well yeah because when someone gets convicted for a crime we all believe the police are doing what they're supposed to be doing: gathering conclusive evidence and acting accordingly. Why, if a rapist is jailed for his actions do we have faith in the police but when the McCanns continue to walk free 12 years after the Madeleine crime we lose that faith? You can't have it both ways. Like I said the McCanns have been at the center of this entire investigation for the whole case so I think if anything concrete was to be found the police would have acted on it by now, especially considering they've become pariahs of society through all the speculation.

That's two different things though.
Someone who is found guilty in a court of law and jailed, there was evidence beyond a reasonable doubt to convict them. Someone walking free with a "not guilty" verdict isn't "proven innocent" and a lot of cases won't make it to court, not because someone is innocent but because there is insufficient evidence to prove they did it. Surely, you know the difference?
