Missing Milly Dowler's voicemail "hacked by News of the World"

[laptop]

Will she be bailed?

Unless she announces to ossifers her intention to flee to Paraguay in the morning, yes...

Well, I wouldn't put it past her, to be honest...she does not appear to be very trustworthy recently.

 

[Gingerman]

being arrested doesn't by itself prove someone's a criminal. and as the guildford four, birmingham six and tottenham three cases have shown, you don't have to have committed a crime to be fucked over. so less of the association of arrest with criminality, and of criminality with being scum.

It was a fucking joke ffs ,Brookes was a great one for banging on about law and order when she was in charge of the Sun and NoTW.Shoe's on the other foot now

 

[equationgirl]

Except she openly admitted that they'd paid officers for information. That is against the law.

But surely that is evidence/proof that a crime has been committed, not that she has been convicted of the crime.

Which leads to my next question: to be a criminal does one have to have been convicted of a crime in a court of law, or just have participated in illegal activities?

That would be a matter for the libel court to decide, if the person you call "a criminal" can afford to go there and sue you.

And like she's not up to her fucking eyeballs in the shit that has gone on, in fact she has even admitted it [as the editor, the u75 one - lol, has pointed out], so why not cut the crap over those other cases?

 

[laptop]

Nevertheless, the notion that an accused person has a right to a defence is worth preserving.

Even for her.

 

[equationgirl]

plus, U75 can't afford a libel case.

Innocent until PROVEN guilty is the cornerstone of our legal system. Even, as laptop points out, for the likes of RB et al.

 

[Pickman's model]

Except she openly admitted that they'd paid officers for information. That is against the law.

yes: but gingerman wasn't making that point, as i read it s/he was rather too eager for an arrest to mean conviction.

Not really,just thought it was ironic that someone who used to bang the law and order drum as a newspaper editor has been arrested twice in the last few years,granted she was released 1st time round without charge.

Any missing?

Channel 4 news is reporting that the Serious Fraud Office is now involved in the investigation of News International

 

[butchersapron]

C4 news suggesting that "Serious Fraud Office now in preliminary investigation of News International"

 

[ferrelhadley]

The Sunday Mirror says a Press Association royal reporter arrested as part of the hacking investigation is set to be cleared of any wrongdoing. Laura Elston is the only journalist with no links to the News of the World to be arrested. Prince Charles' spokesman Paddy Harverson borrowed her phone to check

A small matter cleared up perhaps.

 

[ferrelhadley]

Leaked documents obtained by the BBC show Mr Rees was paid by the Mirror for work in 1998 and 1999 researching information on figures including Peter Mandelson, Alistair Campbell, Will Carling, Bank of England governors and a production company owned by the Earl and Countess of Wessex.

Yep. It's amazng how many of the right wing law and order types always seem to have an abundance of skeletons screaming to be released from their own closets.

 

[two sheds]

I thought i'd seen that Wade has backtracked on the admission that police had been paid and is now saying she believed it was true but had no actual experience or evidence of it.
