They wanted this book suppressed becasue it is lies and by saying that Madeleine was dead ( without any evidence at all ) they thought it would jeopardize the search for her.
That the investigation would stop looking for a dead child.
But police men on a case should not from any point of veiw be able to write a totally FICTIONAL TALE accusing the parents of killing their child.
This is LIBEL.
IMO those who donated to the Mccann fund will not care how the money is used.
There isnt much left anyway.
I would not wish any more suffering on this pair.
However unappealing they come accross - and that is the crux of the matter.
Cleared of any involvement?
The Supreme Court says that they haven't been cleared of any involvement.
Totally fictional tale?
Their lawyer agreed that the police theory was the only one possible given the evidence.
Jeopardise the search for her?
The official search had already been abandoned and private searches cannot be considered in law.
This is libel?
Well if their own lawyer wasn't able to claim libel in court, hard to see where you get that idea from.
