Have a look at the sky report on the video

Probably because it has only been postponed for 10 days, and not until September like they originally wanted.

'It brings us more pain and distress every time we come here'.
Well don't go there, then. Simples.

They're accusing the Judge of being cynical? It was HER decision to postpone.

Amaral lost his livelihood, had his assets frozen, lost his marriage and yet STILL won't back down, despite being offered out of court settlements. The McCann's really expect people to feel sorry for them?


They are unreal!!! That display outside the Court really showed their true colours. And you've only got to read the comments to see how utterly fed up Joe Public is getting with this fiasco......

More pain and distress at not getting their hands on loads of money than ever there has been over their missing daughter. Why don't they borrow a couple of shovels and join the searches. Keeping busy would take their minds of their worries - well it works for me when I'm gardening.

Not a lot of sympathy amongst the comments

Since when has 'statement' become 'evidence'

Weather is great here, no doubt the Mccanns will stay to stop the pain and top up their tans!

Ooh that's not good. As I understand it, if they were giving evidence they could be questioned on said evidence. Making a statement allows them to moan endlessly, without being questioned. No doubt there will be a front page clarification and apology forthcoming.

Any "statement" they may make now could well become "evidence" in a future trial! Just like Kate's book!

The McCanns should consider Mr Amarals point of view.

He has lost already a lot. If he loses the trial he has no money. And only because he wanted to tell the truth that he believed.

What do the McCanns expect?

As other posts have said, if they do not want the stress of going to Portugal and the trial then they can choose to stop the case.

So many times these two people do and say things that do not make sense, and seem to be about something that is not Madeleine (perhaps as many have said, the money).

If the McCanns want us to believe what they said about "that night", there would be no reason to to try to discredit Mr. Amaral so visiously IF THEY ARE TELLING THE TRUTH.

It's all about the 'agenda'. Remember gerry with his diagram-chart.......sheesh, i'd be under a bus I think!

At ten in the evening of Friday the Santos de Oliveira lawyer received an SMS from Gonçalo Amaral to dispense with their services. The lawyer representing the former PJ inspector in civil proceedings brought by the McCanns - where Maddie's parents ask for a compensation of EUR 1.2 million for defamation - ensures that he was not given any grounds for expulsion: "No know why I was fired. "

The exemption was made on the eve of the last session of the trial, which causes even more strangeness to the lawyer: "We were a good procedure because it could demonstrate that the McCann couple had no power to represent the child in the process and now that we were going to talk confront them with it. "
Gonçalo Amaral delivered yesterday morning, the Court of 1st Civil Court of Lisbon, a repeal of the attorney of his lawyer. The session, during which the McCanns would speak and his lawyer, Isabel Duarte, would utter the closing arguments, the judge served only to Emilia Melo e Castro set new times - 8 and July 10.

"I am convinced that it is another delaying tactic to tire my clients," he told Express Isabel Duarte. "For the first time in 35 years of practice I saw a lawyer with a revoked asking the judge to make an application on behalf of the former client proxy. Judge and authorized lawyer asked that the session be postponed, which actually came to pass."

The attorney Oliveira Santos, now dismissed, denied the accusation: "dilatory maneuvers That's not me I walk for too many years in law to let me engage in such a thing?.."

This was the fourth time that the trial was postponed. And the fourth time the McCanns had been moved to Portugal to be heard. "I expect that come next course session. Shall not be overcome by tiredness," assures Isabel Duarte.

The hearings of the trial were inoperative since October last year, so that the McCanns arrived in court according to Gonçalo Amaral. As there was an agreement in a case that has motivated the request for seizure of property to former Inspector of Judicial as a precautionary measure, was marked resumption of the sessions.

In this action, the McCanns considers rights, freedoms and guarantees of the family have been violated, and therefore calls for a compensation of EUR 1.2 million at the PJ inspector investigating Madeleine's disappearance, which occurred on May 3, 2007.

In the book "Maddie: The Truth of the Lie", Gonçalo Amaral, former coordinator of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Judicial Police of Portimão, advocates the involvement of Kate and Gerry McCann in their daughter's disappearance and concealment of a body. The couple came to be accused in the case, but the suspicions were filed. The criminal case was reopened however, and last week the English Police were in Portugal to make new searches.

Thanks Karen , a bit muddled to understand but Amaral dismissed his Lawyers at 10pm on FRIDAY, plenty of time for him to phone Duarte and the Judge out of courtesy . Duarte would have been able to contact the McCanns . I think he his lost the plot and done himself no favours .

Duarte held onto his books for months after a court ordered her to give them back. It was only the threat of a big fine and jail that made her finally hand them over. Dr Amaral owes that reptile no courtesy at all.

He's not the only one that has lost the plot.



I wait for Mr Amaral to state the reason and it definitely won't have anything to do with Spite.....we can leave that to the mccanns....

There are valid legal reasons for what happened yesterday which we are not party to. Mr Amaral didn't act on a whim. And you are totally right Iris, Amaral owes them nothing.

"The exemption was made on the eve of the last session of the trial, which causes even more strangeness to the lawyer"

So this would make it Sunday then.

Morning Kitti, whatever his reason , it could have been said at theTrial Yesterday , instead he sends a letter to the Judge , hand delivered at 9 am, too late for the Court to arrange a different case to be tried that day. Who would dismiss his Legal Team on the eve of the trial when he has had almost 6 months to employ a different team with plenty of time for them to prepare their Defence.

I think he played a blinder. Amaral owes nothing to the Mccanns, and I hope in 10 days time, he can find something to delay it again! The Mccanns have had it their way from the begining, and it only now after 7 long years that public opinion is turning against them!

As Kitti says, why don't we just wait and see what his reasons were. I think that playing silly childish games just to get back at the McCanns would be the last thing on his mind right now. None of his actions are driven by hate, or to get revenge, unlike some.

It seems everything the McCanns do is to suit themselves. From leaving their children to go out for the evening till yesterday. Why does anybody owe them any favours. They do no favouirs for anybody not even themselves going by yesterday's performance. Money money money. In tears because they haven't got their hands on yet more money.
