Método 3, Marcos Aragão Correia and the campaign to discredit Gonçalo Amaral.

[G-Unit]

This expression from Marcos doesn't sound like the Marcos I met.

You speak the language John.  Did you see Marcos say this himself ?   Or has it come from a third party ?

In other words possibly another myth ?



Myths are everywhere in this case.  A huge effort has been made to discredit The Mccanns and anyone associated with them.  Is this another myth ?

That's so interesting that you met this man. When was that? Did you bump into him or did you contact him in advance? Where did you meet; Spain, Portugal, PdL or elsewhere? Did you make a special trip or fit him into a holiday?
Please elaborate, it's fascinating.

After the trial of several PJ officers which saw Gonçalo Amaral found guilty of failing to report, Leonor Cipriano's lawyer, Marcos Aragão Correia, said: "Target was hit, Gonçalo Amaral was convicted".

Need we say any more?

Let me get this straight,   a lawyer for Leonor Cipriano,  was able to find Amaral guilty of failing to report and said 'target was hit'  when Amaral was found guilty.

So what is wrong with that?    A lawyer having success in finding someone guilty?    Lawyers are always happy if they are successful aren't they,  they punch the air,  they hug etc. etc.   why have things got to be different with Amaral?

Or maybe Brazil.

Charley's Aunt springs to mind.

Correia stated initially, his underworld contacts told him Madeleine had been killed and her body was in a lake. Part of what he said I've left out.

Later he admitted, I believe, that he made it up.

Now what does say about Correia ?

I can think of some choice words

It says that he reported what he heard,  then admitted that he believed the person made it up.   If he had ignored what he heard,  and Madeleine was indeed in the lake,  what would you have to say then?

She was murdered.

As to Correia, he is a fantasist and self proclaimed psychic.

Perhaps he knows what I will type next.

Who was murdered?   I know nothing about Correaia but from what you are posting there is no proof that he set out to nail Amaral.

Denial won't work Lace.

Too late for that.

What????

[Mr Gray]

What????

It seems posters can now claim speculation as fact without providing any solid evidence

Wrong. Posters have to provide cites for their statements. If we relied on purely solid evidence both sides would struggle. Every mention of abduction would have to be deleted.

Then what cite has been given for the lawyers TV appearance
None

Furthermore it is not acceptable here to claim the abduction as fact but we are expected to accept this supposed statement on tv with no evidence

Here is a link which has the video of comments made outside court on 22/5/09 after Amaral was convicted (scroll down)

Unfortunately there is only a transcript of Amaral's comments but I cannot hear Correia mention the name Goncalo Amaral when he spoke. Is there anyone who can translate for us?
The phrase over which we are arguing actually appears as "Today's Law Quotes" so perhaps it is only as reliable as the journalist reporting it.

Yep, on there too.
