Would the libel case had a different result if pecuniary damages weren't sought?

The McCanns were not suspects......we were told they were not suspects......right up until they were.

And even then they got it wrong.  Well it was important to test  them for parents can be involved, but they had no evidence against them, other than a few minor discrepancies in their statements.

Cadaver odour cannot be removed by domestic washing.

I'm sure it can.

It doesn’t matter what anyone thinks except SY/PJ.

Hopefully what they think is based on evidence.

So are you saying Kate could have washed the trousers she wore when in contact with a dead Madeleine?   When would this have taken place?   Kate was wearing those trousers when she did her appeal,  just a few days after Madeleine disappeared.   The days when she would have been with the police,  distraught after finding Madeleine missing,  so she stopped to wash her trousers you think?   Why not just wear a different pair of trousers?

Any answer would be pure speculation.

The Mark Warner laundry did a wash for them on Saturday 5th, I believe.

Wasn’t some laundry sent to the wash soon after the disappearance?

From one of the cleaners


That she remembers that on Saturday 05/05/2007 having washed clothing belonging to the missing girl's family and she checked that it was children's and adult's clothing. This service was carried out by her colleague Silvia Cravinho. That on the next day Sunday it was her colleague Bernadete Calado who went to deliver the clothing directly to the missing girl's apartment.

The Mark

And, of course, Russel was also pretty efficient with a washing machine

Did she come forward and say,  those are the trousers we washed for Kate McCann after Eddie alerted to them?   After all they were black and white check she would remember.   Strange they didn't ask what adult clothing there was.

Sorry I still can't believe that after holding your dead child,   you would then get the trousers washed a day or so later so that you could wear them for an appeal to the abductor,  would you want to wear them again?

Cuddlecat also went through the washing machine.
I wonder whatever happened to him?

Have we ever had a Cuddlecat thread?  Perhaps now would be a good time to discuss his fate, on a separate thread.

Wow!!  Why on earth did a family sending dirty clothes to the laundry not set the alarm bell clappers into overdrive.

In my opinion that item of tittle tattle has everything to do with invasion of privacy and absolutely nothing at all to do with the topic of the thread.

How did we get so far off topic?
