Madeleine McCann's parents lose libel case with the European Court of Human Rights

[The General]

The verdict is for none here to accept or reject, that decision lies entirely with the McCanns and they have announced their choice.

I've accepted it.

If you wish to be bitter over this verdict for the rest of your life feel free.
It will change nothing.

I think quite often you are the one who forgets that this is a discussion forum and I doubt anyone will experience a life changing moment as a result of voicing an opinion on it ~ least of all me.

I have a bottle of Lagavulin that I've been saving for the death of a despised celebrity, or plague to infect Putin's inner circle, stuff like that. I think I will rejoice in this decision and crack it open and toast those Magnificent Seven; the faceless legal soothsayers whose names I'm sure I could find out quite readily, but simply can't be arsed to. They know who they are, that's all that matters. I might go and buy a cravat from TK Maxx.

I have. Today I found out Sadie went to Gerry's house once. That shifted my entire mindset.

I have an inner glow of satisfaction that I shall be reinforcing later with a couple of Irish whiskies

Isn't that called stalking ? There are laws against that.

Gloating Portuguese cop says the McCanns 'are still suspects' in the disappearance of Madeleine hours after the family lose libel legal battle against his book

The McCanns reacted to their court defeat by admitting they were 'naturally disappointed' at the decision but insisting they had no regrets about pursuing their long and arduous legal battle.

They said it meant the focus was now 'rightly' on the search for Madeleine and her abductors.

Hours later, Amaral was on Portuguese radio, insisting: 'Today the court referred once again to an important question.

'The couple are suspects, were suspects and remain suspects. Nothing else happened to the contrary.'

The absolutely perfect example as to why the ECHR judges erred in their judgement.

Perhaps one of Amaral’s supporters could highlight the bit in the ECHR ruling which states that the McCanns are still suspects?  I’m guessing after today’s ruling Amaral will say whatever he likes, and as loudly as he likes no matter how factually incorrect he is, and will be loudly applauded by those who support him despite them knowing he is talking bollocks.

Ahhh, there's nothing like a couple of Jamieson's to augment the glow of success.
Chin chin.

Still, if the McCanns are suspects at least it means we can continually ask if they’ve been charged yet simply to wum.  I wonder who is investigating them and for how long?  Shouldn’t be much longer now….

You've got it. He's now essentially the Oracle of Portimao. Dr Snr Oracle Goncalo Armando Amaral.
You can throw a bit of Nostradamus in there too. He predicted this. He's been biding his time. David Gray wanted to know why he was keeping out of the limelight - this is why. He knew.

This can only get worse.

I have replied but it doesn't seem to have posted.

My reasoning was based on the veracity of amarals claims.
Have any you read the judgement.

We all know amarals thesis was based on junk....it's there in his book.
The ECHR decided that his valued judgement was based on facts.


They are wrong..we all know that j

No, they are right and you are wrong Davel. You were always wrong when you posted day after day that the McCanns would win the libel case and you were wrong when you claimed that the ECHR would rule in their favour.

Do us all a favour now Davel and accept you were 100% WRONG!

Fat chance. Davel is never wrong - even when he is

[jassi]

I can't hold it back any longer.
For those who thought McCann would win.
