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

It's not speculation. The report of the phone call is in Cristovao's book, translation on TB's site.
I shudder at justice which sentences you because you can't positively identify the person who assaulted you despite clear evidence you were assaulted.

I shudder even more at 'justice' which doesn't deem proof of torture as sufficient grounds to overturn a conviction.

You're incredibly rude aren't you? Firstly I'd like a cite for me purporting to be bright.  As far as I'm concerned I have never made any boashut upl claim about my intelligence.  Secondly, "curly dees"?  No idea what that is.  Thirdly, I guess I must be dim as I can't work it out.  I can't work out why asking someone's opinion on a chat forum is anathema to people like you.  It seems we're not permitted to ask people what they think about things anymore.  Is that a new forum rule?

I have never had that levelled against me before. Outspoken and abrasive yes.

Where is he living?   Find out for yourself

BTW ... all the speculation about his "hiding" in Brazil ?   He was courting a Brazilian lady ... now married to her

Got that wrong AGAIN, didn't you?

You're angry Sadie.

The mask is slipping.

Correia is undoubtedly hiding away.

   i think sadie is too emotionally involved in the mcann case  i dont  mean that in a  mean way it is just my opinion  so are several others on here

Do all potential witnesses appear in cases ?

So, who was convicted of torture ?

A rhetorical question, of course.

It is pretty normal for a defence team to call witnesses to court if their testimony can acquit their client. I wonder why they weren't?

I would therefore say they were incompetent in not doing so.

Just as well the McCanns employ good lawyers, eh?

Don't you know why?
According to scuttlebutt on here everything Portuguese is as bent as a dockers hook.
Cue a Bret Harte moment.

"Which I wish to remark,
And my language is plain,
That for ways that are dark
And for tricks that are vain,
The heathen Chinee Portuguee is peculiar,
Which the same I would rise to explain".

Can you remind me what happened in April 2016 ?

The Panama papers were released??

But seriously....there is a 50/50 chance that will be overturned.

You can hope.

However, the April judgement was based on Portuguese Law.

I don't think for one minute everything & everyone in Portugal is corrupt. The country is no better or worse than ours; it's just different.

So was the original judgement.

[stephen25000]

So was the original judgement.

Not quite.

That is why it was overturned on appeal.

[misty]

Not quite.

That is why it was overturned on appeal.

It was one judge's interpretation of the law. Who knows which way the Supreme Court will swing?
