So what's next in the libel trial saga?

[ferryman]

No they didn't make millions...they have highlighted the danger children face from abduction...something that was severely underestimated

Key point: they didn't make millions.

In fact, they didn't make a single penny.

Everything raised was in the quest for truth and justice for Madeleine ...

[Miss Taken Identity]

Money has been sought to pursue the quest for truth and justice for Madeleine.

I'm not the slightest bit surprised you find that hard to understand.

That is the candy coloured version.  The reality is we know where money has gone. Mortgage payments four star hotels... lawyers..PR.. more lawyers..not for defence but to sue people!!

Suing Amaral to get money for truth and justice is deeply offensive.

I will concede one mortgage repayment.  (Possibly) paid back later.

Where do you get the rest from?

They are not suing amaral for money,,,but for truth and justice

OK  Why not sue for...let's say €5000.00 ? instead of Million. AND why get your children to sue him? Oh come on .....

[Mr Gray]

as I said...Justice..it's very important...amaral should not profit personally from his disgraceful book...the days of diamond earings and jaguars are over

But it appears it was far easier ( and far more comfortable)  to find truth and justice in the rather agreeable surroundings of the dom pedro hotel?

Mindst you they were probably playing it safe by using the fund to pay for stays there rather than risking it in the lawless hinterland, eh?

It's a pity the Portuguese police didn't persue justice  rather than supporting one of their own who made a personal fortune by libelling the innocent parents...fortunately...via the libel trial ...he's about to lose the lot

[Alice Purjorick]

The only thing I can think of at the moment is, "How much longer is this going to take?"

No change there then six months down the track eh Ellie?

I became a bit bored and flipped through the first dozen pages.

[Alice Purjorick]

no Im saying amaral has lost based on what we have seen happening..perhaps Im just a lot better at assessing evidence than you and others are.....I am confident i will be proved right

When I wonder?

I don't know about you, but I suspect I might be senile before this is resolved.

[Mr Gray]

the length of time this trial has taken is a poor reflection on the Portuguese justice system and of amaral himself..imo..

however progress seems to have been made and hopefully we will have a judgement early next year. I realise appeals may happen but a positive initial judgement for the mccanns will happen and I think that will be fantastic

or they will get their just desserts, and be left with egg on their face, and a large legal bill.

[Mr Gray]

I have given my opinion on what the outcome will be......you don't have the courage to do the same

[Mr Gray]

Yet another immature comment.

Yet all too predictable.

There's a large legal bill coming dave.

Enjoy it.

That's like saying...someone's going to win...you don't have the conviction to make a prediction
