They actually won apparently. We are just too thick to see it allegedly.
I see your girls and guys are making a reasonable start in Hong Kong. It's a shame Anna "The Elbows" has retired

He agrees with the McCanns and their mates. My point was that others didn't; there was another, equally valid, point of view.

The thread is making me feel thick too.  I'm not following the line of the argument at all.
"They actually won apparently."  Who won?

I wonder if Mr Amarals lawyer  will contemplate taking on the UK tabloids just like Mrs Trump rather successfully done with the mail this week.

Amaral would find it difficult to counter the articles against him
He's a convicted criminal for starters

There have been sports matches lost where it was later obvious the referee got a vital decision wrong.  Same thing happened here.

What a poor comparison. A referee making a split second decision about something he may not have seen clearly cannot be compared to judges bringing their legal knowledge to bear with all the time in the world at their disposal.

Have the papers ever reported this?

For once once we agree.

The Supreme judges had much longer to ponder their decision than a referee in a football much does, and much more complete information to consider.

Yet they still got it wrong.

Amazing ....

That would be like going to the third umpire up stairs and even they get it wrong.  It has the appearance of considered decision but there is the appearance of political motive behind it IMO.  Was it that important that the Portuguese won the case.

The say-so of pretty much anyone who has read the files (at least objectively).
