A Leicestershire doctor whose daughter Madeleine, aged three, disappeared during a family holiday in Portugal in May 2007. Dr McCann, her husband Gerry and their holiday companions were the subject of multiple libels in national newspapers, for some of which they sued and received damages.
This is a very brief endorsement of Gerry McCann’s witness statement.
Questioned by Robert Jay QC and David Sherborne. This is a long session in which they shed additional light on most aspects of Gerry McCann’s statement. Some further elements are added, including a description of the family’s journey to the airport in Portugal, pursued by reporters. Gerry McCann opens by describing four main areas of concern: libel; privacy; contempt for judicial process and accountability. Jay addresses these at the end.
