Supreme Court rules against the McCanns in damages case.

[stephen25000]

I had wondered why amaral was so quiet
This is obviously why

Don't count on that.

[Mr Gray]

Don't count on that.

No one saw this coming

[Benice]

The SC said it was not their position to judge the McCanns guilt or innocence and then did exactly that
Surely you can see the dichotomy

Exactly.   One is clearly a direct contradiction of the other.   Totally bizarre IMO for the judges of the SC to deem that contradicting their own ruling is an acceptable stance for them to take.

The SC repeated the facts as they know it, they did NOT offer an opinion or speculate.

[Angelo222]

You might agree with it and you also agree with the torture of ciprianos and nether has any place in a civilised justice system
No one has to prove their innocence
Another own goal by the SC

The Ciprianos got a bashing and what's more they deserved it.

Its all over davel, maybe you should realise that.  There is no further appeal over the damages claim.  Now its Amaral's move to seek restitution.

[Eleanor]

We shall see.

Perhaps you need to listen to other sources. *&*%£

I have listened to all of the sauces, Stephen. For ten years now.  Most of them are rubbish.  You just need to isolate the carp.
Which I am quite sure you are capable of.

I do get your main point.  But this remains a matter of opinion.  I do not think that you believe that The McCanns harmed their daughter.

[Eleanor]

You correctly pointed this out very early on whilst the sceptics were still celebrating

It always takes the likes of you and me a minute or ten to get our heads around the latest farce.  It has always been so.

[Angelo222]

The McCann's are €500,000 worse off thanks to the Portuguese Supreme Court judgement.  Add to that the damages which Amaral can now seek and the legal fees which are due and thinks don't look so rosey any more.

You think beating suspects in police custody to a point of near blindness while tied to a chair with a bag over their head is acceptable police-conduct, do you?

[Eleanor]

The Ciprianos got a bashing and what's more they deserved it.

I am really sad to see you say that.

[Mr Gray]

The SC repeated the facts as they know it, they did NOT offer an opinion or speculate.

From what we have seen they have said the McCanns are still suspects
They have said the McCanns do not have the right to be considered innocent

It isn't over yet
Then there is still the ECHR
Where the McCanns have an excellent case after the debacle of the SC judgement
I've been doing some reading and if the McCanns won in Europe the Portuguese govt would be forced to reimburse them for any losses suffered
So they would have to pay the McCanns their compensation plus any other payments to GA

Have you forgotten the failure rate in cases from the UK ?

Things have moved on
You haven't
I said the McCanns would come out fighting
I was wondering why amaral was so quiet
We can see why now
