Gonçalo Amaral confirms he will appeal the damages decision to higher Court.

[G-Unit]

They didn't tell a 'story'. 

They told the truth.

Not (necessarily) the unvarnished truth, because memory is fallible, and their recollection of a complex and fast-moving sequence of events (necessarily and inevitably) is not going to be perfect. 

More, that disparity and imperfection (in recollection of events) will be magnified by translations and re-translations, and by statements taken in reported, rather than verbatim, form ....

But the truth to the best of their ability and the best of their recollection.

So people's stories are by definition false? I wonder where you got that impression?

[Mr Gray]

You don't seem to realise that Amaral's book wasn't significant to many. I was able to spot the McCann's strange reactions and utterances for myself, for example. Even if the book had never been written people would still not believe their story. Even if they win this appeal people will not believe their story.

you are wrong to say people will not believe their story...some will and some won't. We have no way of knowing the numbers but from personal experience their version of events is believed by most poeple

Well from personal experience I can say that while some people feel sympathy for a missing child, they don't believe their story.

Many others just don't believe them , per se.

Some others don't give a monkeys about this case.

Mind you my father believes them, then again he thinks Tony Blair is an upstanding man and a Socialist.

Maybe you need to get out more. 

[Alice Purjorick]

Therefore some believed she wasn't abducted.
How many did you discuss the case with and how many thought she wasn't abducted?

[Mr Gray]

Not really dave.

Those I have discussed it with are made aware of the known facts, and what the mccanns did.

now I understand...they doubt the mccanns once you have given them your one sided view of your distorted facts...such as the dogs recovered human remains...now I understand

[stephen25000]

Maybe you need to get out more. 

Nah, unlike you you it seems, i do get out, and don't stick my head in the sand.

No dave, I didn't tell them that.

You enjoy making things up, just like the mccanns.

[Mr Gray]

No dave, I didn't tell them that.
