So what's next in the libel trial saga?

Got it all wrong didn't he.

Amaral?

Of course he did.

That's why they sacked him ...

So has the nature of the crime been established ferryman ?

Obviously it hasn't, so Amaral's basic premise of an accident in the apartment hasn't been disproved.

[Alice Purjorick]

You haven't got the hang of the lawyer/client relationship at all, have you?

Oh yes! from years of experience one way or another. It seems you haven't though.
But no matter if it pleases to believe that the McCanns were the victims of a wicked time constraint around which there was no way then who am I to upset your ideas. I don't buy it.

No, he was spot on.

That's why Kate hates him so much.

[Mr Gray]

One of the defences against defamation is the truth...so if amaral has the evidence the court would find in his favour..has he produced the evidence..no...so what you and he are stating is opinion...that's all

It's the right one though.

As the great SY have proven with their Gerryalike burglary/gardener guy, who murders kids & changes their pyjama tops. Or was it the pig raping farmer & the receptionist?

Think you've got that a bit mixed up ... "the pig raping farmer" should actually read as ... the evil rapist (but he's not reeeelly that bad because he was only a teenager at the time) pig farmer.

So, what IS next in the libel saga?

The judge has to sift through the evidence provided by Team McCann..ha !  That won't take long, they didn't actually provide any. Well any which could be held up to scrutiny.

Expert witnesses were lose on the ground, or just missing, EVIDENCE provided by scientific means to collate data pertaining to the 'people who stopped looking for Maddie due to that book' was not available, and claiming for monies for and on behalf of a 'missing' child's suffering' is just sickening to be honest. Maddie could be dead- how can a judge award money under such circumstances?

I found it farcical, a bad production of a Pantomime. ho ho Yes they did suffer badly and much, much worse than their daughter being 'abducted'..ho ho Oh no they didn't, oh yes they did.  And IF they did, then my opinion of them as humans and parents of a missing child is lower than it can go. Even if they 'win' I hope the award is paltry in the region of 2 Euros.  Well, they are not doing it for the money.....ohb look he's behind you, ole money satchel!

He's completey innocent.

He was stitched up by the PJ, they do it all the time, so I'm encouraged to believe.

That girl was abducted.

I know whodunnit, & I've been to Belgravia twice, but alas, I cannot divulge anymore.

[Mr Gray]

It's the right one though.

and that's another opinion

[Wonderfulspam]

and that's another opinion

That's your opinion.

You forgot "and it was only the once AND she was asking for it".

This display of disgust for this rather vile individual would be a lot easier to stomach if it wasn't coming from posters who dismiss as unimportant semen found on an eight year old missing child's pants.

Are you talking about me?  I sincerely hope not.

Was the man in question convicted of a crime?

Don't you think he should have been ?
