Bennett's Turned Up

Well, that last comment sure tells us how qualified a solicitor bent tit is, doesn't it? Bottom of the heap and so must be this legal nonentity he was blathering about earlier. And NO barrister is going to take this on; contempt of court is a very serious matter, especially when it is so blatant and continuous. To be involved would mark any barrister's card negatively. And now he has admitted he has money he'll never get pro bono. If found guilty, there will be no financial gain for anyone representing him as his assets will no doubt be seized and forfeit to the court. LL

Excellent points, LL. I should think most barristers would rather defend alleged murderers than someone who breaks solemn vows as readily as Bennett.

Getting involved with him would be a career-wrecker.

He's doing the Chicken Dance

He's done one of those multi-colored replies to someone, which I can't actually be ar@ed copying, but the key sentence is at the end:


Good luck and no sneering from me if you are able to settle this without going to court.

REPLY: I doubt it this time, though I have made an offer to the McCanns which I am not at liberty to disclose.


So, as usual, it's just hot air and LIES? He's trying to wriggle out of this without the Hounders realising what he's up to.

Tony, you know as always that I support you. I am shocked to see that you cannot have legal support though when the people you are fighting are using such as they are, though financed by the money donated for the search of their daughter according to them.

Is anyone going to follow this story in the press? And I don't mean just local papers but national ones. Is there anything at all that I / we can do to help you?

Yes, much is made these days of achieving 'equality of arms' in legal contests in the U.K., but in libel cases this is rather a sick joke.

In terms of firepower and resources, it is a bit like a bloke with a sling or a bow and arrow up against a bloke with a nuclear arsenal at his disposal.

Mind you, the case histories of William Tell and David provide a measure of encouragement...ironically it was the death of King David's child by Bathsheba that got Dr Kate McCann reading one section of her Bible very avidly, in 2 Samuel Chap 12 vv 14-24, well worth a read if you've got a dust-laden Bible on your shelves. Shortly after, they had another child. Solomon. So it wasn't all bad news.

As for what you and others can do, Nina, thanks very much for asking, I would suggest:

* keep digging,

* publicise all relevant facts about the case,

* support Goncalo Amaral's support fund and, if possible,

* come and support me by being at the trial, it will be great to be among a few friends when I go down - or stay up.

Oh, and if you haven't already done so, please sign the petition calling for a full public enquiry into all aspects of the disappearance of Madeleine McCann; our support for this petition is listed as 'Breach of Undertaking No. 89' on the Carter-Ruck list of my 149 alleged breaches of my undertaking; to sign, click on the Care2 icon on our home page: www.bennettisbonkers.org.uk

As the petition itself is listed as a possible breach of my undertaking, there is a real risk that the court, after the trial, might order its removal.

Words fail me.

It seems to have escaped Bennett that HE is the bully and the bad guy, and GONC is the tyrannical thug.

That's a treble Eek by the way.
He is actively encouraging other people to do one of the things he is accused of doing when he broke the terms of the undertaking. That isn't insanity, that is just plain bad, and cocking a snook at The High Court. And neither does he care if anyone else gets dragged into this. Not that I care either.

And he has more than enough money to pay for a Defence, if you can call it that. £90,000 the last I heard, apart from what he has since had to fork out, of course.

Legal Aid to Defend the Right to Libel? Perhaps he is Insane after all.

That is such a Hoot. The McCanns never did want his money. They just want him to stop hounding Innocent People. And he would likely see their acceptance as a right to carry on.

Bonny - barristers work on a "cab rank" basis - when offered a case they cannot turn it down (some exceptions - personal involvement, financial interest etc).


Anyone representing Bennett would be expected to do the best job they can. And rightly so.

The following may be of help:

Ah, right sans. Oh, now he's asking the hounders for legal advice, quote:

I would gladly accept help and advice from anyone who has the time and the inclination to look through my witness statement as it's being drafted, and offer to correct it and make any suggestions. This would be on the strict understanding that my drafts were not disclosed by you to anyone else. If you would like to help me in this way, simply e-mail me at ajsbennett@btinternet.com, many thanks

Oh, so his emails are not to be disclosed, but he feels free to post everyone else's in public.

Including yours, I seem to recall, sans? What a silly man he is.

someone should offer their services then

Even now the slime-ball is still blaming the McCanns for his wrong doing!

he's off his rocker. He's had so many chances. And it all boils down to the fact that the people who have reluctantly had to take him to court are the parents of an abducted child. I wonder how that sits with his family?

He's the same as his idol Gonc - he can talk the talk, but walking the walking is a different thing altogether.

When challenged to back up their vile allegations and vendettas, they immediately start whinging and blaming their victims, and expecting the rest of the world to feel sorry for them.

Of course Bonny. It is based on his sense of "entitlement".

