Gonçalo Amaral confirms he will appeal the damages decision to higher Court.

[Mr Gray]

Leave that to the court.

then leave the McCanns to the court

[G-Unit]

And your problem with my explanation of why Amaral is likely to lose his appeal is, what?

Your explanation has absolutely nothing to do with the judge's ruling, so nothing of what you referred to will be considered by the appeal court.

They will consider the ruling which said that Amaral broke judicial secrecy and that he ignored the presumption of innocence which, as an ex policeman, he was supposed to uphold.

[pathfinder73]

The so what is that Amaral lied that no one talked out about murder

And (more seriously) he lied that Harrison turned the investigation into one for a little girl assumed dead.

Harrison did no such thing (on either count).

A girl vanishes and after 3 months there's still no trace. What do you think the police think happened to her? Harrison's report was written before the dogs were deployed - 23/07/2007.

you are presuming he has appealed the judgement and not the sentence...which we do not know...but he does talk of appealing the sentence in his statement

"It was British police who said they must consider not only abduction but homicide as well."

The NPIA provided a checklist of what should be done, advising the Portuguese police to include the McCanns in their inquiry and take new forensics at their holiday apartment in Praia da Luz.

It is interesting the UK police recommended looking at abduction and homicide.....no mention of an accident and cover up

[slartibartfast]

Apparently it is against forum rules to make posts whose sole objective is to goad.  Your last two posts to me have been rude / goading.  As you are a mod and should be setting an example to the rest of us, I trust you will reflect upon the error of your ways, and delete your two last posts to me.  Yours in anticipation, Alfred.

Since you are making wild claims with no evidence, I think my response was fairly mild.

Slipping Off topic, Guys?

Get real. You don't cover up accidents but caught perps usually say that it was.

And there was me paying you the (comparative) compliment of assuming you'd read the files (and Amaral's book) ...

So you think that the outright untruths (at most charitable); lies (at probably more accurate) Amaral has told that lower the reputation of the McCanns are irrelevant?

The truth or otherwise of Amaral's thesis was not considered in the judge's ruling, so it is irrelevant as you have been told many times.

Amaral's lies (at most damning)/inaccuracies (at most charitable) that traduce reputation are deeply relevant to a libel trial.

Best to wait and see what the appeal judge decides, I think.

and wait and see what Grange says rather than speculating about the parents role
