Supreme Court rules against the McCanns in damages case.

[Mr Gray]

You have said why you do, but it doesn't mean I believe you.

Is it for truth , justice the Mccann way ?  *&*%£

Does it matter what the McCanns, their friends and supporters and the media have to say or have said in the past about Amaral? In the context of this thread it matters not at all. What matters is what the Appeal Court said and the fact that the Supreme Court ratified their judgement.

Exactly.

However, they can't get over it.

They never will. It sticks in their craw.

I support the McCanns but you don't have a clue why
You think you do but you dont

No Sceptics have any real idea of why we do this.  It is actually quite simple for me, and I can no longer be bothered to explain.

Justice is Innocent Until Proven Guilty.  It is really that simple.

The decisions made by the Portuguese courts will stand. The costs of the McCann's action plus 50% will be paid by them. Amaral's assets will be returned to him, probably with interest paid by the McCanns. Anyone wishing to write a book about the case in Portugal can be confident that they are unlikely to be sued whatever theory they propose.

If they are as intelligent as some believe they are the McCanns will have learned that believing you're right isn't sufficient in a court case, where you have to provide proof. Isobel Duarte will have learned that when an Appeal is judged on points of law and not on 'the facts' it's because the judgement they are examining was also made using points of law and not 'the facts'.

Right On.  Now wait for the kick back.  Everyone is entitled to an opinion, according to Portuguese Law.  This includes The McCanns.  So Amaral can hardly blame them if they use this Judgement to defend themselves.

The McCanns have held the field for years.

There is nothing they can say, which is anything new, other than their mantra.

I don't know the man, but if it was me they could say what they liked. He has been vindicated by the Judiciary of his country in which he never lost faith. It will certainly be interesting to watch if they try to turn this judgement round so it favours them.

They have a spin master par excellence to assist, so they'll probably give it a go
