The McCann v Gonçalo Amaral libel trial as it happens.

[Carana]

Probably. Looks like his lawyer does. The book was never intended to 'prove' she died - the documentary may be more provocative, but that's TV: it's on the same kind of level as Nancy Grace's shows.

Your opinion of Nancy Grace shows being?

What is your point DCI ? I take it you do have one ?

Ask Astro, what her point was in posting it

Low

[Carana]

its pretty obvious what happened...the judge threw her dummy out of the pram

I don't find it obvious. There could have been a serious personal problem, or there could have been a judicial process issue that hadn't been resolved.

Time will tell.

She was bringing posters who don't speak Portuguese a translation of the article. Can I assume that wasn't your aim ?

Go play with someone else. Instead of attacking posters.

Was that directed at me ?

It was you who posted the article. If you don't want questioned about it, don't post it.

Simple really

Goncalo Amaral is still an Arguido in The Leandro Silva Affair.  God alone knows how long that one will take to get to Court.  They have tried very hard to bury that one.

Cheers, Eleanor, I had forgotten about him

Haven't we all forgotten so much.  Six years of horrendous lies and misinformation.  No sane person could possibly remember it all.
And no doubt someone will tell me that this case was thrown out.  It wasn't.  They tried.  But it has been reinstated.
Goncalo Amaral is an Arguido.

It was not buried, the case was dropped through lack of evidence.

Talk about clutching at straws.

in the early days the McCanns were supportive of the PJ even though they had reservations early on that they were incompetent. How can you be supportive of a police force that wrongly accuses you of a crime. if you support them you are endorsing their actions. the McCanns are not asking for Portuguese cooperation. SY are. it should have nothing to do with the McCanns

For God sake. Hostile to them?!!!! If they were portuguese they would have been put in jail immediately, if for nothing else for the crime of coarse negligence. Instead, with the help of UK Ambassador and Council they were not disturbed with searches or hash interrogations...there is where the PJ was really incompetent, by following orders from the Ministry of Justice and the General Attorney.

I'm glad you agree that the pj were incompetent.
