McCanns appeal to the European Court of Human Rights

[barrier]

We also differ in our understanding of legal processes. The Portuguese courts were not examining whether Amaral's opinions were correct or not, just whether he'd breached the McCann's rights by expressing them.

Well what ever it was, its done and dusted now, it'll sink in in the end.

In Portugal anyone can tell lies about whoever they want to.  Why am I not surprised?

[Venturi Swirl]

Please stop accusing me of wrongdoing, it's very boring.

Stop twisting what I write and I will have no cause to pick you up on it when you do.

I really wouldn't count on it. There's still genuine expectation around here that Brueckner will one day be charged

Personally I hope he is never charged and that Madeleine is found alive.

So do I.  But someone took her away somehow.

Whether he is or isn't has no bearing at all on the rulings of the Portuguese Courts and the ECHR.

But it won't half make Portugal look stupid.  If they don't already.  Which they do, obviously.

I don't think that likely, but without a body, one can never be sure just what crime was committed that night

According to whom?

Abduction. It was a criminal act by a stranger, as explained today by VS's desperate appeal to authority.

[Venturi Swirl]

Personally I hope he is never charged and that Madeleine is found alive.

What??  Even if he was responsible for abducting her in the first place?!

Only in some eyes.

[jassi]

Aye, mainly the jaundiced eyes of p'd off supporters

They'll find a way to justify (to themselves) the McCann's crushing loss.
