I fail to see how pulling out of a massive shows appearance helps in their apparent goal of finding Maddie though...any more than getting a large payoff from Amaral would have. All of a sudden its all 'we don't want the court case to take attention away from the search'...who started the case? And they were all too happy to bleat on about it whilst they thought they were getting 400k or whatever it was. Happy that he was too broke to have proper defence at his appeal as they had all his assets frozen. Unlucky that not everyone else likes to see something so onesided and actually one of the only people who ever actually tried to find out what happened to their daughter.

How did he manage to pay his solicitor for the appeal? I heard somewhere that people were making donations to him

They are NEVER accused of murdering their daughter and the book outlines the lines of inquiry the police followed during the investigation and how they came to the conclusion that the abduction story was a fairytale. Its actually really interesting and kind of shows that the Portuguese police weren't as useless as we were told at all. I would buy a physical copy if I could even though I have read it though.

I found it online and printed it off, going to get it read soon

There was an appeal fund set up by Leanne,who was hounded so badly by Mc fans on Twitter she had a break down and closed her account ,it raised twice the money needed in 2 weeks !! so strong is the support for him,McCann froze all his assets 7 years ago,and without the backing of the public his appeal wouldn't even have took place ....there was even a £1000 donation from a group of policemen/women ...... and do you know Daily Mail are currently doorstepping people who donated ... An everyday missing child case ?

So the public paid for his appeal? Brilliant. Yeah, the newspaper protection of those two is worrying and very very strange. You can bet if those parents were on benefits and living in a council estate those newspapers would have had them tried and sentenced through the media years ago...baffling indeed
