So what now, post Supreme Court decisions?

The Supreme-Court judges may, yet, wake up to the fact that they have made a calamitous mistake.

Really? And how do you see that happening?

Really? And how do you see that happening?

If Operation Grange solve the crime and (particularly) if they were to find Madeleine alive.

Nope.

The Supreme Court made the  correct decision.

[ferryman]

Nope.

The Supreme Court made the  correct decision.

How do we define "correct", though?

It is established (the PJ final report says so) that, at the time of the Smith sighting, and also the time of Kate's alert, Gerry was at the Tapas Restaurant.

Inspector Carlos also confirms that the McCanns leant full cooperation to the PJ efforts to try to find Madeleine.

Amaral didn't even understand the work of Mark Harrison, let alone the forensic results.

How much more needs to be clarified to establish that the Supreme Court got it (badly) wrong; the first-instance judge, exactly right?

That wouldn't change anything. It would still mean the archiving despatch did not clear the McCanns.

The Mccanns did not fully cooperate.

Need I remind you what was said at the end of the 48 questions.

The denigrating terms applied to members of the P.J.

IMO the book was about the investigation not what happened to Maddie.

Amaral's book, do you mean?

If so, there are so many fundamental aspects of the investigation Amaral simply got wrong.

Actually, the accidental death scenario has not been disproved.

It isn't a scenario.

It is blind guess-work with nothing to support it.

Did Amaral ever find that fridge he claimed to be on the brink of finding just at the point he was removed from the investigation?

Incorrect ferryman.

Your denials are past ridiculousness.

[Robittybob1]

I would like Amaral to admit he was wrong, that his theory was wrong.

[Alice Purjorick]

Typical Alice thread disruption to start willy waving again.  "My scientific knowledge is greater than thou's scientific knowledge" - childish in the extreme.

Sure it's childish but amusing nonetheless.

If Operation Grange solve the crime and (particularly) if they were to find Madeleine alive.

That would make no difference whatsoever. You seem to think the case rested on whether Amaral's opinion was right. It wasn't. The case was about whether he could express his opinion or not.
