McCann suspect ‘pre-convicted’ in rape trial – lawyer

The main suspect in the disappearance of Madeleine McCann has been described as being “pre-convicted” in a previous rape trial, according to his lawyer.

The man, who cannot be named for legal reasons, is currently in custody awaiting trial for the alleged abduction of three-year-old Madeleine McCann in 2007.

His lawyer has argued that the media coverage and public perception of his client has already deemed him guilty in the eyes of the public, which could potentially sway the outcome of the trial.

It is essential for the legal process to be fair and unbiased, and for all individuals to be presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

It is important to remember that accusations and suspicions do not equate to guilt, and it is vital for the justice system to operate without prejudice or preconceived notions.
