Supreme Court rules against the McCanns in damages case.

[G-Unit]

Why not?  It is a book of Lies.

Can anyone prove that Amaral sat down to write a book with the deliberate intention of deceiving people? Can anyone even explain how he hoped to get away with that when the book described the investigative process in which many other officers were involved? Or were they all complicit too? Has a conspiracy been uncovered?

I have always had great hopes for this Forum, and still do.  This is almost certainly the best that any of you are ever going to get.

I do know that I was most definitely not the first choice as a Moderator for some of you.  But I am.  And at the time none of you wanted to take it on.  I can only think that I had a brain storm.  I must have been mad.  I have never treated any of you unfairly.  In fact, when push came to shove, I have always given the benefit of doubt to sceptics because this is the sort of person that I am.

Back to the Topic.  The Court decision has left the likes of me a mazed.  But none of it means that Madeleine is dead.

As you are not personally involved that shouldn't really be of much concern.

Beyond reasonable Justice then it isn't.  Or have you discarded the right to innocence before being found guilty?

You've lost me.  Who are you claiming has had that right removed by this court decision?

Just to clarify, my delete button is red hot again, and my username is filling up the moderation log at the moment.

It would be so much easier all round if points were made in a civil manner.

At the end of the trial we see Sr Amaral is not "toast" as was predicted he would be.

I have a very good memory
John tried this last week
During the first trial based on how things were going I said amaral would lose
Second trial I said amaral may well win
Then said nothing about the Supreme Court
I thought amaral would win as I think at least one if not two of the judges here had already been involved in overturning the ban

So I've been very accurate in my forecast

You are taking the thread off topic

[Mr Gray]

Amaral has acted as judge and jury and found the McCanns guilty
That is totally unjust

So, as one with no personal involvement at all, what do you propose doing about it?

[ferryman]

have you got a cite...............proving that ....

you don't know what he knows yet.............

It ought to be a point of law that you can't tell lies that lower reputation and get away with it.

Seemingly, in Portugal, it isn't (a point of law, that you can't do that)

why should you expect me to do anything about it...thats a rather silly thing to say

And yet oddly enough that is exactly what you believe Kate has done, with the cooperation of her group of seven friends.

You were the one raising the issue so I naturally thought you were planning to do something about.
Those of us who genuinely don't care don't normally raise the subject.
