Press conference at London this Friday

My friends, according to Sky News, the couple are due to respond to the court´s ruling at a London press conference tomorrow.

I can't wait! I wonder, is there a way to see exactly what the judge said?

Vee

Apparently she confirmed everything Isabel said in her closing arguments. But I'll try to get the final report (it seems big, some 20+ pages) and translate it for you, if it doesn't come out already translated...

Basicaly it seems that she agreed that the prosecutor's final report was against the 'opinion' expressed in the book, the book did not reflect what's in the files, and so on within these lines.

20 pages? Blimy!

Vee... I love your signature.

It was a comment on, I think, loonyhavern's blog. It struck me that it fully encapsulates the intellectual level of the average anti-Madeleine, so I couldn't resist it!

I have another in mind to use over on PFA later!

Does anyone know what time the press conference is scheduled for ?

I keep saying this Maria, because it is true, you are such a little beauty and a shining star and what a credit to your country you are. Thank you for all your help and I look forward to reading the Judge's official verdict.

My friends, about the press conference in London this Friday, please, go to Sky News and look for this: "Madeleine´s parents set to speak on book ban", also read the full news about this conference. Watch the McCann´s news conference at 11.30 on Sky News and skynews.com

I've got the final 20 pages of the final report, missing the first 20, but I don't think that these are the elements of the injunction itself. So, I probably got the important stuff ... in Adobe

Yes, I'll try to translate them for you, but it will take time, as no only it is a bit long but also the language ... legalese as we call it around here.

McCanns: 'Please Don't Give Up On Madeleine'

Alison Chung, Sky News Online
Kate and Gerry McCann have welcomed a decision to uphold a ban on a book about their daughter and pleaded with police to continue searching for Madeleine.

The McCanns keep up their appeal for information on Madeleine

Speaking about the ruling at a news conference in London, the couple said they were "pleased and relieved" at the Portuguese court ruling.
"The judge agreed there had been significant ongoing damage to the search for Madeleine and to our family, and we are grateful for that," Kate said.
They couple said they hoped the decision would bring a fresh impetus to the search for Madeleine, who has been missing for nearly three years.
A judge in Lisbon yesterday rejected an attempt by former senior detective Goncalo Amaral to overturn an injunction halting the sale and publication of his book, Maddie: The Truth Of The Lie.
The book, published in July 2008, alleges that Madeleine died in her family's holiday flat and that her parents faked her abduction - something they strongly deny.
The ex-policeman said he would appeal against the judgement and repeated his intention to fight the case all the way to the European Court of Human Rights.
Mr Amaral was the first head of the police investigation into Madeleine's disappearance from Praia da Luz in Portugal in May 2007, shortly before her fourth birthday.

Speaking about the Portuguese court ruling at a news conference in London, the couple said they were "pleased and relieved".
"The judge agreed that there had been significant ongoing damage to the search for Madeleine and to our family, and we are grateful for that," Kate said.
"The court has demonstrated once again that there is no evidence that Madeleine has come to any harm.
"It has also clearly shown that no police force is actively looking for her despite being with presented with new information and leads."
A judge in Lisbon rejected an attempt by former senior detective Goncalo Amaral to overturn an injunction halting the sale and publication of his book, Maddie: The Truth Of The Lie.
The book, published in July 2008, alleges that Madeleine died in her family's holiday flat and that her parents faked her abduction - something they strongly deny.
The couple slammed the "slanderous" motives of Mr Amaral for "trying to convince the world that Madeleine is dead".
They said they hoped the decision would bring a fresh impetus to the search for Madeleine, who has been missing for nearly three years.
Kate said: "Our primary focus has always been to find Madeleine by trying to achieve the most effective search possible."
She also implored police in Portugal and the public to "remain vigilant", saying: "Please do not give up on Mdaeleine".
Mr Amaral said he would appeal against the judgement and repeated his intention to fight the case all the way to the European Court of Human Rights.
The ex-policeman was the first head of the police investigation into Madeleine's disappearance from Praia da Luz in Portugal in May 2007, shortly before her fourth birthday.
