Was Gonçalo Amaral fair game given the content of his book?

[Mr Gray]

You don't seem to realize that the reason most posts are removed is because of your abusive comments which are result of you losing the argument.

As to Amaral, I await with interest the outcome of the trial.

It has been clear for several years that certain parties, namely the mccanns themselves and their devoted followers have pursued him, emotionally, personally, and of course the mccanns have financially.

All because he tried to do his job.

whatever

Tried being the operative word.  He was Tried in Court, at least twice, and now he's being Tried again.

and the net results of those trials, the book back on sale.

It's called 'freedom of speech'.

For some it seems only for the mccanns.   

[Estuarine]

If you believe in freedom of speech why do you complain when I call you a to**er?

Is that toller as in campanologist?

[slartibartfast]

you tell me why then

Standard Deviation is a measure of the spread of a  particular measure of a sample or population as is the Range

The Normal Distribution or Bell Curve is a particular random distribution.

Of course it may be that you didn't express what you meant very well.

[stephen25000]

The bottom line in this topic is very obvious and has been stated by many other people as well.

Amaral was a bit player who was coordinator of the investigation into Madeleine's disappearance for a short period.

He was removed from the investigation after criticizing UK police involvement, which was therefore clearly a political decision.

He then had the temerity to produce a book in which the theories were already in the public arena.

Meanwhile the mccanns in their pursuit of revenge and money, thought him to be an easy target.

[jassi]

A fair summation.

Agreed! which is why I have never understood why on this forum he is de Boogah Man. I always inclined to the view that his going to court over alleged libelous statements was not in the script.

Like I said, the mccanns and probably his advisers, including Carter-Ruck saw the dollar signs.

As to the mccanns and especially km, she was prepared to 'forgive an abductor'.

I suppose it is that certain people need an outlet for their 'fury'

[Mr Gray]

remember a quiz where the clue to the missing phrase was "ex campanologist"

[Mr Gray]

Back on track..you have the view that the mccanns are money grabbing...others have the view that they had no choice but to go to court to defend their reputation

[stephen25000]

What reputation ?

After leaving their children defenseless to wine and dine, night after night.

Now referred to in the urban dictionary  'as doing a mccann'.

[Eleanor]

Amaral was never going to stop.  He was raking it in and thoroughly enjoying what he was doing to that family.

His book may well be back on sale but I bet it isn't selling.

Who are you trying to kid.


Meanwhile from km, we had the 'mills and boon' work of fiction.

Plus of course the serialization in the 'sun'.
