The main damage done re this book is that people reading it were deliberately led to believe by the author that it was a first hand account written by the Lead Investigator who had had personal contact with the McCanns.    This would definitely influence people to believe the contents IMO.

Nothing could be further from the truth and I hope the fact that Amaral had never met or spoken to KM and only briefly met GM was made crystal clear to the judge.

Did Amaral explicitly state he had met Kate ?

Yes!

There was a moment in a meeting ...

Amaral goes on, in detail, to describe Kate's emotion, as if an eye-witness ...

But did he explicitly say he had met Kate ?

Then you will be able to quote the passage.

Goncalo Amaral in his interview to El Mundo

Q – It was said that Kate was very cold. But I've seen her cry.

A - So did I. She is not cold. There was a moment, in a meeting with them, when we set out the sofa theory [that Madeleine fell off it and died]. Kate puts her head down, looking distant, and, after a few seconds, she looked up again as if nothing had happened. She looked like she was escaping from the role that she was interpreting.

Q - When you raised the hypothesis that the girl might have died after falling off the sofa, did Kate McCann answer?

A - She did not answer, she just dropped her head for a moment, as if she was about to faint. She had an emotional collapse that lasted just a moment.

So they don't have two-way mirrors in police stations in Portugal ?

So I'll ask again. Where does he explicitly state IN THE BOOK  that he met Kate ?

Good to see you conceding defeat with your customary good grace, Faith ...

No need to concede defeat when the opposition has failed to make their case. Now I'll ask again.

Where IN THE BOOK ( because that is what the litigation is about ) does it say Amaral met Kate ? It's a simple enough question yet one it seems you are avoiding.

What the above illustrates is what we've known all along, that Amaral is a lying toe-rag, because by Portuguese law you cannot ask incriminating questions of informal witnesses, and it doesn't get much more incriminating than that Madeleine fell off the sofa and died, and what happened next ...

There is no record of any such question being asked during the arguido interviews which is the only legal context (by Portuguese law) where it could be asked.

'Amaral is a lying toe-rag'

Now that is reminiscent of the hate towards Amaral by both the mccanns and their supportive 'crew', which you certainly are.

Go to Portugal and say that.

Also, repeat your allegations as regards Martin Grime, to his face.

im not concerned with what the passage illustrates and I'm sure the judge won't be either.

Now I will ask again. Where IN THE BOOK does it explicitly say Amaral met Kate ?

What would the average person assume that "we" means?

ETA: Offhand, I don't recall him stating it in the book itself, but what's not clear is whether the interviews are part of the litigation or not.

Looks like a possibility. otherwise why would the question arise........



Judge - Do you know about interviews of Gonçalo Amaral in the Correio da Manhã?
GMC - says that he read many interviews.

Judge - What about interviews upon the thesis of the book?
GMC - argues that there were many articles on the theme published in the Correio da Manhã and also in other newspapers.

Judge - Do you remember an article published in July 2008 in the Correio da Manhã?
GMC - remarks that articles were published almost on a daily basis and asks whether he can see the headline.

- The Judge asks the clerk to show the article to Gerry McCann, says that the header is "Madeleine died in the flat", and asks the interpreter to translate the beginning of the article.

Judge - Do you remember it?
GMC - says that he saw that in many other newspapers.

- The Judge observes that this was the first of a series of excerpts of "A Verdade da Mentira" published by the Correio da Manhã.

Shifting your goalposts, Faith.

Earlier you asked:

Did Amaral explicitly state he had met Kate ?

Answer (to your earlier question!)

Yes!