There is a perfectly simple solution to his problem, which would not cost him a huge amount. But I am not going to tell him.And none of his "supporters" will have the legal knowledge to tell him.

Dommage....

He needs to shut the hell up, already!

Isn't this just the most pathetic, spineless display? I hope the McCanns tell him to stick his offer - he's proven he can't be trusted to keep his word about anything.

Time to let the law take its course; he can whinge at the judge and see how far that gets him.

That sounds like he is begging for your help, Sans Souci. What a laugh that would be. Bennett needs the help of the one Pro who had compassion enough to help him, and probably the only person who knows what he is talking about.

And I wouldn't blame you if you did help him, Sans. There can't be all that much that you could do since has so spectacularly shot himself in both feet.

Yeah, like that'll work....Not! He will only come back as, ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ!

There is absolutely no chance of that happening Sabot. This time he really needs a lesson.

You are right of course, Sans, but this is so very sad. He sought to make a fool of you because you tried to help him. I guess we should all feel sick about that. Good men don't mock compassion.

Interesting point Sabot. I would help anyone, of course. As would the vast majority of members of the legal profession. In fact in the criminal bar there is a duty to draw the defenses attention to anything which may help their case (in the interests of justice being both done and seen to be done).

But I honestly believe that Bennett is quite beyond help. I do not say that lightly - he is quite determined to thumb his nose at the authority of the courts, he cannot be trusted to stand by any undertaking he may give, and is determined that he "knows best".

He prefers the adulation of his bunch of creepy, no hope followers to actually using his unique qualities to do some good in the world.

So be it.

The McCanns have not asked for him to be imprisoned

Well said, sans. Look at Tony's screenshot ^^^^^^^^ - Bennett is still LYING. Any sentence will be suspended - PROVIDED he doesn't repeat the offence.

Personally, I think he will. He probably thinks he is going to be some kind of martyr, when in reality, the media are going to paint him as he really is - a nasty old stalker with a dirty mind.

Mr and Mrs Joe Public will be begging for him to be locked up away from normal, decent society, when they find out just what he has been doing to people.

A further thought:

Bennett wrote:

"Not so in my case, it seems. By way of response, Carter-Ruck have clarified the position so far as claiming costs against me is concerned. This is what they have said:

“In relation to your queries about our clients’ costs, we entered into as fee-paying retainer with our clients in relation to this Contempt of Court application. As previously indicated ,our clients intend (as they are entitled) to seek an Order for the repayment of their costs by you in the event that their application is successful”."

Was this man actually a solicitor? His knowledge of the law and civil procedure seems surprisingly sparse.

The following link may be helpful:

The McCanns are very likely to win this action. Had they used a conditional fee arrangement with CR, Bennett would have been liable to meet both carter rucks fees and the success fee - which usually doubles their fee.

So by entering into a standard fee paying retainer, the McCanns are minimising Bennetts potential costs. And taking on the risk (albeit small) of having to meet CR costs should the contempt case go against them. (had they elected for a no win no fee arrangement then that would eliminate that risk).

Bennett should pause and reflect for a moment. And consider himself fortunate to have chosen people of honour as his victims.

That is even more sad. He could have done much good.

But I suspect that he now has his sights on The Court of Human Rights, although they are much more interested in Humanity of which he has none.

Oh Lord, my ribs are sore - now the Hounders are looking to Chinese astrology to rescue them

Whatever be the reason for mccanns postponement of their case against TB to coincide with the date of their case against Amaral, there is a good reason behind it. And I suspect it is not a coincidence but a manipulation on team mccanns' part to have it postponed to until their case against Amaral is heard.

IMPO, they are afraid of the verdict of their case against Amaral. A ruling against them will have a very significant impact on their litigations against TB. A verdict in Amaral's favour means TB can cite the ruling to his advantage.
No sane UK judge will disregard another court's ruling completely. even if it is the ruling of a foreign country jurisdictions because all jurisdictions are based on principles of justice and truth.

This Chinese New year (lunar calender) sees us into into the year of the black water dragon. This water dragon year will be a very auspicious and good year for Amaral, being born in year of the boar. This water dragon is very good for birth sign of rooster and boar.

Kate and gerry are both born in the year of the monkey. Although rat, monkey and dragon are allies hence compatible, the feng shui in this water dragon year still favours the boar more than monkey. So this year's feng shui is more in Amaral's favour than the mccanns.
The mccanns have to watch what they say this year and can expect to lose their money this year from what I read of feng shui so far.



'Feng shui' - that's to do with where doors and windows are in houses

This water dragon year will be a very auspicious and good year for Amaral, being born in year of the boar.


So, Gonc's a big pig is he? No surprise there then

All it needs now is J. Domino

Did they mean Bore? Oh, No, that's Bennett, although Amaral can get a bit boring at times.

And Amaral hasn't got any doors or windows because he didn't pay his rent or mortgage, so we can forget that Feng Shui stuff.
