Dr Amaral's Defence Funds

What fantastic news for a sunny Monday morning

I bet the fragrant and ever ladylike Kate McCann had a few choice words to say when she found out

I'm a bit behind but absolutely brilliant that the target has been reached.

Well done Leanne. 

Hopefully the MSM are taking note and this will get reported (the right way).

More coverage, exposure and money to come.

The truth will always win in the end.

Fantastic stuff.

Arguably there is no 'wrong' way for them to report this, as even the slightest mention drives more cash to the site. This is probably why we (mercifully) hear much less about the Drs McCann these days.

Very true.

Just don't want to be hearing /reading the word 'trolls'.

Makes me sick!!

Gonçalo Amaral’s appeal fund reaches its €25,000 target… and keeps going


In a whirlwind month, the fund set up by a young single mother from Birmingham to support former “Maddie cop” Gonçalo Amaral in his appeal over record damages awarded against him in a civil case taken out by the parents of Madeleine McCann has reached its €25,000 target.

A total of 1,555 people have raised the money, giving multiple messages of encouragement.

And in Portugal, the Project Justiça Goncalo Amaral blogsite has acknowledged the huge boost to its ongoing efforts.

But the truth is that “quite a bit more money is needed” Leanne Baulch, the 22-year-old behind the gofundme appeal set up in UK told us.

“I think what is needed is around £40,000,” she told us this morning, against the background noise of her toddler daughter yodelling “Hello!” into the Skype microphone.

“I want to keep this going,” she explained.

As we spoke, Leanne’s initial target had already been surpassed by £375.

Meantime, the PJGA website in Portugal has itemised all monies received so far to help the former police inspector finance his appeal against damages that would see him forced to pay the McCanns over €500,000 - money he has always explained he does not have.

According to the PJGA’s latest posting, the £25,000 raised by Leanne’s appeal has been boosted by €5,643 raised via PayPal along with a further $90 dollars.

The site affirms that all the money will be going to “cover expenses related to the defence of Gonçalo Amaral with regard to the civil action presented by the McCann family”, and it adds that a new message will follow when an appeal has been presented.

The saga centring on the McCann’s distress over Amaral’s book The Truth of the Lie has been ongoing for almost six years - with the couple maintaining that Amaral’s theory that they faked their daughter’s abduction caused them “devastation, desperation, anxiety and pain”.

Been away for the weekend and have been restricted to short sporadic visits online on my mobile. Just logged on properly to see this fantastic news. I hope Leanne keeps going to reach the £40,000 she thinks Goncalo will need.

Thanks Freedom x

Interesting that the McCanns own theory that Madeleine was violently abducted by a predatory Paedo **** and is in a Hellish Lair in the Lawless Hinterlands within 10 miles of PdL and has remained there being abused for the past 8 years . . .
does NOT cause them anguish and all the rest

But a theory of accidental death DOES.

Hear, hear ...!

Well here's the story .........

http://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/latest-news/445625/Madeline-McCann-Portugal-appeal-25K

Sick trolls raised £25k for McCann cop's court appeal

It was revealed that 1,559 people, including trolls, have pledged donations via a website to Goncarlo Amaral’s appeal against a £357,000 order.

And one four-figure donation is allegedly from members of the Metropolitan Police in London, which is conducting its own probe into Madeleine’s disappearance in Portugal in 2007.

The donation to Mr Amaral’s fighting fund on website gofundme.com was credited to “MPS”, believed to refer to the Metropolitan Police Service

It is claimed the money came from “an anonymous but very large group of British police officers” said to be “outraged at the way in which a senior investigating officer has been treated”.

Mr Amaral was ordered to surrender the cash by a Portuguese court after accusing Kate McCann, 47, and Gerry, 46, of covering up their missing daughter’s death in a book about the case.

Leanne Baulch, 22, from Birmingham, said she launched the fighting fund in a “quest for justice” because Mr Amaral couldn’t raise the money.

She said cash had poured in from “all over the globe”.

Was it someone here that said almost word for word what a MSM article would say about this? *Golf clap*

Well at least all the facts are there, even mentioning the donation from the police, so not all bad.  Not only are all the donators trolls but they are now elevated to 'sick trolls'.  I expect the kind hearted people who donated including the police will not be too happy with that tag.  However, it will make lots of people look and check it out,  so all in all could be worse, at least it is out there.

Lots of publicity for the fund

I take it they are calling the MPS (if it was them) trolls as well? at least they are still calling Goncalo Mr.
How come they dont say anything about the Mcanns spending money to find Madeleine on fancy lawyers and mortgages,in my opinion that is disgusting but nobody says a word about that.

I see PeterMac made another donation and left a good message too.

Apologies just noticed the Daily Star thread.

Just watched the video in that article. I couldn't get any sound but it is highly inaccurate. No round table, 3 Smiths not 9, Gerry and Jez on other side of road, Jane practically touching Tannerman who is going opposite way, to name but a few.
No wonder people still have the wrong idea about what happened.
Still at least it has been mentioned and any publicity is better than none.

Replace the words 'sick trolls' with 'truth seekers' and the article is actually ok. 

".....1559 people, including trolls"

So what are other people called Jerry?

Will generate lots more exposure anyway. Nice one.
