Star- Libel hearing date

He looks emaciated.  

He's barely recognisable from his heyday:

Look at that podgy face.  

Imagine that apparition looking for your missing child - he looks like an extra from Miami Vice.   

He really seems be panicking now. Wonder if he's been sitting by the phone, waiting in vain for the Yard and PJ to call him?

Me niether, seeing as how we know all Gonc has up his sleeve is the grubby tissue he's crying into.  

Surprised none of the Gonc cult are asking about the hastily-removed translation of a print-only interview with Gonc's latest lawyer. Good job we got a copy before the hateblogger removed it.

                      

about: "waiting in vain for the Yard and PJ to call him?", he can as well be seated in a comfortable chair (if he have one, or on top of a barrel of beer) because that will never happen, unless of course to arrest him.

Instead of sitting by his phone, sobbing like a teenager who's been stood up by her date, you would think Gonc would be eager to phone the Yard/PJ and tell them all about his Ace, wouldn't you? Why, that Ace would Crack the Case, save Gonc from getting hauled into court - he'd be a hero instead of a zero!

Sadly for Gonc, he hasn't got an Ace, and never did have, hence his present sorry plight. He really should tell his fan club the truth for a change.

He DOES. Well it's right up his street. Drug trafficking and prostitution. He would be one of the worst bad guys Sonny and Rico dealt with.  

Pretendypete forlornly asks:

And are we still right in thinking that provided the respondent honestly believed what he said, that is sufficient to kill the case ?

No, 'we' aren't. The respondent aka Gonc was told repeatedly that he was wrong; if he'd bothered to read and UNDERSTAND the forensic reports in autumn 2007 he wouldn't be in this jam. The proof that he was wrong was there six years ago.

Gonc has been given chapter and verse, repeatedly, on why he was talking sh'te, and nasty, vicious sh'te at that.

He ignored every single bit of it.

And he doesn't have an Ace.

I know, the dog ate it?  

Here briefly. Got a friend staying.

A Portuguese Detective Inspector with a Conviction for Lying honestly believed that The McCanns were guilty, despite having absolutely No Evidence? From which he then proceeded to make loads a money by libelling The McCanns wholesale?
And PeterMac, Ex Superintendent, needs to ask?

Just who is this piker? If he is in some way representative of The UK Police then one can only be thankful that he retired before he did any serious damage. If in fact he didn't do any serious damage. I am definitely beginning to wonder.

Aren't we all, Sabot?

PeterMac is no better than Amaral. Absolutely no proof, and yet he continues to Libel The McCanns. And wrote a poxy book.
So PeterMac, because he has retired, now thinks that he has a right to ignore the basic principles of English Law?

Is this what we can expect from retired British Policeman? Presuming that he ever was.

He is just an ignoramus, Sabot. He has no real influence. If he were out leafletting etc that would be different?

Decisions, decisions. Should we post the hastily-removed interview with Gonc's lawyer in public, or carry on chortling to ourselves about Gonc's woes?

It's very funny watching the Gonc cult deluding themselves.

Could you post it up please? I haven't seen it.

All in favor? Aye......

Done!
