Supreme Court rules against the McCanns in damages case.

If his theory is wrong so what? It's a theory.

But he claims it is a fact, or will become a fact, which implies to me it is not just a theory.

He never said that.

You certainly have nailed your colours to the mast.

Repeat what he did say then if you know for certain please.  He seems to have said many things but I suppose it is what he said in his book and his documentary and on TV that is in question.

[Robittybob1]

Under the laws that give you freedom of expression are you allowed to call someone a child killer without any evidence?  That was a general question.  Amaral might not have said those words exactly, but you would have to read his book for a clue.

Brietta has given her version of what Amaral says "Amaral wrote a book claiming that Madeleine McCann died in the apartment and her parents were involved in her death and disposed of her remains.
Not content with writing about them and making a career on Portuguese chat shows capitalising on his unproven and unprovable theory."

Brietta's version of events or book is irrelevant.

It is a good translation.

Do the laws relating to freedom of expression allow you to make claims like this without evidence?

[stephen25000]

No, it is her biased version.

Court action in Portugal against Amaral is finished.

Amaral's against other parties.........

So are you admitting they got it wrong, but it can't be changed, so get over it?

The McCann's made several mistakes.

They will now have to pay for it.

In my view, just desserts.

The police are allowed to have their lines of inquiry, but Amaral tries to claim that these will become facts. 

[Miss Taken Identity]

The police are allowed to have their lines of inquiry, but Amaral tries to claim that these will become facts.

Amaral never said they 'dun it'  he couldn't, he had no hard evidence, but he was involved with the investigation so he had alot more knowledge about the goings on that you and Brietta  AND the McCANNS ( who, incidentally tried to stop the files from going public I believe).. dems de facts.

[Robittybob1]

Has anyone worked out where these documentaries are?  "71. The claimants Kate McCann and Gerald McCann, in collaboration with the British television station Channel 4, made ​​a documentary about the disappearance of their daughter, entitled Still missing Madeleine, lasting 60 '.

74. The documentary SMM, translated Maddie, Two Years of Anguish, was broadcast by SIC on 12.05.2009."

[John]

Members are reminded not to quote allegations from Mr Amaral's book as doing so contravenes our rules on defamation.

This is from the judgement:
 "However, even in the filing order serious reservations are raised as to the likelihood of the allegation that Madeleine had been abducted. Taking into account the doubts raised by the Jane Tanner/Kate McCann version.

Those doubts that the investigation intended to see clarified by the reconstitution of the events mentioned in the closing dispatch, an initiative however that was made unfeasible by the witnesses' failure to appear after being summoned to".
