McCanns appeal to the European Court of Human Rights

[faithlilly]

kate was asked a specific question...was she clinically depressed. Being a doctor...unlike you....she understood the question and gave the correct answer...there is a difference between clinical depression and situational depression...try google

So she felt ‘a bit down’. I guess you would after your daughter had disappeared.

kate never described her feelings in that way.......you do get aome things so wrong

From her own words, if you are not clinically depressed you’re simply ‘a bit down’.

Btw I see you’re trying to avoid my window question over on the other thread.

[Venturi Swirl]

I’m not doing any such thing. You said ‘people who are drepressed’. Kate specifically told the judge she was not depressed.

You said Kate felt “a little bit sad” you are,taking the piss.

What does “it (the book, the documentary and thr interview) had an effect (on the couple) but that is to be expected” mean then?

I don't know. She seems to think they proved they had certain problems, but she doesn't accept that those problems were caused by the book. DVD and interview; they already had them.

The book, DVD and interview had an effect, she says. Why? Well, it was to be expected. She doesn't say what the effect was though, and she makes no effort to describe it.

In my opinion she might as well have said 'Of course it had an effect, what else would you expect?'. It's an assumption.

Judge:

“Because of the statements made by defendant Gonçalo Amaral in the book, in the documentary and in the interview to Correio da Manhă, authors Kate McCann and Gerald McCann suffer permanent anguish, insomnia, lack of appetite, anxiety and irritability, preoccupation and indefinable fear."”

Carry on taking the piss though, you do it so well.

That was proposed by the McCann's lawyer. The judge said;

"that this psychological state is predates the book launch, the documentary and the interview and was not caused by them"

Carry on misquoting if you wish, though and I will carry on correcting you where necessary.

So the judge said it DID have an effect, glad that's sorted then.

I did not misquote, please don't lie.  I copied verbatim an excerpt from the judgement.

Apologies. It was ‘ a little down’.

[Brietta]

There is nothing worse than losing a child,
and that pain was amplified by both the book and the documentary.
