Do the sceptics simply misunderstand the evidence

[Mr Gray]

Allegedly but no one knows for certain, nor what grounds they would make the appeal.
It's one of these wait and see things.

I would say the statement in the accounts shows the case is being taken to the, ECHR

[Mr Gray]

Of which the truth is a defends.

The mccanns have clearly been libelled in Portugal... Previous ECHR. case law, supports it

[Vertigo Swirl]

Of which the truth is a defends.

the truth is there is no proof regarding what the dogs alerted to, and that's just one tiny part of it.

It didn't say it had been accepted though.

[Mr Gray]

I've done some research... Have you... And there are no grounds to reject it

IYO

IYO

Then let's have your opinion.... On what grounds will it not be accepted...do you have any opinion at all

My opinion counts for nothing along with yours,we have a knowledge that the McCanns have supposedly applied to the ECHR,its not known what they are contesting or even if its been accepted,end of.

IMO I think the McCanns are fully aware that their case will not get much further than their application  but what else could they do?

[Brietta]

Do you accept therefore that the judgement against Amaral was wrong then?

There is more than one judgement against Amaral on the books I believe ... to which one is it you refer?

[Wonderfulspam]

Even if the McCanns are successful at the ECHR,  the good book will have received yet more publicity from the process.
Supposing the good book is somehow banned again, that will just make more people want to read it to see what the problem is. They won't be able to remove all trace of it, it will still be available to read somewhere on the interweb.

The McCann's main issue is that they don't want their remaining children to read it. Eventually, I believe they will.

Something of a lose, lose situation for the Doctors McCann.

The one I posted a link to previously.post no 1127 if memory serves.

Did the book surge to the top of the bestsellers list when the court found in favour of Amaral?  Did it get published here as was suggested in some quarters?  By now IMO it's not a question of how far and wide it is read, what is important for the McCanns IMO is that it is legally acknowledged to be defamatory and based on nothing more than half-truths and fictions.   Then people can read it forearmed with that knowledge.   And also, that the author of this defamatory tale never profits from it, would be a strong motivating factor IMO.

I doubt they would care if their children read the book...... The twins would recognise it for the rubbish it is... Imo

You don't seem to have any knowledge or opinion... It's clear from the recent accounts they have taken the case to the ECHR IMO
