ABOVE: Solicitor Tony Bennett is in the dock over accusing Madeline
McCann's parents for child neglect |
A FORMER solicitor faces a nervous wait to find out if he will be
jailed for accusing Madeleine McCann’s parents of
covering up her death.
Kate and Gerry McCann claim
Tony Bennett, 65, is in contempt of court
for breaching promises that he would not repeat the
allegations.
They claim he has broken his legal undertaking 26 times in the
past three years.
Mr Bennett said he was only repeating what hundreds of others have
said on the web and in books.
But he told Mr Justice Tugendhat at the High Court in London that
if he had broken the terms of his order, he was sorry.
The judge said the McCanns feared that their campaign to find her
would suffer if people thought she was dead, as they
would not report sightings.
He reserved his ruling and hopes to give a decision within two
weeks. |
