Goncalo Amaral.

[Eleanor]

He's discussed blame Re the parents but only now he only mentions neglect..  Imo you simply won't accept true facts.  He hasn't mentioned his so called theory for perhaps two years now

Amaral is worried about The ECHR decision.  This could get nasty if Amaral loses.

Have no doubt that this is all about Amaral, Portugal notwithstanding.

I think you are completely wrong here, but we shall see in the fullness of time.

[Eleanor]

I think you are completely wrong here, but we shall see in the fullness of time.

I am wrong about what?  Amaral or The Supreme Court?

Amaral did write a Libellous Book based on his supposed knowledge of The Case.

Eleanor is absolutely right.  If the McCanns win in Europe that could lead to the libel case being retried in portugal

We could get into a argument about that, now seeing as neither one of us or any one else on here is employed by Carter Ruck, (that we know of) "Libellous Book" is but an opinion not backed by law.

If ,buts and mauve's why not wait for the verdict which ever way it goes.

I tend to agree but it's sceptics that are repeatedly telling us it's going to be thrown out

[Eleanor]

Not backed by Portuguese Law.  Which is entirely suspect.

I think that's just your wishful thinking.

Whoever wins, that'll be the end of it .

Portuguese law is entirely suspect in your opinion. In reality most countries on the continent of Europe have similar legal systems.

Not on here it won't be.

Have you any knowledge of other European Countries beating up suspects?

It's not unknown;

the infamous reputation of the French system of custody (garde à vue), suspect interview (evocatively called interrogatoire) and the frequency of subsequent confession, not unassociated with the violence reported – the most notorious case concerned Ahmed Selmouni, who took France to the Court of European Human Rights alleging he was both physically and seriously sexually assaulted while in police custody.

IMO

It's part of Portuguese law.. Not wishful thinking at all

1991.  Some fourteen years before Portugal were still doing the same thing.
