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

[Dan U]

Govt ditching royal charter by the looks of it, legislation coming out of Queens speech according to twitter.

One way of trying to get the r/w press back on side I guess

 

[elbows]

Is he taking the rap for it then, pretty sure it said there were 3 of them on tape seen doing it.

This handy table of arrests so far includes plenty of others who've been charged with conspiracy to pervert the course of justice, and it would not be surprising if most of them are in relation to the same matter.

[Dillinger4]

Looks like the UK have more journalists currently under arrest than China and Russia combined.

Who'd have thunk it

A purge in all but name

 

[elbows]

And just to clarify that last post of mine, I see in the table:

Rebekah, her husband, her PA, her chauffeur, NI head of security, a NI security guard, and a security consultant in addition to todays bodyguard.

 

[Schmetterling]

Rebekah Brooks bodyguard charged with conspiracy to pervert the course of justice:

This is, among others, in relation to the lappy found in the garage isn't it?

David Allen Green on Daniel Morgan

http://www.newstatesman.com/blogs/politics/2012/10/death-daniel-morgan

and now, Daniel |Morgan comes back to haunt the Met, NotW and his old muckers, Rees, Fillery, Cook and the Vians:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2013/may/10/judge-police-corruption-murder-investigation

The home secretary has ordered a review by a former senior judge into the role police corruption had in shielding the murderers of a private detective found with an axe embedded in his head.
Daniel Morgan was murdered in a south London pub car park in March 1987 and his killers have never been brought to justice.

They never get anyplace with the Morgan stuff.

 

[Streathamite]

They never get anyplace with the Morgan stuff.

very true, and after 25 years I doubt they ever will, least of all in a fashion which will ever help his family.
So, being pragmatic, I take a grim pleasure in the way this keeps on coming back to bite the Met. SE London Regional Crime Squad were shockingly corrupt

So Coulson, Brooks and some others tried a legal manoeuvre to have their prosecution blocked, but it has failed. I've not seen details of what was argued yet but I assume this article will be updated at some point.

Yeah, Guardian promising 'More details soon'...

Proper wriggly arseholes.

 

[butchersapron]

Was on some point of law and have had leave to appeal to SC refused.

 

[Schmetterling]

Aaaaahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

 

[brogdale]

Was on some point of law and have had leave to appeal to SC refused.

In their judgment, the three judges ruled: "Contrary to the legal submission on behalf of the appellants, the resulting situation is not lacking in legal certainty".

Ah...the joys of the bourgeois justice system.

 

[little_legs]

Gosh... you guys have Lord Chief Justice Lord Judge, what a name.

 

[elbows]

Was on some point of law and have had leave to appeal to SC refused.

So the point turns out to be whether it was an offence to access voicemails through hacking after they had been listened to by the original recipient

Good lord. That's not going to please the judiciary is it? And i know that it was tecnhcially jsut discussing point of law but how guilty does that look

 

[elbows]

I couldnt possibly comment

'No prejudice'
Lord Judge allowed the names of the defendants to be reported, saying: "We can see no possible prejudice to the fairness of the forthcoming trial.
"We must not be unrealistic - there can hardly be anyone in the country who does not know to whom this case applies."

Someone has leaked a tape of Murdoch meeting with Sun executives and hacks under investigation.

Have a look here:

Gawker's Nitasha Tiku woke up a sleepy Saturday with the blockbuster rumor. Apparently emails uncovered during the News Corp. phone hacking investigation suggest Brooks has slept with the elder Murdoch, Lachlan Murdoch, and her fellow former News of the World editor Andy Coulson. Tiku heard about the rumor from three top News Corp executives, who say they heard it from lawyers involved with the phone hacking case, and it's apparently spreading through News Corp. hallways. This means Rupert and Lachlan are allegedly what the kids would call "eskimo brothers."

E2A: Your Honour, all I reproduce here is a QUESTION, widely asked. Please God let this not prejudice the trials of Brooks or Coulson, or those (to be announced) of any Murdoch.

 

[elbows]

Trial delayed for 7 weeks for legal reasons that we are not allowed to know the details of.

[steeplejack]

The suggestion that horrifically embarrassing revelations from the trial might derail the Tory conference, are of course the product of cynical and idle minds.

The link is working fine here

May be that is the reason Wendi Deng & Murdoch are getting a divorce.

I had to use a proxy to make the link work, but it was worth it ...
