Wonder if this bit is true or is the date being kept under wraps?

Oh dear what has smarty pant ID done now?
She has gone and confirmed what people suspected all along - that she, Aragao, and Pinto were in this together against Amaral. Wonder what is their motive and who instigated or persuaded them to take on Amaral.
They are making Amaral's legal team work easier. Now, there isnt any need for team Amaral to prove the coincidence of their connection is no coincidence but collusion of like-minded.

Wait till Pinto announces his willingness to stand as witness for Aragao, and the gang will be complete, to turn the Court into a Circus.
She's not doing herself any favour by representing questionable reputation and unpopular Aragao.
Must say something about her willingness to be associated with Aragao's case - birds of the same feathers and all come to mind.

Hee hee...Isabel Duarte's own goal. As if her defeat in the mccanns vs Amaral case isnt enough....now she's back for more!

Might it start with a "M" with a "C" in the middle? Or might it start with a "K" with a "N" in the centre? Pick one - its all the same in the end.

What's betting it wont be the skint and slimy questionable lawyer-client.

eta; judging by both postponement it seems ID needs more time to prepare or to persuade witnesses.
