Let's have the cite you seem to think exists.

You've had the cites.

You may not have understood the cites, but that's different ...

[mercury]

Could you just provide a cite for where the McCanns have made an appeal for money to fund their legal fees for the action against Amaral?  Thanks.

They didnt have to, they could spend all ther donations and libel payments and book revenues as they wished

[Alice Purjorick]

what has he lost as yet...access to his own money......his own countries court has supported the mccannns...fact...
if you don't think he's devastated you are a banana

His funds were sequestered before this trial started.
His country's own courts have yet to finish ruling.
I am a banana?
You would appear not to be as well educated as you would have us all believe if your vocabulary is such that you can only find puerile comments to make.

[Jean-Pierre]

Oh dear.  It seems it a case of 'and some fell on stony ground' in your case, Alice.

The banana reference related to one Hislop I.

They had the  luxury of saying if they wanted to kit was from libel payments not donations.not that it was proved

They accepted donations to fund searching and spent some of that money on obtaining an injunction against the book because they said the book was harming the search.

the banana reference was made by Ian Hislop...educated at Oxford...if he's not well educated then I'm a banana

[mercury]

I hope Mr Amaral wins his appeal

No he's a very well educated TV personality but as he has never been on coronation st it seems neither you or any of the sceptic community have heard of him

As you can find nothing sensible to say I presume you agree with rest of the post as well?
Like Amaral's country's courts remain in deliberation among other things.

we don't know...we know he has appealed...but against the sentence or the judgement. The wording judgement shows to me he has little grounds for appeal...but it seems appeal is automatic even if there is little or no chance of success

Will we ever know if his appeal was unsuccessful I wonder...?
