Don't Judge Too Hard
Pray don't find fault with the man who limps
Or stumbles along the road
Unless you have worn the shoes he wears
Or struggled beneath his load
There may be tacks in his shoes that hurt
Though hidden away from view
Or the burdens he bears placed on your back
Might cause you to stumble too
Don't sneer at the man who's down today
Unless you have felt the blow
That caused his fall, or felt the shame
That only the fallen know
You may be strong, but the blows
That were his, if dealt to you
In the self-same way at the self'same time
Might cause you to stagger too
Don't be too harsh with the man who sins
Or pelt him with words or stones
Unless you are sure, yes, doubly sure
That you have none of your own
For you know, perhaps, if the tempter's voice
Should whisper as soft to you
As he did to him when he went astray
Would cause you to falter too.

And how would you suggest the investigation in the McCanns case should continue if the McCanns are avoiding those 40 questions and doing everything possible to put other people between themselves and the Portuguese Police Investigation ?
This isn't a question of "finding them guilty or innocent" -- it is STILL a question of helping police with their enquiries.... and so far I have not seen much help from the McCanns. They are in my eyes guilty and it is obvious they don't give a toss what the rest of the world think.
And as for finding the Portuguese Police incompetent... that is a laugh. Ok, let's humiliate the Portuguese Police by answering those questions. If the questions are so ridiculous
then they should not object answering them.

In the court of public opinion there is and has never been a concept of "innocent until proven guilty". People can have any opinion they want based on the available facts and if they decide to think that someone is guilty of a crime before being convicted then that is their right. Please keep in mind that a finding of innocent by a jury or judge does not mean that the person did not commit the crime but only that the state could not prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that they did. I don't believe that this even applies to the media but they do play along by insuring that they use the term "alleged". You are only innocent until proven guilty in juxtoposition to the state not other individuals.

are you refering to the condemnation of the mccanns by a lot of people ?
i am neither one way or another, but i feel that the 'pro-mccanns' are blinded by the fact that they find it inconceivable for a pair of parents to hurt their child, let alone a middle class pair of doctors
the police must have a reason for raising their suspicions, i think it is quite xenophobic for the brits to say they are completely incompetent
and also i think particularly the brits favour the underdog and have reacted to the percieved arrogance of the mccanns who firstly try to deflect any blame away from themselves and also think that they have the right to fund their own investigation and call the shots as it were
i am positive that most of the stories that appear in the press are a result of their spin campaign and i think that is quite distasteful
i could be wrong of course

Looks like this statement has become a "theory" like evolution should be, but unfotunately is now taught as a fact...
What is the world coming to?? The truth is no longer truth, justice no longer justice, freedom no longer freedom...

Im with you
trial by media is a very worrying and seeminlgy widespread epedemic in british culture nowadays.
Juriers are influenced and so are judges by the public perception of diferent cases and its leads to unsafe conviction based on nothing more than here say.
Also it can provide a strong claim for the prosecution to get someone off a charge, As a point of reference Ian Huntly very nearly got off because of the medias influence on the jury

some people really are innocent then some plonkers called a jury decide they look like a crook so they must have done it.
I hate to have to decide someones fate like that they'd never get a verdict till i was happy with the evidence.

Well if you see a gangster put a gun to an innocent bystander's head and blow their brains out, then that's pretty guilty to me.

whatever happened to common sense and gut instinct... what ever happened to due process and respect for the law...go back to portugal mr. mccan and help the police with their enquiries. hiding away in the countryside is not helpful to a criminal investigation
