re-opening case

I feel like I could kill that man.
He's biased, he's got a tunnel vision, he's a misogynist, he doesn't understand DNA, he doesn't listen to experts, he's failed, he's been sacked and now he's trying to get in again?

Think I'll need an anger management course now.

My opinion is that Amaral never expected that the McCann would want the case open, or that there would be anything already existing that could pressure on the prosecutors to open the case.

In effect he has been blindsided. He didnt see it coming. His declaration that he wanted the case open is in reply to the McCanns. IMO, he doesnt want it opened, not unless he can once again control what is investigated. Perhaps if it is re-opened, Scotland Yard can provide an 'assistant'.

My opinion is that Amaral has been listening to too many fat headed idiots posting on internet forums and blogs, such as Joana Morais, and the comically stupid Missing Madeleine forum, who sport posters like the bubonic Photon and imbecilic Laffin. He has believed the drivel they churn out 24/7 (probably by rote) and he has not listened to what Kate and Gerry McCann has been saying and calling for. They have actually formerly requested the re-opening of the investigation through the British Ambassador in Portugal several times.

I like the way Amaral jumped in and said that anyway AFTER the McCanns and their lawyer made it clear they want this case re-opened, as if anyone in their right mind is going to allow that fat moron anywhere near a new investigation? he is NOT a policeman and he has already completely and purposefully wrecked the investigation once and now he wants a chance to do it all over again? What is he on? I think he should try and lay off of the booze for a while it is pickling his brain.
What has he got to hide? Of course he wants to be back near that investigation he wants to be able to mislead people away from the abductors again, just like he did the first time.

I'll help you Cath............

Catkins

You better go back to PFA and get your gun.



Oops, and not to put Cath out of her misery either.

Thank you Dianeh.
I hate it when people are playing games like he's been doing.
He's made it a personal vendetta, that's not what a professional should do.

Exactly, it's so unbecoming and ridiculous.

Royal my friend, agree with you.

As do I.

If he continues to pursue this he is going to undermine the validity of every investigation he ever worked on.

I thought he had already done that. I'm just wondering how many prisoners, and others are going to claim they were beaten up by him and his cohorts.

I'll believe them.

Very true, thought about that as I hit send.

Amaral now needs to face reality over the libel trial. This appeal of his against the injuction is a good indicator of how the libel trial is going to go.

Yes, this is where I have doubts about his attorney's skills.
Either Cabrita is a yes-man who believes in the cause over Amaral, or he's so dominated by his client he can't or wont' tell him the truth.

Personally, I think it is the latter, I think that Cabrita is totally intimidated and bullied by his client, he has probably tried to tell him that he is fighting a lost cause, but it falls on fat deaf ears. It is telling that Amaral has NOT chosen Cabrita to do his "legal training" with, he has chosen Joao Grade, Leonor's former lawyer! Not that I think for one minute this is ever going to happen, for a start I believe he will lose his appeal and his conviction will stand, so this will prevent him from training to be a lawyer. Incidentally, three things about that conviction and appeal, as we have seen with Leonor, appeals in Portugal are very rarely successful and once Amaral has lost this appeal, he will not be allowed further appeals, this will be it and his 18 month suspended prison sentence will start and as this is a suspended sentence, Amaral will have to watch what he is doing once the sentence kicks in, because he could be prosecuted under the terms of that suspended prison sentence, find himself in violation of it and go directly to prison.

I like the Blues Brothers.

FWIW I think GA's lawyer is doing his job and earning money.
It's his client who makes the decisions, as he's paying.
The client is too stupid to listen to anybody else as himself, we've seen that happening in the past. He thinks he knows it better as anybody else, even the experts.

Plenty like the Blues Brothers, but they realise that it is a film and do not go around dressing like them, however I am not surprised as Amaral is completely divorced from reality, so it is to be expected really.
As for Cabrita, he is useless but hey why should I care? Let's hope he retains his services for the duration.

Just had to look this one out for you Rosie.

Thanks Winter, I just love this one!

rosie just going to pop this reply from the statement thread
its my reply to you


could someone ask maria



that was my first thought ,has he had presure put on him ?
i do think he may have been up to something with malinka and the boats and maybe its been thrown back at him ?he said he wanted madeleine found .he said he wants to be left alone ,this is going to be bad for him and his family again .

its the timing that we hear about it and was amaral his witness,
just wondering im not sure because the law in portugal is so weird
if murat is suing tanner and the rest for whatever reason coul dthis stop madeleines case from being reopened ?because that would make sence as it could take murat years to get them in court
could that make the madeleines case be shelved for years ??
sounds like kate and gerry are now desperate to get it open .


would make sense

Don't understand your post. A case can be shelved up to twenty years, at the end of this period the case is closed for good.

That is the situation of Rui Pedro, who vanished when he was 11 years, there is one arguido, the case has been shelved twenty years ago and is about to be closed, in spite of several sightings during all these years. The only arguido will only now be cleared (he apparently was 'guilty' of having been the last person to se RuiPedro). Well, I hope, but I'm not sure, that he will be cleared, I mean.

And to your question about if a case against anyone in any way involved in the Madeleine's case by someone else also involved with the investigator as witness can interfere in Madeleine's case, the answer is 'no', they are totally separated cases. That is my understanding, anyway. Not a lawyer.

that odd ball on the left looks so much like gonc its scary!!



Is he seriously talking about getting back involved with this investigation??I hope and pray to god that they dont let him within a inch of those files or this investigation. He shouldn't of been allowed to investigate the case anyway given his track record!
