If he's released it will because he will have served his time and been cleared in the five cases, fortunately we're not locking people up for reasons apart from guilt.
Agree - that’s why I think these 5 cases will be locked in appeals & motions well into next year. It won’t be over in October.
Quite, one must always accept the verdict of the court - until overruled by a higher court.
Doesn't appear to be, did it even sit?
That’d’be how the legal system works. Hence why appeal processes exist. Up until the day a MM verdict appeal (defence or prosecution) comes, we’ll have many a motion & many a twist & turn. All that inevitable back-&-forth debate will come. People will hash out every thread of detail & it’ll always be polarising. I’m pro-victim, so my biggest concern from now until the end - is them not having all of the evidence in their cases heard.
I really don't think we are going to see to see an MM trial in a German court.
It’s interesting you say that because I was having this conversation (in the real world) yesterday with a colleague at work. I don’t have any understanding on the barriers between Germany, CB & the case being heard in England or Portugal. Nor do I know what limitations double jeopardy has outside of jurisdiction. I’m assuming the ECHR covers that. If CB gets a nailed on release date early next year, I expect we’ll get a lot more clarity answer on the MM case between then & now.

Actually we do. And so does the German Federation. It is known as Preventative Custody and is in place to protect the public from persons who are considered too dangerous to be freed.
Yup - this isn’t a Netflix or Amazon crime drama where the viewer can ‘pick a favourite’ character. This is a real world trial for the most heinous of crimes. It’s worth reading reports from anybody who attends the trial or has close ties to people who have information from trial, irrespective of whether there’s a gripe with the source or if there’s annoyance that the article is favourable to the victims or the McCanns. There are pieces in many reports that have added context.

So what similarities were there ?
Who knows but the article lists the differences, so more questions than answers.Another thing highlighted is that there is an international database that the Portuguese don't enter it's cases into.
“In both cases, they were entry-level rapists, "criminally very unusually competent perpetrators who proceed very purposefully, with a high level of organization." The perpetrators, according to Dern, had brought their rape equipment to the crime scenes. Both women were surprised by them, bound by weapons and raped several times.”
