I agree with you christabel.

Well done Marcos.

Well done Marcos.

Its my pleasure Pedro, honestly

An impressive list of witnesses.

Especially the wife and brother. I almost wish the trial would go ahead, as I would love to know why they have been called.

But I believe that the legal system (prosecutors) or the court will see sense and withdraw the charges.

Wow, great news. It's been a long wait but hopefully justice is at last kicking in. He should never have been allowed to bring that case and Leonor should never have been left in jail without a new trial.
It is just so sad that it has taken Madeleine's disappearance for things to start to change.

Yes, I would like to know as well. Wouldn't we all. But Gonc has made such a fool of Portugal's Justice System that I doubt that they can afford to allow this to continue.

And I agree, Jackf. God knows why that poor woman is still in prison. But something good is coming from Madeleine's Abduction, much as everyone would have preferred that it had never happened.

Thank you chris.

glad to hear from jackf, Sabot. I agree with jackf, Sabot.
