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

[butchersapron]

RB was due to answer bail this week regarding the original hacking stuff, which might suggest this is new stuff.

She'll be livid those Sun jounos got the 'I'm feeling suicidal' thing in first.

 

[Wilf]

Max Clifford's team will be working on something for her as we speak. "My arrest horror bought on Athlete's Foot".

 

[butchersapron]

Another one of the arrested is Mark Hanna, director of group security at NI - a role specially made for him. Potentially very interesting

 

[Schmetterling]

Fantastic! In my opinion the only reason she had a child was to barter/garner sympathy with; i.e. a lesser sentence for the good of the child. Oh, please, please, please, please let it all tumble down.
Sometimes we need to see someone get their just deserts.

"It is often our own actions that prevent us from moving forward which can make the difference between doing what is right or expected, to those that make us victims of our own doings...it is often those of the individuals who seem to blatantly ignore the basic elements of their role that need reviewing at every level, from site-based staff through to senior management."

Mark Hanna - PROPHET!

 

[Schmetterling]

Arrests were co-ordinated: suggests to me the police wanted to ensure there was no alerting one another!

I suspect the 'attacks on poor rebecca motivated by sexism' line will be trotted out in due course.

Yeah - dawn raid, co-ordinated arrests (houses searched?) - this looks like the cops being pretty serious. After whetting our appetites like this I will be very dissapointed if there are no charges.

 

[butchersapron]

And whose up at leveson today who might fancy having a bit of heat taken off?

And just to remind us of what a sweet innocent thing she is, Chris Bryant on when he met her:

"She came up to me and said, 'Oh, Mr Bryant, it's after dark -- shouldn't you be on Clapham Common?" At which point Ross Kemp [her then husband] said, 'Shut up, you homophobic cow'."

from the graun ..

Charlie Brooks had been hoping to attend the Cheltenham festival today, writing in his column for the Daily Telegraph that "the happiest moment of my year" is about three hours before the first race

Oh dear. Not this year its not Charlie.

Dawn raid. No 'make an appointment and come down the cop shop' this time.
Oh dear. Must have been a terrible experience for her.

Shame there wasn't a few tabloid photographers on hand to record the event,wonder how much coverage the Sun will give this story,between zero and nil I reckon.

How has the prat got himself mixed up in this?

'Charlie, I'm in a spot of bother can you get rid of this laptop please?' 'No Rebecca go fuck yourself, this is your mess'

Sun in Restrained, Measured Reporting Shocker

From the article:

"Today's arrest come after her lawyer, Stephen Parkinson, said evidence given by Sue Akers at the Leveson Inquiry had brought "much prejudicial material" into the public domain."

The poor, put upon lady ain't gonna get a fair trial. There, there dear.

 

[Wilf]

Freddie Star ate my habeas corpus

 

[equationgirl]

Remember the palaver about his lost/dumped/etc bag?
Always had a suspicion we hadn't heard the last of that.

I always thought that was well dodgy too - who was the supposed 'friend' for a start? It was all a bit

 

[Kaka Tim]

hmmm - dunno what to make of this. Hes arguing that holding the levenson enquiry prior to the police completing the investigation may make it impossible for crimanal trials to proceed agasint the likes of brooks - because their trial will be prejudiced by the enquiry proceedings.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2012/mar/13/rebekah-brooks-fair-trial-leveson-inquiry

Prejudicial media coverage does not always impede the progress of criminal justice. The reporting of the Tommy Sheridan perjury case was also prejudicial – as a prominent Scottish QC agreed when I sought his opinion – but the trial continued and Sheridan was convicted. However, Brooks is better placed than Sheridan ever was. Despite this morning's dramatic developments, I still find it difficult to believe that she will ever walk into a dock.

 

[London_Calling]

A Jock on a wind up. Toilet paper.

He scuppers his own point by citing the Sheridan case, but if he's still worried about prejudicing potential trials he could reflect on, for example, Daily Mail headlines (and bad press in general) in relation to the recent Dobson/Norris retrial.

Also, by the end of this they should have Brooks on so many counts it won't matter - proper criminal stuff, not the sleb hacking. If she doesn't go down, I'm Raisa the horse.

 

[Kaka Tim]

Wind up toilet paper?

 

[weltweit]

Bored with all these arrests and bails, when is there going to be some charging?

 

[London_Calling]

You have to wade through the evidence to know what to charge them with - inconveniently, it's not an episode of Law and Order.

This is going to go on for years yet.

Has any person arrested in these investigations been charged yet? Not any to my knowledge.

Considering what the press speculate about and sensationalise in other investigations prior to charges being laid, i reckon a judge led inquiry is small beer in terms of prejudicing fair trials.

This investigation is getting nowhere near the coverage that other more salacious stories get. As long as "Horsegate" is kept out of any trial, i reckon a jury of twelve will be easily found who have no preconceived ideas about the subject - just like most other trials.

Wouldn't it be lovely if Murdoch has to close another Sunday rag within weeks of launching it, along with it's elderly parent.

Good run down of the story so far. Sabbagh/Graun

Colin Myler, NoW editor, told the Press Complaints Commission in August 2009: "Our internal inquiries have found no evidence of involvement by News of the World staff other than Clive Goodman in phone-message interception beyond the email transcript which emerged in April 2008 during the Gordon Taylor litigation."

Parse that sentence carefully, and he told no provable lie. Sneaky bastard.

Ooh, maximum sentence for perverting the course is life.

the couple spent at least 12 hours being questioned by detectives in different police stations, in Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire, regarding an offence that carries a theoretical maximum term of life. In practice, however, nobody found guilty has received a jail term of greater than 10 years for it in the last century. The two were released on bail until a date in April. Four others were also released on bail.

We, the Great British Public, are not entirely stupid. We can tell the difference between (sections of) the press on a witchhunt and a very senior police officer detailing known facts, on oath, before a judicial inquiry.

Parading both evidence and informed, detailed understanding in front of Leveson before any criminal proceedings almost inevitably prejudices subsequent trials, particularly high profile, politically charged, ones. The narrative link is clear- as evidence is being given in one paragraph, arrests are being made in another, they jockey (ha!) for main headline, day after day. I think you'd have problems finding anyone who doesn't think Brookes, Coulson etc are guilty as sin.

Steve Bell from a few weeks back. What I'm liking is that his current cartoons still have the reins on. Will condom-head ever shake them off, or has Bell got them stuck on for good?
