McCann fury as new libel cop case begins.

[carlymichelle]

Are we back to the McCann's leaving the children again Stephen?   You use every thread to bring that up.

The fact is it happens and Madeleine is missing,  Amaral wrote a book saying she was dead,  there was no proof she was dead he shouldn't have said it.

lace get used to it if the mcanns had not left the children maddie would  be   safe now  the catalyst is and always will be the mcanns  started the  chains of events and   no one will ever  convince people otherwise

[Lace]

exactly and im sick of mcann supporters blaming everybody else but gerry and kate

Your way of thinking is that it's the parents fault and there should be no investigation because if the McCann's hadn't done what they did Madeleine wouldn't be missing,  so punish Madeleine for what the McCann's did.

So Kerry's mother should be punished because of Ben.

Madeleine is missing that is what counts now,   you just want to keep punishing the McCann's when the emphasis should be on finding Madeleine.   Punish Madeleine because of what the parents did that's your motto.

[John]

that certainly isn't true in the uk and no one really seems to understand libel law in Portugal. Certainly in the trial the mccanns made no attempt to prove amaral wrong yet they won the case

Have you looked up the legal definition of defamation recently Dave?    Are you still harbouring the illusion that the recent trial in Lisbon was a defamation case when the Judge speficially refused to consider such issues?

[Lace]

Amaral should have thought of Madeleine before he wrote his book,  all he thought about was making money for himself.

emotional blackmail doesnt  work with me lace we  are not emotionally supressed in australia  we  say what we  feel  using maddie  as emotional blackmail is sick  imo she  was  3  gerry and  kate were the  adults

john is it tru  that many uk people  DO not  approve of what the mcanns  did and only  feel sorry   for maddie?  here most   would never leave   3  kids under  4 alone ever it just isnt  done

Being sorry for Madeleine and wondering what befell her is about the only thing that both groups have in common.  Beyond that sympathy is evenly split between the parents and Gonçalo.

[Alice Purjorick]

so why are  the mcanns and  co so agitated?

They have an urgent need for 360 grand?.

I am not using emotional blackmail,  you keep saying this wouldn't have happened if the McCann's hadn't left Madeleine alone,  as if we are supposed to think,   oh well that's ok then the parents fault, lets not bother with an investigation,  lets not bother about Amaral writing a book and saying she is dead,  it's the parents fault so lets just think that Madeleine is dead and not bother.

The McCann's did leave Madeleine alone,  but they fought Amaral because he said she was dead and if people think she is dead they wouldn't look out for her.

I think it's emotional blackmail to keep repeating 'the McCann's left the children'  hoping it might change peoples mind about them and the search for Madeleine.

Ben was left alone he wandered away,  do you think that if someone wrote a book saying Kerry must have done something to Ben that he wasn't worth bothering about because he was left to wander?

[Lace]

They have an urgent need for 360 grand?.

It would go into the fund for Madeleine not into their pockets as it would do if Amaral was awarded it.

[Lace]

john is it tru  that many uk people  DO not  approve of what the mcanns  did and only  feel sorry   for maddie?  here

Yes,  most do not approve with what they did carly,  but they were interviewed by Social Services when back in Britain.

I think most disapproved with what they did,  but now see two desperate parents searching for the child they love and miss.

I find it sick that a Police Officer used a missing child to line his pockets.

[Alice Purjorick]

It would go into the fund for Madeleine not into their pockets as it would do if Amaral was awarded it.

On that basis "The Fund" will be the plaintiff in the case. That is not what it says in the writ.

Many people find it sick what the mccanns did.

So has all the money the mccanns received gone into the fund ?

and I mean ALL THE MONEY.
