questions saying the McCann's are guilty? What has happened to common sense and presumption of innocence?

Good question. I think that these people think that life is a soap opera and are trying to guess the script. They want the McCanns to be guilty because they are successful and educated so many people cant relate to them. They forget that if the McCanns are innocent (which I believe they are) they are adding to this couples grief. It is almost as if they dont care about their feelings which is very sad.

I have never presumed innocence or guilt for the McCanns, they have not been formally charged of a crime.
Morally, their guilty as hell of putting their own enjoyment ahead of the safety of their child, they will live a life sentence for it whatever legal charges they may or may not face in the future. But you're right in the point you make. Trial by media is a cancer of the justice system, which you quite rightly point out, states 'innocence until proven guilty'. The sad part is the media spouts on about it and fires the two sides into an all-out slanging match that loses reason, intelligence and insight. I have no time for McCann fans or anti-McCann writers. The only time I devote to it is to remind anyone who'll listen of the only important person involved.
Her name is Madeline McCann.

I consider myself to be no thicker than you are, we just have a difference of opinion. The truth will eventually be told but the evidence is stacked against them. They are after the million pounds to be for their own use so the McCanns are definetly not thick, they kept all that money sitting there without employing a private investigator to find Madeleine and now want to employ the best detectives to try to get them off manslaughter. I think they are very calculating and selfish.

You're right. The McCanns have no common sense. None of this would've happened had they used some common sense when caring for their children.

Fiddlesticks, you should have said 'some people'
one particualr YA user has started emailing me to abuse me because she did not read 2 of my posts properly and assumed something very innaccurate about my personal thoughts on an issue regularly discussed on here. She still emails me, it is becoming tiresome.
The papers are full of s**t I have posted about this issue so regularly, but the public love a good story and the press are happy to give it to them because they make money out of it.

Watch the TV soaps. All the gossipy women (same as the media) who can't wait to let off about this, that, the other, act as judge, jury and executioner before any trial. All based on innuendo!
Wade thru YA 7 you'll come to the same basis conclusion, almost all the questions, many of them really sick (with no criminal intent or whatever allied by the investigating Portuguese police to date) you'll see 90%+ questions are from equally sick women - from the world over!

people on both sides are simply expressing their own opinions as is their right, as long as they are not abusive toward others
insofar as innocent until proved guilty, there are some country's who adopt the converse policy, guilty until proved innocent
the mccanns should be glad this unfortunate episode did not take place in one of them

People are in a hurry to get to the next story. From what I understand there is DNA evidence found in a rental car that was rented about a month after the disappearance...theres an assumption it's blood..but it's not official..if it's hair or other body fluids..it could be explained away as having been transferred there from dirty laundry being in the car..or a toy.

I don't think people on Q&A are, as you put it 'thick'. Yes, they may have differences of opinion. That is what make the human race unique. Unfortunately there are too many people quick to judge a person as 'thick' if they don't agree with their point of view. I for one have always thought the McCanns are in some way responsible for the disappearance of Madeleine, just because you may disagree doesn't make me thick.

most of us are quoting things from tv and the newspapers because there is such huge interest in the case and this is about the only thing we have to go by because of the portugese laws. nothing much is being said officially so of course people will speculate, its only natural in a case that has created so much attention but so little facts are known about it
