This case is no longer about Madeleine, if in fact it ever really was.
Now hopefully the performance is drawing to an end. The final acts of the farce are unwinding in front of our eyes.
In five short months Team McCann has gone from a continued, intense attack against Goncalo Amaral, hounding him through one court after another for damages for his "libel". Needless to say, this trial has been hotly antipated by Madeleine supporters who are desperate for someone to start speaking while under oath, anyone will do.
It almost beggars belief that the parents of a missing child would sue the lead detective for $1.5 million...as if it will bring their daughter back...but this seems to escape both the British public and the media combined.
THE parents of Madeleine McCann are hoping to win a £1million libel payout this month from a former cop who claims they lied about their daughters disappearance...Their lawyer, Isabel Duarte, told The Sun: We reasonably expect compensation for the dreadful damages this book has brought the family.
The case is due to start in Lisbon on the 13th.

This was still the line up until mere days ago. All of a sudden, after literally years of threats, slander, personal and legal attacks upon Amaral, Team McCann approach Amaral's lawyers with the offer of a settlement.

That's right. At the very last second, the complainants wish to settle and come to an out -of -court agreement (which no doubt will have gag orders as part of the deal).
The same complainants who have been hunting Amaral through various courts for four years.
Why this sudden backflip, which occurred almost literally on the eve of the libel trial commencing?
Is the arrival of Scotland Yard officers in Portugal on 24 Jan 2013 coincidental to this sudden desire for conciliation? Is this an indication that we are beginning to see the facade crumble?
Are the McCanns suddenly feeling very nervous indeed?
We can only hope.
