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

So you co-operate and answer police questions to prove your innocent. By not answering questions don't expect to be cleared as suspects in an unsolved case. If you are not helping but hindering the police investigation then it's stupid to think otherwise.

1. On May 3 2007, around 22:00, when you entered the apartment, what did you see? What did you do? Where did you look? What did you touch?

To begin there is never a requirement to prove innocence.

Second, certain elements of the Pj (far from all, but certainly the ones who interviewed the McCanns, and Kate in particular) were out to get them, with ridiculous, loaded, questions.

Kate did the wisest thing and clammed up.

No one should have blamed Gerry if he'd chosen to do the same.

The prosecutors presided over it all with wise eyes and adjudicated judiciously.

WOW!  took them ages to get round to asking that one ... how many months after ? ? ?

[Mr Gray]

Can you imagine what would have happened if the mccanns had answered all questions and thus proved their innocence...would posters on here have accepted them as innocent

That's a big assumption davel, would answering all the questions have proved them innocent?

absolutely not...that's why the statement was so ridiculous...

That doesn't matter. SY are asking witnesses questions 8 years later.

wow! Took loads of witnesses to get round to speaking to police or media  about what they saw...how many months/years after?

They say sarcasm is the lowest form of wit ... so having failed with that one allow me put it to you as simply as I can.

It is my opinion that if Dr McCann had not already been asked that specific question ... the police were somewhat remiss in their duty.
The ideal time would have been immediately after Madeleine's disappearance when things were still fresh in her mind.  Or even when she was still a witness while under lengthy questioning prior to being constituted arguida ... when she would have been obliged to answer.

Gerry answered all his questions and is considered guilty by some ....

Tannerman seen carrying a child close to the crime scene was the first suspect not the McCanns. They were leaving Portugal after being accused of involvement in August. They left the next day after both being declared arguidos.

It is absolutely right that we are subject to the same high standards of investigation as anyone else. Kate and I have, and will continue to assist the police in every possible way. GM Blog Day 96 - 07/08/2007

Gerry did talk alot of sh it didnt he from the start to the end, have to give him a medal for trying though he often put his foot in it poor dear, lol

[Jean-Pierre]

Well, where to start


-they were made to look utterly stupid judging by the pathetic performance of some of their "witnesses"
- they had a claim trashed even before hearing
- most of their claims were denied
- most of their claims remain unproven
- their action will have a bad pr effect either way

- the whole trial will always go down as a money grabbng exercise, by them, confirmed by the very fact they waited a whole  year to sue...€€€€€€€€€€

Interesting

Which claims were denied?

And who is appealing the result?

Read the judgement

[Alfred R Jones]

Interesting that the media reported the judgement as a huge success for the McCanns - are they all ignorant of the facts?  Or are they all part of Team McCann, or what?

They accepted Team McCann's statement that 'it was about harming the search' and none of them pointed out that the judge found that point not proven, so take your pick. Ignorant, scared of Carter Ruck, supportive, could be any of them given the state of our media these days.
