So seriously -Why was the Trial cancelled today?

[LagosBen]

The cynical side of me thinks deliberate.

The kinder side of me  hopes that the child isn't seriously ill, but wonders if it true that it was a non emergency op?

If so then surely the Lawyer should have been aware that it was booked for today.

Just what is going on? Anyone actually know the truth?

The lawyer knew yesterday

A grown-up son, I gather ...

EH? So how much notice do you have for Operations over there?

[LagosBen]

A grown-up son, I gather ...

No! Please tell me you are kidding ferryman ?

[Mr Gray]

A grown up son..how old?

I didn't think amaral would show up for this trial and was surprised when he did...perhaps we will hear next his lawyer can no longer represent him and the trial will be delayed

[Mr Gray]

perhaps Anne can tell us how old he is

[LagosBen]

perhaps Anne can tell us how old he is

Yes Anne seems "close", so perhaps she will tell us the truth.

[LagosBen]

Oh Anne seems to have gone  >@@(*&)

[Mr Gray]

well anne posted....
The child isn't ill, surgery had to be performed urgently and he needed his dad. Posters should have understood by now that Portuguese don't let down their children.

So she is referring to his son as a child...but remember Portuguese don't let down their children....so what have we been told about the ciprianos

[AnneGuedes]

I don't know. How could I ask the boy's age ? I guess the emergency was indicated on the document that the Judge examined. This Judge is very fair. All I seem to know is that it was a surgery of the hand. Had he fingers cut ?
I was sorry for Mrs Cameron. Luckily she wasn't alone.

[Mr Gray]

I think the deafening silence tells us that the child is a man...shall we have a guess at 35...it seems that Portuguese men want their daddy when they are in hospital

Not ill but needed surgery ? I'm confused.com Is it a child or an adult ?

Surely if the Lawyer didn't know the op was today it must have been emergency surgery so therefore the poor child must be ill. Poor lamb.

As for AG she always has to have her little dig.

Mr McCann was informed that the hearing had been adjourned because one of the lawyers’ grown up children was unwell

The former police officer’s lawyer, Vitor Santos de Oliveira, applied to halt the hearing on Thursday night, telling the court his son was in hospital.
He said: “My son is having an operation. I hope that because of this you won’t be making a hullabaloo saying that Gonçalo Amaral is holding things up.”
Isabel Duarte, the lawyer who is representing the McCann family said: “It’s not surreal, it’s Portugal.”
“I saw the request to adjourn this morning. The facts are that we have organised the trial and the lawyer was actually here, so I was expecting the trial today. I asked the judge to at least hear my witness.”

So WTF, wasn't everyone told, before the hearing today!

I think you have answered the question...what a disgrace.. Gerry McCann,  a british doctor will have had to cancel patients today .
