McCanns: have just hired the most expensive legal team in Portuguese history - WHY ?

We read that the McCanns, in addition to their top UK lawyers Michael Caplan QC and Angus McBride, and Lisbon-based lawyer Carlos Pinto de Abreuand, they have now hired Rogerio Alves, the president of the Portuguese Bar Association.





This already amounts to the most expensive legal team in Portuguese history, though not in the UK or the world just yet.





But WHY ?, they have only been named 'suspects' in Portugal and have not been charged. Indeed being a 'suspect' in Portugal gives them the 'right to silence' but they have done everything but be silent, criticising the Portuguese Police on an almost daily basis while at the same time saying they are willing to return to Portugal to help the authorities.

They know the Portugese police believe they did it, they also know the PP has not got enough on them so by calling their bluff they hope that the PP will drop the case. However this is all just sabre rattling by the McCanns and basically means nothing....|||Rubbish answer mate.

Report Abuse


|||Because there are thousands of innocent people in prison! No, I'm not wearing one!!|||Well, if you're innocent and don't want to waste any time focusing on what matters and is the life of your child, then yes, you'd do what they did if you can afford it: find the best lawyers.


How would that help them to be locked up if they know they didn't do anything wrong??


When you love someone who needs an operation that might save their life, wouldn't you want the best surgeon to operate on them if you could afford it??


So, what are you repproaching them with exactly???


I have no idea who is responsible for Maddy's disappearance, but also, those people, whatever they do, someone is going to say it's because they are guilty.


Just give them a break and let's focus on Maddy!


Unless you know something we don't!|||Why the hell shouldn't they?|||My sentiments exactly!


Why, maybe just maybe they are guilty!


There is something not right about this whole fiasco!|||Because they don't want to go to jail for something they didn't do. Remember too, that if they are found guilty, the police would stop looking for Madeleine, as they would be convinced they have found the culprits.


It's obvious, really.|||branson is paying|||because the police cant find Maddie so they are blaming the parents





but where is the money coming from?|||because the Portuegese police are being pressured (and bribed) by local businesses to close this case in a way that Portugal will be safe and tourists will flock back there (if they frame the McCanns then they can say Portuagal doesnt have violent crimes because the McCanns are british!)|||I know Michael Caplan personally and he too has 6 toes! I believe that this has led him to where he is in life. I too have 6 toes, so nah nah nah naaaaa. We are better that you 5 toe freaks!!|||Because Mr Pickle is paying.(not wearing a thong at the moment)|||Anyone who answers this question has to state if they are wearing thongs|||C'mon are you serious? You obviously think they are guilty of abduction or murder (negligence def yes) but you must remember others disagree. Truth of the matter being WE DON'T KNOW. Therefore IF you were totally innocent and were being made a suspect in your very own child's disappearance with conflicting accounts of what you done in the media every day and divided opinion at the least throughout Europe you are not going to tell if you would not hire the best legal team available! Again the other side of the coin - if you were guilty you would do the same so there's your answer.|||Anyone in their position would be stupid not to employ the best legal advice available. As Richard Branson et al have pledged money to pay for it I do not see any sinister motive in their doing so. As for the so called PR man, he replaces the former spokesperson who has returned to her own work. His main role is to deal with the media who are ready to pounce on any word or phrase, remove it from its context and twist it and spin it to the most outrageous extent and then present it as fact for their readerships, many of whom have IQs so low that it would embarrass an ameoba to claim ownership of one at that level. The McCanns need the help of a skilled spokesperson trained to give careful answers to questions posed by skilled journalists whose motto is " Never let the truth get in the way of a good story." Whenever the McCanns appear in public they are mobbed by journalists bombarding them with questions, and they are doing the right thing in keeping their mouths shut. This in no way suggests that they have something to hide. More likely it suggests that they do not trust the press to accurately report their statements.


The British news media are constantly banging on about spin doctors misleading the public. The British press are the biggest spin doctors of all. Their profession is "spin". In their eyes nothing on earth is as it seems. Truth cannot simply be truth. It can only be true if it is their version of it. Journalists spend their entire working lives spinning and the only thing that surprises me about that is that they all haven't screwed themselves into the floor years ago.


To those people who keep pointing their fingers at the McCanns and saying "I know that you are guilty". I shall give you my response in words that befit the intellectual level of your arguments You know nothing. You are talking bullshit.|||Because they are so clearly GUILTY!!!!!! If anyone can't see they are GUILTY them they are clearly blind. The McCanns should be strung up. They know who did it and they have wasted people time and hard earned money to find a little girl that is so clearly DEAD! If they area not GUILTY I will wat my hat.|||a promo for virgin atlantic perhaps? (no thongs thank you ;)|||1. Richard Branson financed the ever extending team McCann


2. A series of narsacisstic actions keeps the spotlight on the parents


3. As Gerry stated he wants the 'best out come for us"


4. More importantly - as Kate Mc Cann once said in a Freudian moment "the truth will out"|||they are as guilty as hell|||Guilty or not, they need good legal representation. Since Richard Branson is


putting up big bucks to help with their defense, money is of no concern to the Mc Canns.|||Because the McCanns have remembered.......the advert.....


....how does it go...?...oh yes...." Bring out the Brans.on "....,


when you're in a Pickle........!|||dunno








signed





a fence sitter|||To defend themselves against libellous remarks from people like you.|||there not doing alot to find their daughter then!! They should be ashamed. How does hiring a PR man help either!!|||Cos they are being stitched over there ? possibly|||If you were being accused of something you didn't do would you not hire the most expensive legal team you could afford, I know I would|||Murcia has said it all|||WHY, because they are being fitted up. Seems obvious to me.|||simply because they know that in the near future they will have to be better than O.J. at getting out of a tight corner.|||Is it not the case the PJ see no point in asking them to return as they will only exercise their right to remain silent despite claiming they are willing to help with enquiries?





I don't know why they feel the need for this super legal team - not to mention the publicity team they have behind them too.





Maybe they have something to hide?|||has it occurred to you that they may be innocent......


INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY


and this isnt a defence for them its a statement for all people.|||For a start,stop believing everything you read,and even if that is the case,what do you expect them to do? They are being framed by the incompetent police.
