Would you like the McCanns on trial ?
(I mean "on trial", not "found guilty")
Would you like any evidence against them to be tested in a "court of law" ?
Do you call/consider the McCanns FUGITIVES or.... so DESPERADOS" (Spanish word not Portuguese) that they took off to Portugal the moment they were make official suspects ?
Apart from the good things that already happened to the McCanns like the owner of Virgin giving them £100,000, what would you like to happen to the McCanns now (apart from the good things that already happened to them ? A FAIR trial ? Surely they can't object to that !!!

We must remember that Madeleine is still missing. So I want to see a few things.
We already know that the McCanns will be in a court one day, answering to a possible charge of child neglect. I wonder whether that court will be here or in Portugal.
I would like the nasty people who have her to read this - keep your hands off her. Leave her alone. Don't hurt her.
Would I like to see the McCanns - yes, with one addition, HOLDING MADELEINE IN THEIR HANDS!!!
How many of us would like to see that?

Not until there is sufficient incontrovertible evidence to find them guilty. There's no point putting them on trial on the basis of the current evidence because even if they were guilty, they would be acquitted.
Later amendment
Oh dear - I seem to have attracted a lot of thumbs down presumably from the pro-McCann camp but if those of you who reacted adversely will take the time to re-read what I have written you will see that it is no more nor less than a statement of fact. The Crown Prosecution Service in this country (and presumably the same is true of the Portguese equivalent) will not waste its time and money nor that of the others involved (police, courts, legal teams, and the accused themselves) in bringing a prosecution unless there's a reasonable chance of success. They do not bring cases to court just to find out what will happen and certainly not to test public opinion. At the moment no-one is even sure what crime has been committed (abduction? manslaughter? murder?) never mind who might be responsible. Even a charge against the McCanns of child neglect probably wouldn't stick (I understand the McCanns have been interviewed by Social Services in Leics. and I've no doubt the McCann's slick lawyers have been able to convince Social Services this was an isolated incident and not evidence of chronic neglect, no matter how tragic the consequences). As I said originally - on the basis of the evidence available it's unlikely that any conviction can be secured so what's the point. The fact that the McCanns themselves have been responsible for destroying much of that evidence (e.g. washing Maddie's toy to remove any trace an abductor may have left), constantly and conveniently "remembering" new "facts" or changing old ones months after the event, and being singularly unhelpful to the police carrying out the investigation and then trying to blame lack of progress on police incompetence has not helped their cause in the court of public opinion but is not in itself enough to secure a conviction in a court of law. Those McCann supporters who have given me the thumbs down have not done them any favours either-it's simply another example of Team McCann failing to face up to reality

I would like to see people tell the truth about the McCanns instead of a pack of envious lies which originate from dishonest Portuguese police
Red Chrome.
I do not need to prove it, the Portuguese police are on record as liars in 100s of articles in which they make one accusation and drop it days later. It is ALL on record look back at the following:
The DNA... a lie ..........they must have known it was not evidence by the way it was found, this is simple police work It was put out as "evidence" simply to pressurise the McCanns. Of course believed by the haters who want to believe lies about the mcCanns
2 The body was thrown in the sea..a lie...a Portuguese police porky pie. a statement without proof by police investigating someone is a lie.
3..Killed by accident....a lie....a statement without proof by police investigating someone is a lie.
4..That Kate refused to answer 40 question a lie,her Portuguese lawyer has said he told her to refuse to answer them.
5..Kate and Gerry were "missing for 2 hours "(recorded police statement),,,a lie, they were being followed by the media all the "missing" 2 hours.
6..Kate phoned sky news first before the phoning the police..a lie....sky news denied this.
Etc..Etc
All the above were police lies now no longer mentioned and they were deliberate lies by the Portuguese lying police. They told the "killed by accident lie" then subjected the McCanns to 8 hour pressure interviews in the pretence they "knew" Madeline was "killed by accident"
All PPPP Portuguese Police Porky Pies
I have news for the Portuguese police liars, UK people do not "confess" to something they did not do because of monkey tricks. What the police do not have is real evidence

I call the McCanns desperate parents.
And if the evidence indicates the need, yes a fair trial, would be good. At least that way we would know for sure and they could get on with their lives.
What would I like for them: for their daughter to be found alive, and well. And reunited with her parents.

Definitely on trial for Child Neglect: Not sure about the evidence if you mean on trial for murder/manslaughter. They re suspects but have not been formally charged - yet!

it would be a waste of taxpayers dollars to put them on trial. There is no evidence that points to them. What - the so called "DNA" they found in the car? Please - she lived with them! Her DNA would be on everything they owned.
The judge in Portugal makes the decision whether or not to indict somebody based on the evidence he is presented.
Apparently there is none because he chose not to. Hell, they aren't even calling them back to question them anymore.
I don't see the point of a trial - people won't stop talking bad about them anyway. They are going to have to learn to live with it - sadly because it will never stop - even if they had a trial and were found not guilty.
My heart goes out to them. I think trying them for child neglect would just be kicking them when they're down. They've learned the ultimate lesson of why you never leave children alone - no jail time is going to teach them any better than the pain & suffering they are enduring every minute of their lives

i would like to see the mccanns be given a conclusion to this nightmare. i would like to see madeleine found safe and well. i would like to see the person who took her rot in jail. i would also more than anything like to see a society which did not rip people to shreds and accuse them until all the fact are firmly established in a court of law. above all i would like to see a safe world where children are not harmed or exploited x

There will be no trial, they have to much backing now, money talks, and British justice is the best money can buy

There should be two trials, the first for neglecting their children and the second relating to their involvement in the disappearance of their daughter.
