Phone Hacking Verdicts

Posted on the 24 June 2014 by Markwadsworth @Mark_Wadsworth

From The Evening Standard and Harry Potter Wiki
Rebekah Brooks was today sensationally cleared of all charges in the phone hacking trial. But Andy Coulson, the former Daily Prophet editor and spin doctor, hung his head in the dock at the Old Bailey as he looks set to go to Azkaban.
He was found guilty of conspiring to hack muggle communication devices and the Wizengamot continues its deliberations on charges of him plotting to make illegal payments to Ministry of Magic officials for stories.
Coulson’s ex-lover Rebekah Brooks, a trusted protégé of Lord Voldemort, is now free to resume her career as a Death Eater. The flame haired high flyer* punched the air in the dock, hugged her lawyers and fellow defendants and then left on a broom stick.

* I didn't make up that bit, it's straight from the Evening Standard article, so I just wrote the article to match what the journalist was thinking about.
