As with everything and anything there is a process to be gone through. A beginning a middle and an end. If there remains justice in Portugal, the McCanns may well find it unnecessary to progress to the end stage which is the European Court.
They have the legal right to appeal the judgement made against them. That displays pragmatism ~ hardly arrogance. What is rather obscure is your reasoning by which you would deny them their rights in law.
The 'nugget' you proclaim (in your opinion a golden one perhaps) is nought but an old chestnut. I am afraid the eagerness to halt the search for Madeleine McCann has been palpable ~ in my opinion ~ over the years since her disappearance. The sentiment has featured amongst sceptic posts from twitter - to facebook - to youtube - to blog - to newspaper replies under articles and back again.
Although just one amongst many I find it the most unedifying aspect displayed by sceptics and in common with all else had its genesis with Amaral and his 'fraudulent fund'.
1.To what end?
2.That is questionable. Do you have evidence that the Portuguese system allows appeal against the judgement of the highest court in their land? Please share, it will make interesting reading providing an opportunity for the unedified sceptics to be better informed.
3. Again do you have evidence that the fund for Sr Amarals legal fees is in fact fraudulent. Or is your usage of speechy marky pieces significant?
Seems to me like the usual huffing and puffing without about three lin.m of cut and paste.
