McCanns appeal to the European Court of Human Rights

[Wonderfulspam]

One more day to go after what has seemed to be an interminable wait.

The devil will be in the detail, if there is any, of course.

And of course it is about Amaral.  He wrote the wretched book wherein he Libelled The McCanns.  He had no proof that they were involved and still doesn't have any after Fifteen Years. Although I don't know if this is relevant to The ECHR, yet.

How's the case against 'The Abductor' going though?

Evidence stacking up against him after all this time is it?

I mean, here we are, 15 years after Amaral said there just wasn't any abductor, & the 3 expert investigative forces still haven't brought 'The Abductor' to justice, despite all the abduction evidence.

Who could possibly have foreseen that?

Well, me actually.

His unfounded allegations are at the root of the approved malice directed against the continuation of seeking answers as to what happened to a missing child while at the same time impugning the innocence of her parents.

You would think that having been subjected to the closest scrutiny possible over the past fifteen years; having public pronouncements made as a result of that scrutiny in conjunction with other evidence by British, German and Portuguese police and prosecutors that neither the McCanns nor anyone associated with them were of the slightest interest to their investigations, the penny might have dropped.

I think the Supreme Court ruling which deliberately took away the right to the presumption of innocence has to play badly in the European court.
But as you say, the devil is in the detail.

As I understand it The Portuguese Court ruled that Freedom of Expression was more important than a Right to the Presumption of Innocence.  Which basically means that anyone in Portugal has the unproven right to say whatever they like about anybody.

I suspect that this is a leftover from the years and years of The Dictator Salazar when only The PJ were of any importance and ruled in his name.  Fear being the operative word.  So some of the people who grew up during The Salazar Reign don't really have much idea of what is acceptable in 2022.

In the current case at The ECHR Brueckner is of no importance.

Brueckner is of no importance in the case now being considered by The ECHR.

You need to get on the right wavelength.  The ECHR aren't interested in Brueckner.

Have an estate agent visiting in the morning, I'll be more interested in what he has to say.

You seem to be saying Brueckner abducted Maddie.

Wouldn't that be libel?

No-one had heard of Brueckner when the case was submitted to the ECHR.

I'm much the same, have to take the dog to the park then go food shopping so won't have much time. Could you post up a synopsis of the judgement if there's anything interesting
