MADDIE WATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann
DAILY STAR: “MCCANNS’ OPRAH WINDFALL”
MADELEINE McCann’s parents are planning a big bucks interview with US chatshow queen Oprah Winfrey to boost their search fund.
They’ve cracked America. In yer face Barbara Walters.
It is understood Oprah, 54, would be willing to break the bank for a cosy chat with Kate and Gerry.
How the Star came to understand this is unsaid. But let’s look out for the “cosy chat” - the one performed before tens of millions of people. Who’s looking for the missing child? We’re watching the parents.

“According to their spokesman, Clarence Mitchell, the couple believe that the public could be misled ……… ”

Hmmm, I wonder who has been doing the best part of the misleading up until now

See ya later Brandon.
Julie, that sounds quite strict

Over here, if you stay away from the court date, and you still haven’t paid the debt you are summonsed to court for, they immediately issue an arrest warrant, and you are in contempt of court as well!
Although they don’t immediately go out to arrest, there is then an arrest warrant out for you, and they can turn up at any time, depending on how busy they are!!

Oi Brandon. Cannot you do an urgent transfer via internet banking? Don’t know about the UK, but here and in NL, your case having been in court, you’ll be facing a nice little fine on top of it …!

Brandon, surely the bailiffs will only come after a period of time…
July 10th, 2008 at 11:39 am
BF, I’m not in the UK as you know. But, I would say that if it is today at 12, then you should have done one of two things :
1. Appear in court to dispute
2. Pay up before the court time
I would say that when the case is called and you are not there, they will see that it is still not paid, and immediately issue an arrest warrant (that’s how it works here anyway)
GO AND PAY!! Then at least if they turn up at your door, you can prove you’ve paid.

I totally forgot about it and its today at noon.
I only have to appear if I dispute it. But the question is if they hammer me, do they send the bay liffs round straight away?
or do I get a few days to pay? Bloody anorak! making me put things off and off

Let’s be very honest. If any of us were in the Mc’s shoes, the LAST person on earth I would want to interview me on a TV show would be Oprah. She has a way of getting people to answer things that they really had no intention of answering!
THAT’S IT!! The PJ should hire Oprah as a detective to interview the Tapas bunch - betcha someone will split something.
July 10th, 2008 at 11:28 am
have to go now - see you all later. Bye,
July 10th, 2008 at 11:27 am
If a questions is asked by Oprah that the Mcs don’t want to answer, that will be a reflection on them alright. Sometimes actions speak more than words. Wonder if the interview will go ahead with Oprah. Oprah is not stupid you know.

I’m surprised they haven’t started a law suit against our heroes, Eddie and Keela ….. for sniffing in the wrong spots

The New York Times seems to be a little sceptical of the District Attorney in question, and who can blame them following her earlier responsibility for the John Mark Karr debacle:
Prosecutor Defends Actions After Ramsey Case Falls Apart
‘District Attorney Mary T. Lacy on Tuesday defended her decision to send her investigators halfway around the globe to arrest a man in the 1996 murder of JonBenet Ramsey, after the case collapsed Monday on the disclosure that DNA tests did not link him to the killing.’
‘Ms. Lacy is facing a storm of criticism from scores of local residents who have been calling her and sending her e-mail messages to tell her she should be “tarred and feathered.” Gov. Bill Owens, a Republican, said that she should be “held responsible for the most expensive DNA test in Colorado history.”
Of course, the New York Times has it’s own embarassments with Ms Lacy:
‘Reflection and Red Faces After the Ramsey Storm’
‘It was a day of delicate backtracking for the news organizations and television programs that, two weeks earlier, had breathlessly announced the news that John Mark Karr had been arrested in the death of JonBenet Ramsey. News of Mr. Karr’s arrest had landed on the front pages of newspapers, including The New York Times, The Washington Post and The Los Angeles Times, and filled hundreds of hours on the cable talk shows that had obsessively covered the case from its beginning in 1996.’
It’s probably safe to say that the latest claim is unlikely to put the conspiracy theorists to rest, not least because the FBI affadavits in the Brooke Bennett case disclose that her uncle, now under arrest for her kidnapping, had conspired to obtain a semen sample from another man to use as a false clue to implicate that person in her disappearance…
