The case where an editor and a jounalist of a magazine were charged with and convicted of aggravated defamation?
In other words they were convicted of a criminal not a civil offense.
The ECHR upheld the findings of the Finnish courts because the magazine story, printed as fact, lacked supporting evidence.
The ECHR mentioned the presumption of innocence because the article says the baseball players did the crime, which would harm a trial if ever one took place .They didn't act on that because it wasn't part of the application, they just pointed it out.

The case was very different to the McCann case. It hadn't been widely reported, no investigation had taken place and so no files had been released. Amaral used the evidence gathered by an official investigation and his
conclusion matched that of the investigation as at 10th Deptember 2007.
you can point out disimilarities.......its article 8 vs 10...i could probably quote 20 more. amaral claimed he could prove maddie died in the apartment and the parents covered it up...thats "proved"...he didnt,...the evidence did not support it. The investigation didnt say there was proof maddie died in the apartment.
amaral stated a fact with no evidence to support his claim...thats why having looked at other echr cases im confident teh mccans will be successful.
