They are going to lose their medical licenses and their children, they should have been upfront from the very start.
Most of us here knew their was something going on, but didnt have the evidence to back it up.
Dear KansasCutie,:blowkiss:Wait, why would she only get 2 years?? Shouldnt it be life???
Wait, why would she only get 2 years?? Shouldnt it be life???
Dear KansasCutie,:blowkiss:
Probably because there is no "2 years", they just want her to confess.

Yes.....I cannot imagine why so little hard time was offered up....surely anything short of life would be preferable?
UNLESS, the PJ can kind of 'sucker-punch' them and get a really stiff sentence for abuse of a corpse and other charged they would SURELY face??
I haven't posted on Madeliene's disappearance before but this news was kind of shocking to me also, since I thought at the most they were negligent to go to dinner and leave the kids alone in the hotel room ~ for several nights. I really did think it was the perfect set-up for some pedophile to grab her.OMG do you guys really think the mom killed her or knows who did? I still just can NOT grasp this...Never one time did I ever think her parents had anything what so ever to do with her disapearance.
Don't the LE of any country have to honor any deal made? They should have to, imo. If they go too low, they should have to suck it up. Anything else is a GROSS abuse of power, no matter how much I want a perp to fry.
Hello there dear Brefie,:blowkiss:
Police use many tactics to get a confession if there is not enough evidence to arrest. Deception plays a big part in interrogation.

My dearest Brefie,:blowkiss:Helloooooo ....how's you??
.......Absolutely, and I believe that's the way it should be UNTIL it gets to a plea bargain....then, I believe a deal is a deal. LE should NOT renege on that deal. I cannot imagine any lawyer would allow that to play out.
My dearest Brefie,:blowkiss:
I am doing very well and it is always a great pleasure to hear from you. Always my pleasure, dear Brefie.
As I said, I do not know how it is there. But here they cannot secure a sentence.
Many years ago here, there were two young men who were interrogated seperate and both were told that the other confessed. Interrogation= no solid evidence. The "other" did not, anyway one committed suicide shortly after being released on bail in belief that his friend confessed.

Lets keep this in mind: the report of a "deal" being offered up, is via a McCann family member that claims to have heard it from Kate. We do not know if this deal is true... remember, Kate and them shouldn't be discussing the case in the first place, with others (how many times have we heard them say they couldn't disclose something due to the secrecy laws in place in Portugal... nothing has changed in that aspect)
Besides, read what this lawyer has to share about the laws of Portugal... if these laws are tried and true, then someone is lying out the bum about a deal being offered:

My dearest Brefie,:blowkiss:DS....you charmer you....'tis MY pleasure
(I hope nobody thinks these are sarcastic swipes at each other )
It was my understanding that they can say anything until the 'what's on the table' time.
Although, I am surprised to learn no deals in the US since I watch 5 Law and Order's a day and they seem to always be making a deal.
I am more inclined to believe YOU than a tv show!!
I too have thought the deals could only be made by the prosecutors and DA's, but as said before I too know nothing about the law in Portugal that could be related to this case.My dearest Brefie,:blowkiss:
I do not forsee anyone here thinking that we are "taking swipes" you are very much Respected here and our fellow Websleuths know what an :angel: you are.
As far as Law and Order goes, I do not watch it. All I know is that the District Attorney's Office and the prosecutors deal with the evidence provided by LE. They are the ones who negotiate the plea deals.
