Former Portuguese detective Gonçalo Amaral wins appeal in damages trial.

You stated the Archive Report.  Mark Harrison's report is NOT the Archive Report.

This report considers solely the possibility that Madeleine McCann has been murdered and her body is concealed within the areas previously searched by Police in Zone 1 around Praia Da Luz.

Mark Harrison.

Where did I mention the archive report?

Where did I mention the archive report?

To be clear, the (shelved) enquiry accused the McCanns of murder, and Amaral either lied or was incompetent when he claimed that no one talked about murder.

You really must makes things clearer in future.  The 'Shelved Inquiry' means only one thing here and that is the Archive Report.

Id just like to ask in which report Amaral or anyone else accuses the Mccanns specifically  of murder rather than just asking for Harrisons expertise for a murder/body concealment scenario (as opposite to a missing and befell an accident or abduction scenario)

As far as I can tell, All possible scenarios would have been looked at with the information the PJ were given. If they didn't know about the unlocked door the walked and wandered would not have been given room space for example. It is standard police proceedure to suspect family members and or those who saw the missing person last, they rule them out as they investigate... nothing sinister about that at all.

Read Harrison's terms of reference (handed to him by Amaral's boss, the one who later died of cancer).

I have and cant find evidence of what you alledge,(sp?) perhaps a specific quote might help

*The authors search review terms of reference were set and agreed with the PJ Algarve regional Director Guilhermino Encarnacao, they were;
 
 
 

1. Assist the Judicial Police and GNR in assessing new or previous areas searched and give opinion on the best methods and assets to provide assurance as to the absence or presence of M McCann's concealed remains.
2. Act as a "critical friend" to the officer in charge of search planning and management and offer immediate and enduring peer review until case resolution or search suspension.
3. Assist in the development of framework models such as scenario based searching to aid homicide disposal searching.
4. Consider further opportunities or areas for search in order to locate M McCann as applicable to the latest intelligence and information provided.
5. Where appropriate, provide independent and impartial advice on the enabling and disabling factors of specialist resources available either within Portugal or elsewhere in body detection.
6. To assist in decision support where requested by testing and challenging claims made by persons offering unorthodox search methods or devices to aid locating M McCann.
7. Where appropriate and requested, assist in advising on procedures to procure any non Portuguese specialist assets that are deemed to be relevant and useful.

This report considers solely the possibility that Madeleine McCann has been murdered and her body is concealed within the areas previously searched by Police in Zone 1 around Praia Da Luz. Other scenarios or possibilities may on request be considered and be subject of a further report.
 

Is there any evidence Harrison was invited to explore any other scenario?

I am currently of the opinion on the available information and statistical datasets that if death has occurred, that it is possible that Madeleine McCann’s body has been disposed into the sea at Praia da Luz. (See my second report entitled “NPIA OP TASK Search Doc Beach and Marine”).

Mark Harrison, third and final report.

*To clarify that Encarnacao laid out the terms of reference and Harrison worked to them.

Harrison reached no conclusion of his own.

[ferryman]

Certainly by English libel law, Amaral's statement that no one talked about murder would, in its own right, cook his goose.

[ferryman]

Out of curiosity does anyone, apart from certain idiots elsewhere (to this board) believe that Harrison would have directed a search aimed at looking for Madeleine's concealed remains (somewhere in proximity to the apartment), then concluded that if Madeleine was dead, it was most likely her remains were jettisoned into the sea?

What alot of cherrypicked words and sentences to NOT really answer my question. Maybe Im havng a blonde day. Does anyone else see where the Mccanns are "accused of murder" by anyone in a report in which MH hmself had stated that it was a sensible thing to do ie commission hs work/report(cant remember his exact words) considering the time lapsed after disappearance?

Looks that way ...

I thnk your goose is cooked myself as it has been pointed out to you over and over that he was not talking about the Mccanns murdering Madeleine....cherrypicking, shortening statements to suit is n gettng you too far FM, you are free to believe and think what you want and attempt to present a case, it just isnt working

I don't make any allegations.

I just state facts.
