Goncalo Amaral interviewed after the Appeal Court decision.

[Alfie]

Whoever leaked the diary obviously had no morals whatsoever. 

[stephen25000]

The Mccann's lost any moral high ground when they placed details of their private lives in the press.

[G-Unit]

Why did the Portuguese Judge get involved?  Were the PJ planning to make these documents public and hence they needed the Judges's say so to do this?

If the PJ wanted to make them public and the Judge said "No", who is the most likely candidate to leak them?

The judge was asked to decide if the diaries should be entered into evidence. He eventually decided, around nine months later, that they should not. A month later they were with the Portuguese media. If the bits we haven't seen said what those newspapers reported they said the diaries certainly contained interesting information about the family dynamics. If they didn't, I'm amazed the McCanns took no action against the newpapers.

The McCanns did take action against the newspapers.  It was settled out of court.

Thanks G-unit.  "The judge was asked to decide if the diaries should be entered into evidence. He eventually decided, around nine months later, that they should not."

If they were not to be used as evidence what was the purpose that Goncalo brought Kate's diary up during the interview?

Not against Correio da Manha, who published a lot of information from Kate's diaries/notebooks. They objected to the News of the World publishing extracts which were far less controversial, however.

It seems that the papers would be able to print any lies they want in Portugal

If they printed lies why didn't the McCanns object? Perhaps they didn't print lies.

You cannot be serious.

Amaral has told lies on tv
It seems it's allowed in Portugal
He claimed he could prove Maddie died in the apartment
Which he cant

I think he means he could have done that if they let him stay in his job, but they demoted him fortunately to a desk job.

Fortunately?

[Eleanor]

Fourunately?

Very fortunately.  God knows what havoc he might have wreaked otherwise.

So you think it's fortunate that GA was prevented from proving M died in the apartment?
