McCanns appeal to the European Court of Human Rights

[G-Unit]

"Obtaining justice is important... However long it takes"..

I agree with that sentiment entirely.


"I think the Portuguese verdict was just so unjust it had to be challenged"

Based on the evidence provided by the McCanns- I can't agree on this statement. Sorry.

I don't think they expected to have to prove anything, just complain like they did in the UK. I think Amaral was supposed to fold and make a deal.

as amarals claims were clearly defamatory Im sure he was expextced to fold...... dont think anyone could have expected such a perverse judgement as the SC upheld......as the ECHR will confirm.....all my opinion

Yes everything was to be on their terms.  what  a laugh when Gerry was shot down by the judge... heehee what a hoot. He was asked to shut up. Oh my how that went down a treat.  The witnesses were' friends'  no independant or expert witnesses were availiable. maybe because there are none.

I'm sure it'll have a bearing on what SY aren't doing as well.

“Kate and Gerry are not going to let him get away with what he said about them.”

But they face a huge wait for potential justice, with their pal remarking: “It could take up to eight years by which time Madeleine, if she is still out there, would be a young adult into her 20s.”

The ECHR stated today that the case has not yet been dealt with and there is “no fixed time for examining it.”

An ECHR spokesperson said: “The case McCann and Healy v Portugal is still under consideration and there is no fixed time for examining it. There is no date fixed date for any judgement or decision to be delivered.”

Thanks carlymichelle.

To me it would seem that the ECHR hasn't even looked at the case presented by the McCanns.  At least we now can be certain that they have presented an application.

Didn't we already know that?  I thought I did.

It was previously unconfirmed, I believe, certainly by the Court.

It would be unprecedented for the ECHR to make any comment whatsoever. Applicants are told not to contact the court with queries, so I'd be surprised if  it spoke to anyone else.

I suppose if that is the case, then it is impossible for anyone to confirm that Tracey's claim of a spokesperson's statement  is actually true

Why McCann and Healy v Portugal I wonder? She was Kate Marie Healy McCann in the Portuguese proceedings.

[faithlilly]

Why after months of silence from the parents are these stories coming out now ? Surely this is old news ? 

Although the narrative of the pieces appears to be their application to the ECHR look a little deeper and the thread that runs through them all is Madeleine is alive and they are not guilty.

I don’t believe that’s a coincidence.

I dare say we'll have an 'expert' along shortly to explain

Lots of ranting from 'sources'. I too am wondering why this sudden flurry of non news. Perhaps it's nothing more than Nick Pisa needing a payout.
