Former Portuguese detective Gonçalo Amaral wins appeal in damages trial.

Its a real pity that in all this mess a little girl is forgotten.  How the hell will all of this find Madeleine?

no one is forgetting maddie.....you are totally wrong imo...as far as amaral is concerned she is dead and the death coverd up by her parents...how the hell will that view find maddie

[jassi]

Unless there is a confession,  she is not going to found - IMO.

may well be true

Exactly, it won't.

Unfortunately, I believe this will carry on for years, one or another.

and the mccanns in doing so will inevitably get further reaction to their vendetta against Amaral.

It will merely reinforce the perception they are not interested in finding Madeleine, just looking for money.

I shudder to think the impact this will have on their other 2 children in years to come.

[Mr Gray]

MOD NOTE

We seem to be getting back into the personal attacks scenario.

Kindly cease and desist.

Thanks.

perhaps if the two posters who have had abusive posts removed this morning were named and shamed the same thin would not happen again tomorrow...and the next day. I have messaged John

wrong again..imo...this court case is completely seperate to the search which the Mccanns have driven forward themselves..

The effect on the twins will be worse if their parents are perceived as a pair of criminals ..as in amarals book...and that is why the court case should continue

That is what I have thought for some time.

[Mr Gray]

That is what I have thought for some time.

and again i think this may well be correct...or information from family or friends of the perp..or information from the public...that is why it is so important to establish amarals thesis is wrong

[jassi]

It doesn't matter if Amaral is right or wrong, it will still all hinge on a confession - again IMO

[Carana]

The statements were attached to a memo dated 24th October. They were made to Leicestershire Police on 16th May. The memo says;

As requested, appended are the statements of Arul and Katherina Gaspar.

The PJ knew about them before 24th October or they wouldn't have been able to ask for them.

My understanding is that the PJ must have known about them (or even had received them) as well in order to request them. They could have simply been misfiled and a new copy requested.

[Mr Gray]

It doesn't matter if Amaral is right or wrong, it will still all hinge on a confession - again IMO

perhaps but more likely information from a third party..imo

[jassi]

I would have expected any third party information to have already emerged - it has been  the best part of 9 years.

If the general public had anything to say, it has already been said, hence all the false sightings.

If Amaral wins this libel action Madeleine will be forgotten, the principal reason why it is essential the McCanns prevail.

Utter and complete tosh.
