But no, they're the Keystone Cops and LameMedia, so they don't apologize for ruining people's lives with false accusations.
I thought, on average, Euro-cops were just plain bad, but this must take the cake.

And so on.
The Forensic Science Service in Birmingham is reported to have written to the detectives complaining that they had "wildly misused" their findings.
The Portuguese police have been stung for months by the (well deserved) criticism in the British press. And now the Portuguese police are trying to blame the parents, using 'evidence' from a car rented 5 weeks after Madeline's disappearance.
With relations between the British and Portuguese police so bad, is there any chance that the Portuguese maid will be found and just possibly, that the fate of the child will be known?
