Gonçalo Amaral Legal Defence fund to be closed on 28 October 2015

[G-Unit]

I think the judge tried to steer her judgment clear of pronouncements that might provide Amaral with ripe grounds of appeal.

That's probably why she found it not proved that a book declaring Madeleine 'definitely dead' in some way harmed the search for Madeleine.

Quite self-evidently it did, and does ....

The judge found it not proved because it wasn't proved. As Amaral has appealed he must have had grounds. Whether or not the book harmed the search is a matter of opinion, not of fact.

The idea that a book "harmed the search " is just a flight of fancy at best

In the light of allegations on other sites as to the methods used to "encourage" donations, I now understand exactly why GA has never publicly acknowledged receiving any money from this fund.

But he has Misty, he wrote a thankyou letter, here is part of it
"15th of June ... The wave of solidarity that was generated to support me has been very moving and makes me feel extremely humble. I am so very grateful to each and every one of you, who have supported me and continue to do so; none of this would have been possible without you. ... Gonçalo de Sousa Amaral"

Let's compare like for like. Here is the full text of the thankyou letter from the man on your side, thanking the thousands of people whose support paid for lawyers who launched this case against Mr Amaral:
"

When it comes to an integrity comparision test Misty, there is no competition at all.

Does that "thank you" note specifically mention monetary donations made through GFM?

He is thanking the thousands of people who supported him so that he was able to compete with the hundreds of thousands of pounds spent on lawyers by his attackers' supporters Misty, so obviously that includes donators to PJGA via the brilliantly successful GFM appeal, which raised a thousand times more than your side's appeal in the same six months IMO, and that's a measure of the fact the GBP see straight through the PR guff that tried to destroy Mr Amaral.

Where is the thankyou letter from the person who started this libel case against Sr Amaral, addressed to all the thousands of kind donators who paid for the legal costs of launching it?

I'm on the side of justice, Pegasus. Justice for Madeleine & her family.
Actually, I don't blame GA for not publicly mentioning the GFM appeal. Disassociation is in his best interest.
Curiously, Queen Isabelle, one of his biggest supporters, has been suspended from Twitter sometime this evening.
Something is happening, imo.

Some people would never dare quote Churchill - because they know people would just laugh.

That's the very odd part in that note. Why does he quote Churchill? And the syntax is totally at odds with messages on his own F/B page.

I was hoping you'd post the thankyou letter from your side to the thousands of people who by donations kindly enabled this libel case against Mr Amaral to be launched Misty.

Kate McCann: You have all given me strength Liverpool Echo

 

By PADDY SHENNAN

JUL 27 2007

 

IN a heartfelt letter to the ECHO, the Liverpool-born mother of missing four-year-old Madeleine McCann has thanked the people of Merseyside for giving her the strength to carry on.

 

Kate McCann says: "I would like to say a huge 'thank you' to all the people in Liverpool and Merseyside who have supported Gerry and I, in different ways, over the past few months. Our family as a whole has gained a great deal of strength from such kindness and it has been particularly important to me that my mum and dad have experienced such solidarity and support.

 

"It is through such goodwill that we have been able to keep on going, even through our darkest moments."

 

Kate wrote her message yesterday, 12 weeks to the day after her daughter was abducted from the family's holiday apartment in Praia da Luz, in the Algarve.

 

In the letter, she adds: "We continue to hope and pray that our beautiful little Madeleine will be back with us soon and able to continue bringing such joy into many people's lives."

He quotes Churchill because he has a very high regard for the UK Misty.
Remember when you read his thankyou note to his supporters (who made his appeal in this libel case possible), it is translated from portuguese, so the exact syntax is a result of translation.
BTW for comparision have a look at the thankyou note written by the directors of MFNSLU Ltd to their supporters in gratitude for enabling this case against Sr Amaral to be launched. Anyone got a link?

Enough blood has been shed :)
We are off topic.
Back to the GFM appeal, the uncanny timing of its closure & revelations about people being encouraged to split their contribution into multiple smaller donations using different names.

why are sooo touchy ahout GAs fund, where nothihg had been proven questionable about it, its a mere 50k or so, but the MULTi million non transparent Mccann fund is ok? In your books?
