McCanns "not in the clear" - removal of their "formal suspect" status does not mean they are innocent, judges say

I think everyone is stunned into silence    It was a shock to see that lot this morning though.   So what next I wonder?

Red faces from Lorraine Kel and that presenter of Desert Island Discs/ Crimewatch would be nice

This is good stuff.. I thought people were being optimistic to say this would be in the tabloids but no - it's finally happening. Back in 2007 they were printing
similar stuff and now 10 years later things have finally come full circle.... justice is hopefully prevailing

What next...? Try this one on for size.....

Polícia Judiciária issue European Arrest Warrants to the McCanns and their Tapas friends.


Tomorrows news maybe?

This is on SKY. Just can't believe it-- OMG. I read here every day.

A very good slideshow there, Birdy. Excellent in fact.

You say from SKY.....?

(ETA - there were a couple of pictures on there that I've never seen before)

I can't see anything on the SKY news site at all Birdy?

The McCanns are lambasted by the newspapers accused of everything bar killing M. Their characters are destroyed and then OG publish a Ben Needham style statement saying they know what happened(tragic accident etc!)but have insufficient evidence to prosecute.....McCanns exit stage left for island in med close to PdL or perhaps that would be too close and they may go to the land of plenty down under. Everyone in Uk left bemused!
Anyone else agree to my little scenario??

Nope. You're forgetting about the super (inaudible) that, if it means super-injunction,  severely constrains what the press can say and are assuming that OG are actively  pursuing the truth, for which there is no evidence whatsoever

What ive suggested doesnt reveal any truth....they say it was accident but have insufficent evidence!

Just WOW!!

It's from a gossipy showbiz site called Wizzed.

I am having trouble accessing it.

It's good to see that folk from the other side of the world are hearing about it:

http://www.nzherald.co.nz/world/news/article.cfm?c_id=2&objectid=11797718

For me, the worst case scenario (best case scenario for the McCanns) is that there is insufficient evidence to bring charges although it strikes me as unlikely given that the timescale for the investigation has been extended and extra funding provided.

As for the McCanns emigrating, where could they possibly go? Their dream destination would have been New Zealand but they used that poor girl for fake sightings and, as I was typing this, Andrew provided a link to a NZ newspaper. The McCanns made sure Madeleine's name and face are known worldwide. They might end up free from prosecution but they won't ever escape the fear of being recognised.

If written off as a tragic accident that the Mc's knew about there  are several more crimes then in the frame. Prevent lawful burial, possibly conspiracy to pervert the course of justice,ones related to obstruction of the coroner etc .Then there's the fund ,people who gave hard earned cash to search for Maddie aren't going to sit back and take it calmly if it's proven that the Mc's knew she was or was likely dead

Wizzed is an internet based entertainment site started by 17 year old Aaron Rice from Cheshire. He started out by creating sites for cheat and hints on gaming sites.
The whole slideshow has an air of familiarity about it, in style and content. Has someone found an outlet I wonder?
I like the presentation. The photos and short paragraphs keep the attention far better than a long diatribe would. The interactive nature will appeal to a younger audience too.

UK media rounds on Supreme Court ‘shock’ that McCanns “have not been proved innocent”

UK tabloids - which for so long have been so ‘anti-Portuguese’ in their reporting of the Madeleine McCann mystery - are changing their tune following publication of the Supreme Court judgement which stressed that parents Kate and Gerry McCann have not been proved innocent in the context of their daughter’s disappearance (click here).

Media sources in touch with the Resident warn: “The tide is turning in UK. Did you know that Panorama was in Luz last week? Tell your readers to batten down, they’re all coming”.

The Sun, the Mirror, the Daily Mail began the day leading with hurtful headlines.

Curiously, the Daily Mail’s “Portuguese court says Madeleine McCann’s parents HAVEN’T been cleared” (with large capital letters for the word haven’t) was later changed to: “Fresh anguish for Madeleine McCann's parents as Portugal's supreme court insists they haven't been proved innocent over their daughter's death”.

But the thrust of the story is busily steaming its way through the English-speaking mainstream while the McCann couple themselves, and their representatives, must be considering a response with care.

Says the Mail: “A spokesperson for the McCann’s did not want to respond to request for comment last night”, while the Mirror - running with the story under “Kate and Gerry McCann ‘not formally in the clear’ over daughter Madeleine’s disappearance” says the Supreme Court ruling “means suspicion still hangs over the heads of the McCanns, who have always claimed their innocence”.

Another cloud highlighted by the ruling is the fact that there remain “serious concerns relating to the truth that Madeleine was kidnapped” (Daily Mail today, as well as Portuguese papers, quoting directly from the 76-page text).

For Praia da Luz - the holiday village perennially dragged into the spotlight over this almost decade-long mystery - the question on everyone’s minds is “if there is a media stampede back” could it spell a rush of welcome pre-season business, and would it disappear in time to let the popular sun-blessed village enjoy a trouble-free summer?

Very interesting

WOW !!! Things are changing rapidly, there WILL be justice for Maddie IMO.
I found the slideshow on Sky news. Went on Trending & it was down the bottom of page with other sponsored links for Sky. Hopefully it caught the attention of many readers. Now, alas it has been whooshed They must still have the Cruckers still hard at work.

Interesting it was on Sky. In one their newspaper reviews last week, one of the guests highlighted an article on the SC result and was immediately 'shushed' by the presenter. Also, Sonia Poulton tweeted this last month:

Sonia Poulton ‏@SoniaPoulton Jan 11

Off Twitter for now (contact: soniapoulton@sky.com) but on BBCRScot with Kaye Adams after 11am today #singleparent #myths Happy 2017 Y'all!

She hasn't tweeted since. She isn't directly involved in the case, but does know a lot about it - perhaps she was involved in the slide show?

The tide is definitely turning at last

Blimey,well I'll go to foot of my stairs,what the MSM have done is actually print stuff from a court ruling thus negating any injunctions, if there were any.
I think I can see how its been played out over the years, rightly so the MSM haven't been allowed to question the McCann version because this could lead to damages,but what can be done now is explore perhaps other theories or at least mention them because a court has decided that it is legally right to do so albeit from another country.

Just a thought,wonder if the Express lawyers and others are carefully studying the judgement to see if their stories at the time that they were sued for is closely tied to this judgement,they got their money back from one J Archer.

There's a thought.

Good point. I was surprised that we haven't heard from The Express yet.
