Supreme Court rules against the McCanns in damages case.

[carlymichelle]

Everyone has picked up on 'they declared the McCanns aren't proven innocent'. The judges actually say the McCanns weren't cleared by the archiving dispatch. They said that because Duarte claimed that they were. She said;

already cleared before through the filing dispatch of a criminal investigation [page 40]

The judges replied;

“And let it not be said, also, that the appellants were cleared by the archival dispatch of the crime-process.

so their lawyer told them they were cleared even though  we now know they were not??

Isabel Duarte seemed to believe the archiving dispatch cleared them. She has been corrected by the judges of the Supreme Court.

There was misunderstanding of the archive dispatch before she got involved, however, this news report seems to equate clearing of the arguido status with clearing of involvement;

Madeleine McCann: Kate and Gerry cleared of 'arguido' status by Portuguese police
The parents of Madeleine McCann have been cleared of involvement in their daughter's disappearance,

''It should not be said that the appellants were cleared via the ruling announcing the archiving of the criminal case''

That was the situation when the case was archived, and has been discussed numerous times on here, though people such as ferryman continued to deny it.

Now if Duarte didn't know that, she was incompetent.

She isn't coming out of this covered in glory, is she?

I wonder if the Mccann's have sacked her, like they did/didn't Clarence Mitchell.

If they try to take Portugal to court at the ECHR and claim their human rights have been breached, that will be an even bigger mistake.

Not very much in the first instance of lodging an appeal.

They have a record of attracting unsuitable/inadequate people. Metodo 3, Oakley International, Krugel, and now, it seems, Duarte.

One or two might be feeling a bit uneasy that they've backed the wrong horse- not that they're going to admit it.

Thank you, Jassi.  Better said  by you than me.

This post is bordering on Libel.  Unless you can prove it.

What nonsense.  Nothing has actually changed, so why should anyone feel they are "backing the wrong horse"?  Or did you just say that to goad?

Nothing has changed
The McCanns have never and will never be charged with anything because they are innocent and anyone who thinks otherwise is deluded imo
