McCanns appeal to the European Court of Human Rights

[Mr Gray]

Thank you, Brietta.  Oh Dear.  Worse than I thought.

It's much worse... Amnesty as I understand  was started by a British lawyer who read about two Portuguese students jailed for raising a toast to freedom

Another ruling against Portugal in the ECHR, this time about the right to a fair trial. In this case the accused was cleared in the First Instance Court but the Appeal Court overruled the decision. Neither the accused or any witnesses were heard by the Appeal Court & evidence was ignored.

Amaral wasn't heard either was he? so the parallels here are the accused overturned a decision.

What's relevant is that sceptics seem to think that the SC in Portugal cannot possibly get the law wrong whereas the truth is it has a very poor record when it's decisions are challenged

If the McCann case doesn't get passed the application stage, it won't matter what other decisions the ECHR make.
