Me! I sent the link for the English translation of the book!

All GAs lawyer has to do is bring up the most reliable sighting to date - the Belgian one. The Police thought it was so credible that they even did DNA tests on a milk shake glass. But were the McScum in Belgium? No, they were not, they were heading in the opposite direction to do a televsion show!

She says that the McCanns were always totally prepared to come back to Portugal to take part in a reconstruction of the disappearance.

........

With the help of Mr Prior who told them that if anyone of the Tapas seven did not want to go then it would not take place...crafty.

She says that the McCanns were always totally prepared to come back to Portugal to take part in a reconstruction of the disappearance.

Perhaps she should read the emails between "call me stu" and the Tapas 7 !, jesus christ, she's supposed to be defending the McCann's not handing the defense lawyer ammunition !

Why are they all getting so wrapped up in these text messages? Do they know Amaral found something on there to incriminate them or something?

That must be why the McCanns will only testify AFTER Amaral.

Hopefully the lady Judge will have the balls to say, you'll give evidence when you're bloomin' well told to! Or Else!

# The text messages were never considered as part of the investigation because the judge did not allow it, the court hears. half a minute ago from web
# Who suggested the checking of the McCanns' text messages, Mr Menezes is asked. The police, he replies.

Well, why didn't they, then?

Next!

it's not too late for the reconstruction - hopefully they will have no choice now

This live feed, will we be able to get into it later just to copy the contents of it? I'm just thinking it would be useful to keep a copy of the transcript on here without all our comments lol! For future reference

im being honest here this all this boils down too if the mcanns had been decent parents none of this would be going on now selfish pair!!

Probably ask for an adjournment because they need some lunch. Then scarper off quick to the airport.

Tavares de Almeida, chief inspector of police at the time of Madeleine's disapperance, has taken the stand to give evidence.

We've seen that the McCanns lawyers tried to stop the police CD from being admitted in evidence...

but this is what is written on the Sky News site...

In early legal discussion, the female judge agreed to ask for details of the police investigation to be made available to the McCanns.

Surely some mistake?

He was involved in the case from the beginning, but taken off it in September 2007.

Mmmm, wonder why!

That ought to be interesting. Mc supporters must be nail biting
