McCanns v Bennet

http://jillhavern.forumotion.net/t5738-mccanns-v-bennett-hearing-before-mr-justice-tugendhat-today-11-october-2012

Interesting quote from the judge..."Suppose it's established that the Claimants had lied about what happened?

Thank you Matthew

I really do admire Mr Tony Bennett ...he does have some guts. I wish him well.

That was an interesting comment from the judge. I wish you well Tony . I so admire what you do.

I'd like to wish him well too. Very brave of him to stand up to them.

McCanns 0, Bennett 1

I do hope that Judge Tugendhat continues to deal with the case - he does appear to be a breath of fresh air.

I also wish Tony Bennett all the best.

That is the most positive, refreshing statement I have read about this case in years

If everything goes well for Tony Bennett and it should do, the case will have a positive effect on Goncalo Amaral. Hopefully he will be following this case, if he isn't, I'm sure Joana Morais will keep him posted.

Equally important though, if everything goes well for Tony Bennett, it will have a very negative effect on Healy and McCann. I have a feeling if Bennetts case goes well, lots of worms will come crawing out of the woodwork.

True Mossman, Mr Justice Tugendhat, sounds as if he is a very fair minded Judge.

If I can bring a bit of humour into this thread, Mr Tugendhat, is not going to be Tugending his forelocks to the "Gruesome Twosome."

Tony Bennett faces PRISON at the Request of the McCanns!

GOOD LUCK TONY

GOOD LUCK TONY

Their popularity will go down even more if he goes to prison .



Not that they care, they have their 'friends' in high places.


Hope they realise that when the shit hits the fan those 'friends' will disappear.


They will wish they hadnt treated us 'commomers' with such contempt.


Still, money can buy friends...till it runs out.

Financially speaking, they can't win, TB simply hasn't enough assets or savings to cover the cost of the trial. There is plenty of evidence imo that the McCanns were functioning perfectly well, despite TB.

I'm asking the members here, what would you have done if your daughter had been taken by a paedophile? (although the type of abductor varies)
Would you care whether not everyone believed you?
Would you use money to pay lawyers to prosecute people who don't believe you? (Carter Ruck are working on a retainer which stands at around 150.000 pounds at the moment (rough estimate)). Add to that the cost of barristers - the trial itself and there is no way they are going to break even. So a loss then, money that could have been spent looking for their daughter.

Lawyers in the UK and Portugal have and are even as we speak, making money out of this sad case. (the books of Dr. Amaral).
Since in every interview the McCanns tell us they believe their daugher is alive and can be found, I would spend every penny I had to find her and damn anyone who thinks otherwise. I really wouldn't have time for them.

If it was my daughter, every penny and more
would be wholely directed towards the search
and discovery of her whereabouts. If I had to
endure suspicion or distain from people who
didn't believe or approve, I would treat that as
secondary, and a mere distraction and NOT a
primary concern to waste time or money on.
Deeds speak and words lie. That simple.

read an interesting snippet the other day on twitter

something along the lines of

If the McCanns are saying that Tony's dealings with the case ( ie leaflets, internet postings etc) have hindered the search for their daughter - did it hinder it as much as the McCanns not requesting the process to be reopened?

I've never thought of it like that

which one do you think hindered it more

In my view, the only Tony Bennett that the majority of the public will even have heard of is the one who left his heart in San Francisco, so it's absolute nonsense to claim that he could in any way have hindered the search.

"Suppose it's established that the Claimants had lied about what happened?"

Oh Judge Tugendhat, you win my undying respect just for that one line alone ...


Well, given the shape and form of this upcoming trial, if I were 'Claimants' I would give up now.
If there are going to be witness statements and expert evidence in front of a jury, then 'Claimants' should be having an urgent rethink right about now, if not sooner.
Nothing to stop the this event featuring in the press (except extreme cowardice on behalf of editors).
Certainly nothing to stop it going hyper-large on the WWW.
More people (including a jury) wondering why they've never heard about all this dark stuff before.
And it's not like the McCann Golden Age when many were feeling so so sorry for the poor poor parents - those days have long gone.
And more people (including a jury) wondering why the McCanns don't turn up to face the man they are persecuting, not realising that they are severely allergic to witness boxes.

It's going to be the good old Streisand Effect once again - something the McCanns have never managed to get their heads around during all their litigious banger racing. Or maybe they think that this phenomenon, like all other rules and regs on the planet, doesn't apply to them. Well. it does - which shows how little they've learnt and how far their vindictiveness will go, even to the detriment of their own carefully fabricated image.

Kate McCann on another man (GA) she wants to destroy: "He deserves to be miserable and feel fear."
And the same applies to TB too? Is this the nub of this interminable writ-flying? It can't be about the search - what search? It can't be about money - TB, like most of us, would not have resources to cover what C R are asking for. It seems to be about the systematic destruction of people perceived as enemies, born of a malicious sickness.


For TB, a sincere wish, no doubt endorsed by many:

"Let justice be done, though the heavens fall."

This is all about information.



The Information they don't want ANYONE to spread .....the REAL truth.


They seem to think.....jail Tony then it will set a president .....anyone that dares to Insinuate that Madeleine is dead and they had something to do with her disappearance.....Go past GO....do not stop on any houses....go straight to jail.


Sorry to say this Mccanns.....you may be able to squash ONE or TWO people but you cant wipeout mankind.

The arrogance of that remark is just sheer bloody astonishing. Just who the hell does she think she is???

What a good Christian Kate is!!!!

Wonder how long those who are protecting the Mccanns will keep doing so
once the heat is turned up on them and how fast we will see their protectors
start to distance themselves much like some who couldnt wait to speak out in
support of Jimmy Savile after he died have now tried to distance themselves from him
making out they were not close to him.

Any jury should be able to find in favour of Tony, and see the Mccanns for what they are -
trying to cover up what happened to their daughter, trying to stop freedom of speech and having
personal vendettas against people who dare to ask relevant questions about this farce.

Why they would worry about what is being said about them when the main person is Madeleine who is still missing and needs all their energy to find her.

If I was so worried I would get myself on TV where any number of programs would have them. Ask for Dr. Amaral

and Tony Bennett to appear and thrash it out. If they are that concerned about them.JMO

If a full libel trial would include analysis of the work of the sniffer dogs, then I think the McCanns have something to be worried about. Statistics would have to be presented about the success rate of the dogs, Eddie and Keela. And that would be cause for concern for the Teflon Two.
