Is the same judge I wonder.

Ridiculous that this is still ongoing. Can you imagine the weight on his shoulders.

Hopefully the verdict will go the right way in February.

Will the Mccanns be in Portugal too next week I wonder?

Final legal arguments next week,OG in town next week,final interviews? seem's a coincidence

Let's remember KMs own words: one coincidence, two coincidences, but three coincidences ...

It's beginning, to feel a bit like

I wonder if, Clarence will be Frantically phoning round Telling the Journalist's DO not be on it.

I wonder if the recent news that there would be no more questioning until next year was a deliberately planned tactic to ensure that the McCanns bewked childcare and bewked flights with the intention of being in court.

Once the police had confirmation that the McCanns were definitely going to be there, they suddenly found that they did have time for some interviews after all and, since Kate and Gerry would be in the vicinity, it would be rude not to invite them to the station for tea and biscuits

(We can hope )

May I say you make some very astute observations Poe.

This from Joana

So Goncalo Amaral was in court today but Isobel Duarte was not....


Denise Thomson ‏@Syn0nymph 59 secs60 seconds ago
@AdirenM Anne Guedes was there. Duarte was not in cort but Amaral was. Anne will have her report out as soon as she can I'm sure #mccann

Is this correct below?  Anyone know.


Jon Tait ‏@jontait42 46 secs47 seconds ago

With thanks to Johanna and her blog, a google translation of the trial today.

Could be me, but I don't think that looks good for the McCanns.

And from Astro on Pamalam.

Excellent report from Astro.

So we could be going into March then.

From my reading of that Amaral has a very good lawyer.Not sure the suggestion of a British conspiracy will work if thats what he is alluding to here.

"SY appears, coincidentally, whenever there is a trial session in Lisbon"

Certainly not pulling his punches there.

And it surely couldnt look good with half the mccann team missing !

"He also attacked the Smiths' credibility and questioned why they were seen as credible by the investigation while Jane Tanner was discredited. He said that Tanner's sighting corroborated the Smiths' sighting, but the coordinator, Amaral, and his team simply wouldn't investigate anything except the death thesis and the McCanns. "

Snip from the description of the speech of Ricardo, lawyer for the McCann children.

In black and white, folks. The McCanns' lawyer attacked the Smiths' credibility and bemoaned the passing of Tannerman.

Perhaps this will finally put to bed the assertions from some quarters that the McCanns promoted the Smith sighting. Their lawyer tells us they didn't like it one little bit.

Which confirms the majority view on Smithman  - he's very important indeed.

Don't think much to the efforts of Ricardo. Fell into GM's habit of commenting on the evidence and the rights and wrongs of the investigation.  And, like the stuttering Gerry, was interrupted and cut short by the judge. What don't they get?

I saw a picture of the Lawyers office in a very, very, very expensive part of Lisbon. I shouldn't think he'd come cheap. I wonder who's paying!

And what about this little gem from Fatima Esteves, lawyer for Guerra e Paz:

" - copies of the fund's accounts were requested by the defence but refused by the couple"
