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.

If that summing was by the judge then hasn’t she somewhat pre-judge things?
M and A
No not really, she isn’t pronouncing on any verdict,and Chenier says she didn’t say it anyway
July 7th, 2008 at 12:50 pm
thanks june
bbc news on the judges comments.
She urged anyone with information on the case to come forward: “There is, of course, one person who knows what has happened to Madeleine and where she may be found.
“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.
“Whether that person has a conscience or any feeling of guilt or remorse or even cares about the hurt that has been caused to an innocent little girl, and whether that person has a faith or belief and what explanation or justification they might give to God.
“I entreat that person, whoever they may be, to show mercy and compassion and come forward now and tell us where Madeleine is to be found. I hope she will be found soon, alive and well.”
Interesting well phrased imo (i think i like this judge)

M&A I never said, for the record, that she was pronouncing on a verdict.
M and A
I am aware of that, just making everyone else aware that what an English judge says in an English court is not a Judgement in a Portuguese one, even though so far there has been no trial.
(The pro McC’s may feel that Justice Hogg was in fact pronouncing on a verdict)

M&A, ah umm ok I think. Shouldn’t you make these points as separate points rather than appendages to other points? Not that it matters it still gets said. I am still relatively new tot his so don’t know the form.
Today is a bad day. Bottom fell off my car and of course the garage said it’s not their fault.
M and A
Arggh, trouble with cars /garages,hope things improve.
Sometimes when people raise a point, we follow up on their posts, and it was just about Justice Hogg and her jurisdiction and not you being in the wrong.
Sometimes on this subject (MM) by the time we have logged over to the thread the opportunity is missed, and its simpler all round to add on to a post.
It usually means the poster is NOT in the wrong, but developing the topic can help all of us.
we are usually fairly blunt here and bollox and even more Anglo saxon phrases are used, but if the post remains intact then things are ok.
