The European Court is going to have a fit when they consider this dreadful Miscarriage of Justice.  And only one Portuguese Judge is going to come out of this with any honour.

Does anyone know his name?  The Judge who voted that Leonor Cipriano is innocent.

Is this the one.....Santos Carvalho, one of four members of the Supreme Court of Justice called to decide on the future of Leonor and John Cyprian, convicted in the first instance by the death of joana, wanted to absolve the girl's mother of the crime of murder.
This judge is convinced that "there was no direct evidence, circumstantial only, even with regard to the victim dying"

Thank you.  No where near enough attention is paid to him and his opinion.

Thank you.  No where near enough attention is paid to him and his opinion.

Only an opinion, fortunately the other three supremo judges came to the opposite opinion and rightly so. Leonor is a murderer by her own free admission.

You always try to protect the person you love. HE HAD NOTHING to lose by saying that he was already convicted. He wanted to try and SAVE the women he loved.....simple.

So no Evidence, only Opinions.  And not even unanimous.

And what's free about admission under torture?

Sorry if I have misread your post but, Who wanted to protect the women he loved?
 It was the Judge who had the final vote on the reduction  of the sentence after the jury came out equal. It was he who made  the statement that Leonor should be Acquitted.
John has always blamed others....His sisters friend for persuading him to shoot someone(in a previous crime).
His Brother for taking and hiding the body of Joana
Leonor for killing her child

[Mr Gray]

So still an astonishing lack of any real evidence

It was a stitch up.  Plain and simple to see.  And only one person had the nerve to say so.

That might depend on what you mean by "free admission"...

The biological father of joana, the fifth witness to be heard, has ensured that he only knew that Leonor was a pregnant girl when "were already separated".  . When the baby had only five months, Leonor was handing her to him: "I Stayed with her two days".  Later, the woman returned to make another attempt to leave her daughter, to whose livelihood, admitted not contributed: "I was not to sustain the vices of Leonor. If you gave her money, she spent it in whimsy", he revealed.
