GERRY McCANN came out fighting after sitting through two days of court hearings where he and his Liverpool-born wife Kate were accused of faking the abduction of their daughter Madeleine.

Mr McCann yesterday defended the couple’s decision to take legal action over a book and TV documentary by former Portuguese detective Goncalo Amaral. He insisted there was no evidence to support Mr Amaral’s claims that Madeleine died in her family’s Algarve holiday flat on the night she vanished in 2007.

Mr McCann said: “A thesis without evidence is meaningless .”

I find it strange that on the day maddie disappeared she had been heard crying for her mother not to leave her alone 'again' that night.
After the alleged abduction neither of the mccanns showed any 'real' emotion during the 'appeal' to find maddie.
neither of them have ever been charged with 'gross neglect' no decent parent would leave 3 children alone in a foreign country while going out 'drinking and eating'
There was 'no' evidence to support any abduction. Both parents allege they were checking on the children during their night out drinking.
They are doctors who have been trained to show 'no emotion' if a death occurs in a hospital.
Maybe they hampered the investigation and this is why the book was written.
I personally believe they had something to do with the abduction.

I bet you also believe the world trade centres were destroyed by the government ! Doctors "trained" to show no emotion PMSL what planet do you live on, One is a GP and the other is a cardiologist, I doubt either have had to tell anybody their loved one has died, which is what you are so patheticaly trying to describe by "trained to show 'no emotion" its called desensitisation.

Detective who claims Madeleine McCann died says 'I'll fight all the way'

Published Date: 15 January 2010
By Sam Marsden

PORTUGUESE former detective Goncalo Amaral has vowed to appeal to the European Court of Human Rights if he loses a legal battle over his book that claims Madeleine McCann is dead.
Yesterday Mr Amaral said his case was about "fundamental rights" for all Portuguese citizens.

Madeleine's parents, Kate and Gerry McCann, were left facing the prospect of years of court hearings at which Mr Amaral's allegations against them will be repeated. The couple, both 41, from Leicestershire, flew to Lisbon this week to hear Mr Amaral try to overturn their ban on his book, Maddie: The Truth Of The Lie.

The former policeman called a series of witnesses to support his claims that Madeleine died in her family's holiday flat and that her parents faked her abduction – something they strongly deny.

Mrs McCann said yesterday that sitting through the evidence was difficult but added that nothing could be as bad as losing Madeleine.

She insisted that the couple were right to take legal action against Mr Amaral and said she was confident they would win.

Arriving at Lisbon's main civil court for yesterday's hearing, Mrs McCann said: "Our daughter's been taken and nothing's ever going to be as bad as that. It's still been difficult. I know what's in the case files, I know what the conclusions are. So it's difficult to hear something that's incorrect and inaccurate."

Mr Amaral was the initial leader of the Portuguese police investigation into Madeleine's disappearance from Praia da Luz in the Algarve on 3 May, 2007, shortly before her fourth birthday.

I'LL FACE THESE SLURS IF IT HELPS MY LITTLE MADDY

Kate's court ordeal for her daughter

Kate McCann last night broke her silence after three days of hearing sickening slurs that she faked her child's abduction.

The mum-of-three insisted the court ordeal was worth it because "getting justice here will help our search for Madeleine".

Kate and husband Gerry, both 41, have been in Portugal while former detective Goncalo Amaral tries to overturn their ban on his book about the case. He says Madeleine, six, is dead and alleges her guilty parents staged her disappearance, in Praia da Luz in May 2007.

Yesterday Kate said: "Hearing it has not been easy but this action will benefit Madeleine, which is our aim. It's been positive because it's shown again there is no evidence that Madeleine came to any harm or that we are involved."

Amaral's appeal against the injunction banning him from repeating his claims was adjourned.

Outside the Lisbon court he vowed that if he lost he would take it to a European human rights court to defend "freedom of speech".

Last night the BBC stood by a claim Amaral had told their crew "f*** the McCanns". His lawyer had claimed he was mistranslated.

As Mrs McCann succinctly put it just hours before being named as a suspect: "The police don't want a murder in Portugal and all the publicity about them not having paedophile laws here, so they're blaming us."
