Today was to be a big day in the ongoing Amaral libel trial; everyone was geared up, raring to go, the press, the 'pretendy' reporters and the throng of Amaral fans who have been lining the streets for days, nay, weeks, just for a quick look at their idol, maybe a smile at them from him as he passed by, neat, clean, dressed in his best shirt, suit and tie as he slouched by, unwashed, grubby shirt, no tie, tatty pants and messed up hair. And the big moment? Ah, that was to be as he faced off with Gerry McCann across a packed courtroom. However, the best laid plans of mice and men often go astray, and today was no exception. What happened is no new thing, in fact it is par for the course as this list shows:
Further information is that the 'child' of the lawyer, who was, so it is claimed, undergoing urgent surgery is in fact an adult having a planned procedure on its hand and also that, it is claimed, this scenario was set up yesterday,. A question, what is Amaral so afraid of that he runs from Gerry McCann?
And so it goes on. Beating up on a woman is so easy, but facing a grieving father is something else. And now his fans are screaming and shrieking so loud it is starting to make windows shake. And they are spinning, oh, how they are spinning, because we all know, don't we, that everything is the McCanns' fault. It will be very interesting to see AnnGuedes - the wonderful accredited reporter of the Justice forum - spins this one, and how thick and fast the excuses from the antis on there pile up. I personally look forward to see what the UK media makes of this; quite a few reporters have been attacked on line as being McCann supporters as has already been spoken of on the social media sites. Poor AnnGuedes, no 'off the truth somewhat' items for her to send to John Admin for 'editing'. I think this calls for a 'Watch This Space' (and others) attitude from all and sundry.1. Lawyer is seriously, nay, incurably ill. Lawyer recovered after his bill was paid from the Gonc fund.
2. Lawyer's secretary may have swine flu.
3. Lawyer lives too far away to represent Gonc.
4. Gonc couldn't make it to court in Marcos case which he himself brought as Faro is too far away from Lisbon.
5. Gonc is now living in Lisbon police station and will give testimony via video from station.
6. No sign of Gonc at other end of video when Faro court sits yet again.
7. Faro judge sends out search parties and discovers Gonc lied about living in police station.
He lost that one to Ms Duarte and got landed with the entire court costs. There have doubtless been other stupid excuses, but those are the most memorable ones.
