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

[agricola]

Or they could just be playing to the public demands on a flimsy as shite 'case' (see also John Terry).

Fingers crossed they've got it right this time...

er - the John Terry case was not "flimsy as shite", unless you think that him being recorded, witnessed and admitting calling Ferdinand a "fucking black cunt" in the midst of an argument between the two is flimsy.

Yeh he didn't mean it though.

Terry did not admit to calling Ferdinand a "fucking black cunt". He admitted to asking Ferdnand if he thought he had said that.

They had zero chance of a conviction. Even the prosecution knew it (IMO etc).

 

[Lord Camomile]

Point of order, he didn't admit calling Ferdinand "a fucking black cunt", just saying the words.

 

[Ted Striker]

Anyone, enough of that twat, apologies for the derail...

Terry did not admit to calling Ferdinand a "fucking black cunt". He admitted to asking Ferdnand if he thought he had said that.

Maybe they were just asking Mr Mulcaire if he was willing to hack Millie Dowler's voicemail. 'When I said who will rid me of this turbulant priest, I didn't intend you to...'.

Terry will be outside the court in his Chipping Norton kit.

 

[Kaka Tim]

The eight will make their first appearance at Westminster Magistrates on August 16th.

I assume thats the prelimarnary job where they set bail conditions etc. Is this when the actual trial date is set?

 

[DaveCinzano]

The Wolfman has been rebailed till September according to the Graun. Plus he's now got a twitter account

 

[DaveCinzano]

And I like the desperate non-denial denial from Coulson about the Milly Dowler hacking charge:

I would like to say one thing today about the Milly Dowler allegation. Anyone who knows me, or who worked with me, would know that I wouldn't, and more importantly that I didn't, do anything to damage the Milly Dowler investigation.

 

[Flanflinger]

Might end up with the odd minor conviction. Most cases will collapse either before or during the trial.

 

[two sheds]

Yes, I'm sure the judge won't want to call witnesses to say that they did it for fear of making the case complicated.

Another interesting new development, Sun journo being held on 'conspiracy to gather data from stolen mobile phones'

Seems to be the Chief Foreign correspondent.

Mulcaire named names to NOTW hacking victim's lawyer, Met granted access to statement

From the above...

Earlier on Monday the court heard that claimants had made new allegations against News of the World publisher News International... These allegations were related to "exemplary damages" claims but were not identified in court.

[claims] which the company said it believed were "unsustainable".

They would, wouldn't they?

News Corporation directors could face charges for neglect of duties

Brooks charged today, they slipped that out.

She's appearing at court about 2 weeks before the other 6 who all appear together (it looks like)?

Thus giving her time and space to make a deal that kebabs the other defendants.

 

[DexterTCN]

I was thinking that. Wonder if they're thinking the same now (the other 6).

Or vice versa - the others stitch her up?

Or a bidding war with the CPS to see who can rat loudest and longest?

For reference the others, next due in court on 16 August, are:

• Andy Coulson, David Cameron's former spin doctor
• Stuart Kuttner, ex-managing editor
• Greg Miskiw, former news editor
• Ian Edmondson, former head of news
• Neville Thurlbeck, ex-chief reporter
• James Weatherup, former reporter

Thurlbeck gone a bit wildcard.

But the idea of Brooks stitching up Coulson probably entertains the most

It could, if we're lucky, produce a veritable clusterfuck of twat stabbing twat in the back.

Ooh, I think I've got a semi on!

that really does paint a beautiful picture.

Rats fighting in a sack comes to mind

 

[claphamboy]

It's funny whenever this thread pops up in my alerts I think perhaps spymaster has something right with the whole bring back capital punishment argument.

 

[Wilf]

Rats fighting in a sack comes to mind

I'm hoping they all dance on the roof of an SUV before going into court to confess their sins. Inspired by the example of Saint Jessica of Ennis, there's no way they'll rat each other out.

Operation Elveden: Journalist and police officer arrested
BBC News. 7 August 2012

A 37-year-old journalist was arrested at his home in north London on Tuesday morning. A 29-year-old police officer was also arrested at his home in Sussex.

Some 43 people have been arrested as part of Operation Elveden, being run in conjunction with Operation Weeting, which is looking into phone hacking.

How many more arrests are there going to be? So many bad apples.

Former News of the World (NoW) editor Mr Coulson, ex-managing editor Stuart Kuttner, former news editor Greg Miskiw, former head of news Ian Edmondson, ex-chief reporter Neville Thurlbeck, former reporter James Weatherup and private investigator Glenn Mulcaire face a total of 19 charges... adjourned until 26 September at Southwark Crown Court.
