Madeleine McCann: More Evidence, Tony Parsons Knows And Claims
MADDIE WATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann
DAILY MAIL: “McCanns win right to see key evidence about Madeleine’s disappearance held by police”
The parents of Madeleine McCann today won the right to see key documents held by police relating to her disappearance.
Won?
The McCanns had planned to take Leicestershire Police to the High Court but no case was heard as the force agreed to give them access to 81 pieces of information gathered as part of the investigation.
Progress? Elsewhere, in the same online article:
The couple, who are both 40, are not expected to attend today’s hearing in London before Mrs Justice Hogg…The hearing is scheduled to take place in the High Court’s family division, although it will be held in open court.
Such is the news.
DAILY MIRROR: “Portuguese police to rule out Madeleine McCann abduction theory”
Portuguese police have decided that Madeleine McCann could not have been abducted, it was claimed yesterday.
Claimed.
They believe the youngster died in her family’s rented holiday flat in Praia da Luz.
Believe.
The newspaper Correio da Manha said a 50-page report, handed to prosecutors last week, reveals “new and strong doubts” about Gerry and Kate McCanns’ claim that their daughter was snatched.
So says a report about a report in a Portuguese newspaper.
TONY PARSONS: A case of cruelty
It happens less and less these days, simply because the story of Madeleine McCann is slipping from the news.
But every time that little girl’s face appears on the TV screen, our five-year-old daughter looks up and says exactly the same five words: “Did they find Madeleine yet?”
That little girl, the one who disappeared.
Somebody knows something. Almost certainly more than one person knows something. It’s not enough to shrug and walk away.
The Mirror’s Lori Campbell didn’t shrug.

No.
Jo is doing her best to get Anorak in deep shit.
Nobody objects to reasoned discussion of a Judgement; that is what justice is all about.
Personal abuse directed at a Judge is a completely different matter…

Why the debate on the good Judge’s intentions…
‘I ponder about that person - whether that person has a heart and might understand what it must be like for Madeleine to have been taken and secreted from her parents and siblings and those she loved and felt secure with.” (From BBC)
“taken and secreted from her parents ”
Seems quite clear to me

BabyJane are sliding windows native to America?

Bette Davis that’s all sounding very Mills and Boon - will it steam up soon?
July 7th, 2008 at 10:13 pm
Serious question now: Do Portuguese houses have sliding windows? Windows, where only one of the two parts part can be moved to the side (from right to left) and the other glass remains always in its position?
Like US-windows, but not to be opend upwards, but to the side?
July 7th, 2008 at 10:12 pm
Hiya Bounty - how are you doing?

How can you stay so blooming reasonable???
I think that team mcc are busy copying 81 solictitors letters right now
Clarrie said that these callers did not give any information to team McC didn’t he (thats why noone bothered to keep a note of them - or some such ..)
Now can Team McC sue these people for not abiding by the Court Order to give them any information they request (as confirmed by Justice Hogg today) or is that a criminal offence?
———————————————-
It raises interesting points of law. In theory the McCanns’ lawyers can throw the book at any of the people involved in the 81 items of information should they refuse to tell them all about it; it could be 81 people with one piece of information each, or 4 people who said lots of things.
In practice, given the history of the order, I doubt that the Family Court would obligingly lock up a recalcitrant individual, not least because s/he may have forgotten all about it in the intervening 14 months, or been released from the asylum, or whatever.
The problem with wielding Draconian powers is that it reminds people, like legislators, that those Draconian powers still exist. It gets even worse when it transpires that the person wielding the Draconian powers is doing so improperly.
All in all, this is not the Family Division’s finest hour, and I doubt that anyone there wants to do anything other than bury it as soon as possible…
