Ferryman is completely wrong.  The PJ wanted Kate to admit to what was basically manslaughter or accidental death.  There never was any murder charge.

It seems only ferryman in this board believes this as i havent seen anyone supporting his theory/assertion/facts, funny that

They had been uneasy about Amaral ever since his book was published and consulted their UK lawyers about it. Eventually they spoke to Isabel Duarte in November 2008 by phone. Six weeks later Gerry met with her in Lisbon. Apparently Amaral's documentary, shown on 13th April 2009 was the last straw and they took the decision on 20th April, with Duarte, to sue him; meeting with her on 12th May, Madeleine's birthday. Was this interview in May? I think the search is mentioned so much because Amaral's activities were seen as hampering it, particularly in Portugal.

Yea more rot, sorry didnt see this post
If they were upset they could have asked for far less money   You know it wasnt about money they said' so what stopped them for just asking for 1000 euros instead of a million, they were greedy [moderated]

The McCanns (from the point of imposition of their arguido status) were murder suspects, as the culmination to a murder enquiry.

It's all in the report.

Demanding €1 million in compensation for something which started out and was intrinsically linked to their own crass lack of parental care and naivety was always going to fail.  I'm not in the least surprised the Appeal Court rejected such folly.

doesn't give anyone the right to defame them and in many countries....including the USA they would probably have won the case...and it isnt over yet

IMO the amount sought was because they did not want Amaral to profit by one penny from his book,  IMO -   In their minds this was the man who not only tried to blame them for their daughter's disappearance, but then went on to make a profit out of those false allegations whilst also encouraging people to believe Madeleine was dead.   So a very understandable stance for them to take in those circumstances IMO.   I would feel exactly the same.

I have changed the word frame to blame and removed the word false since to frame someone requires the introduction of false evidence, in addition it is not known yet what is false and what is fact. The Portuguese were entitled to pursue the McCanns and Murat and designate them arguidos on the basis of the evidence before them.  That is procedure in the real world.

IMO, they were seeking revenge and money from a man who was doing his job, just as any other copper would have done.

Have they pursued any other copper with the same views ?
