McCanns appeal to the European Court of Human Rights

[sadie]

Anyway. I'm glad to see you are still around Mr Davel. Hadn't seen you here so long I was starting to wonder if you hadn't had personal issues.  Happy Ney Year.

Are you in league with Myster (Ret Sym) perchance?  Are you part of it?

I have noticed things and WILL support Davel if he wishes.



I am being quite seriously privately abused as well.

I just noted his absence from the forum is all. There's only about seven of us regular members left, so when one drops out, can't help but notice really. When it does happen, I sometimes start to wonder if there hasn't been a terrible accident, or even an abduction.

What is the actual difference between dropping someone as a suspect and clearing them as a suspect?   Is one a vertical move, the other horizontal?

Telling the press you are cleared is propaganda. Arguing it in court means it needs a factual basis, which it didn't have.

You credit the McCanns with have far more power over the press than they actually have IMO.  When the McCanns and Murat had their status as arguidos removed it was interpreted and reported internationally as both parties having been cleared.  The McCanns did not need issue a press statement demanding that the media refer to them as cleared.  It is perfectly acceptable and understandable to refer to both parties as cleared of suspicion.  It is a fact.  They had been and to this day remain clear of suspicion.  I know it’s hard for you to come to terms with, but that is your problem to deal with, no one in the real world really gives a toss if the word is cleared or dropped, so try and get over it.

The final police report clears Gerry of being Smithman, does it not?

Further on this issue, the testimony of MARTIN SMITH was considered, pages 1606 and following, reporting the sighting of an individual carrying a child, in one of the streets that lead to the beach. It was said that the child could be MADELEINE McCANN, although it was never peremptorily stated. Some time later, the witness alleged that, by its stance, the individual who carried the child could be GERALD McCANN, which was concluded when he saw him descending the stairs from an airplane, pages 2871, 3991 and following and 4135 and following. It was established that at the time that was being mentioned, GERALD McCANN was sitting at the table, in the Tapas Restaurant.

Gerry was cleared of being Smithman.

I know something you don't know!... the name of Madeleine's latest sprog.   Sorry, can't reveal it, but I've been in touch with OG to pass on my findings in a special lavender-coloured folder to keep yours company on their bookshelf-cum-shrine.

WARNING!

I don't often get involved in the discussions but today a member posted a fake news item credited to the Sun newspaper.

Such conduct is totally unacceptable and if repeated will result in a suspension for the member who posted it.

Finally admitted defeat.

The McCanns were given the right to lodge an appeal – but the Mirror can now reveal they have admitted defeat. The three-month appeal time limit has expired and the case is now listed as “definitif” – final – on the ECHR system.

There was no compensation or costs order made, although Kate and Gerry still face a massive legal bill.

There is no suggestion of any wrong doing by The McCanns.

Who said there was, this is about the failed attempt at the ECHR, where's the resident expert ,Davel.

Well they were wrong to pursue a case against Amaral & Portugal.
They got that wrong.

He reappeared when the hope of a final appeal was raised, but obviously the McCanns have finally accepted that they can't win this case.

I was reading the Appeal Court judgement which overturned the injunction in October 2010. It was interesting to see that it mentioned things that were later repeated by both the Supreme Court judges and those of the ECHR. Things such as the fact that TOTL was based on the PJ files, and that the McCanns had limited their right to privacy by making use of the media. An interesting read.

The ECHR said that there were none.  You left that bit out.

Amazing. Something has finally reached a conclusion
