So what now, post Supreme Court decisions?

[Robittybob1]

The Portuguese will dave.

Don't worry about that.

They are a worry whatever they do.

Have the McCanns paid the court costs
You don't know

We will find out, one way or the other.

[ferryman]

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

You mean, the conspiracy theorists would set-to to feverishly manufacture a theMcCannsdunaShannonMatthews plot?

If it bankrupts them it is bound to be in the papers.

Indeed.

Also, because bankruptcy can affect some types of employment.

I am not aware they were ever accused of anything, let alone murder.

One does not accuse an arguido in Portugal, any more than one accuses a person conducting an interview under caution in the UK.

Interview under caution

Every day Cartwright King’s expert solicitors and legal advisors represent clients in interviews under caution throughout the country. We can provide you with advice and assistance wherever you are based.

Most interviews under caution take place at short notice, after an initial arrest or a raid by the authorities. However, increasingly the police and other agencies are relying upon interviews arranged voluntarily. If you have been invited to such an interview, even though you may have been told that you will not be arrested, it is still vital that you obtain proper advice from us as the investigators still suspect that you have committed a criminal offence.

In lengthy and complex investigations you may be subject to more than one interview. It may be that you are then bailed to a future date to enable the police to make further enquiries. The results of which may form the basis of a further interview. If your investigation is serious and complex but you were represented by the duty solicitor in your initial interview, you may benefit from the assistance of one of our specialist solicitors as your case progresses.

What is an interview under caution?

A police interview under caution is an interview that is conducted in accordance with the Police and Criminal Evidence Act. The caution is administered at the start of the interview and must be given if you are being asked questions where it is suspected that you have committed an offence. The purpose of the caution is to warn you that although you have a right to remain silent, if you do so a jury may draw what is known as an “adverse inference” at any later trial.

Why have I been invited?

Increasingly, the police are turning to interviews by invitation rather than arresting individuals in order to interview them. They may do this because although they will have received a complaint that they wish to investigate, and they believe that you are involved, they do not have sufficient evidence to arrest you. Alternatively, it may be that they know that their investigation is likely to be lengthy and they wish to avoid the obligations placed upon them when dealing with individuals under arrest.

Other agencies, such as the DWP do not have powers of arrest and can therefore only interview you if you consent, although if you refuse to attend an interview voluntarily they may pass their investigation over to the police to pursue.

What will happen?

As you are not under arrest, you are free to leave and stop the interview at any time. However, in some circumstances, attempting to do so may lead to you being arrested. Unlike if you were under arrest you will not have your photograph and other forensic samples taken from you and you will not have to spend any time in police custody. The interview will however, be recorded and you are entitled to have a solicitor present.

How we can help?

Just like being under arrest, you are entitled to have a solicitor present during the course of the interview to ensure that the questioning is conducted fairly, and that your rights are upheld. Your solicitor will be provided with some pre-interview disclosure, which should help to establish why the police think that you are involved in any particular allegation. You will then have an opportunity to discuss this with your solicitor in confidence prior to the interview. They can provide you with advice as to whether it would be in your best interests to co-operate with the interview or not.

Why you should have a solicitor?

You should always have a solicitor present in an interview under caution. The solicitor is your representative and is there to safeguard your interests. He or she will discuss the case with you, analyse the disclosure given by the investigators and ask you about your potential responses. The interview procedure is perhaps the most important stage of any criminal investigation. It is at that crucial early stage, before the views of the investigator are fully formed, that you can influence the course of the investigation to your benefit. However, anything that you say could be used as evidence against you at trial.

It may be that you can provide an explanation that satisfies the investigator that no offence has been committed or you may be able to present facts that will later form the basis of your defence at trial. It may be that you choose to exercise your right to silence - you do not have to say anything in answer to any of the questions.

Making the right decision at this early stage is crucial to your case, and our expert legal advisers can advise you as to the right course of action for you.

I'm still expecting Goncalo Amaral to pay the McCanns legal bills out of the ill gotten gains.  His theory was wrong, he knows it now, he knows it has hurt the McCanns reputation, so he should bail them out rather than let the McCanns go bankrupt.

Let me be like Davel and make a prediction.  I predict Goncalo Amaral will pay the McCanns legal bills out of the ill gotten gains.  His theory was wrong, he knows it now, he knows it has hurt the McCanns reputation, so he will bail them out rather than let the McCanns go bankrupt.

The Mccann's and no one else are responsible for the mess they are in.

It was never Amaral.

As to his basic theory, that remains on the table.

I think Amaral is unprincipled to a core, will grab what he can get and will cause the maximum pain he can get away with.
