Innocent until proven guilty but "shocker" Mrs Matthews was arrested?!

Ok, so yeas she is innocent until proven guilty but why the big media shock at Shannon Matthews mother being arrested??

Makes me sick, a police investigation costing £millions and worse off all (perhaps) down to someone who has made absolutely zip contribution to society, financially or otherwise. What a waste of perfectly good oxygen she is (guilty or not).

aye.

But what chance of a fair unbiased trail?! I was in a room full of jurors this morning and they were all laughing about it.

In a word, none...

It always looked suspect though as to why anyone who had been taken against their will, would have hidden in that bed and stayed quiet. I mean think about it, the bed had two separate compartments, the slightest noise would have brought attention, as would have chucking something through the window, why would she cooperate unless she was in on it?

Yeah, I know she's only a kid and some may feel it's a harsh view but then kids of that age get done for stabbings, drugs and robberies and the like nowadays.

I commented on this about 3 weeks ago here as the whole thing just seemed a bit iffy all along.

Why should those middle class MCCanns get all the fame, glory and money from the fund?

As for money being spent investigating this being wasted? Why stop now after spending millions on the Diana inquest.

And you wonder why the gov. needs to tax us left right and centre.

I wonder how long this farce in going to go on? I mean what are the chances now of Madeleine being found, really...absolutely nil, yes I know it's awful to say that but there is no chance at all she'll be found.

I was not impressed one bit when her parents used the fund to pay their mortgage, breach of trust I think for those who donated it, thought it rather sick to say the least.

IMP the fund should be divided up now between children’s charities.

I suspect the many profiters in that case were solicitors and the investigation agency (whose name escapes me for the minute) who IIRC just before Christmas stated they would have Madeleine home in time from Xmas??
