I wonder what the judge would have decided about the search if that part of the writ had been dealt with back in 2010?
The book was banned.
The book was unbanned.
The book was banned again.
The investigation wasn't proven to be harmed by the book.
Award the parents of the libellous/non-libellous book record damages.
Civil justice -Portuguese style. It's akin to a soap opera.
Had the McCanns not had substantial funds/influence at their disposal, the search for Madeleine would have completely ceased well before the archiving process.
The book, in hindsight, actually did the McCanns a favour. It enabled the world to see what a pig's ear Amaral & his team had made of the original PJ investigation & why the case against the McCanns was based on lies & misrepresentations. It was a massive own goal - unless its true purpose was to prevent any case reaching trial should the perpetrator(s) ever be determined.
How wrong can you get.
The investigation was far from perfect, just as the SY one is, in the latter even less so, as it has only looked at avenue.
More people are now aware that the abduction lacks credence, as there is no evidence to back it up.
The succession of 'images' of abductors has become increasingly laughable.
People have seen the mccanns employ incompetents to 'search' for them.
They have also seen a large amount of tax payers money go down the drain.
They have also seen the mccanns claiming leaving children by themselves as exhibiting 'responsible parenting skills'.
What is truly laughable is the mccanns story, their changing and inconsistent accounts, and their pursuit of revenge and money which is quite sickening.
IMHO of couirse.
