BookWorm discussed the hacking case, most of which we know. The evidence of Gavin Burrows used as a confession was cut and pasted and signed electronically falsely, and related to a different case involving NOW and Sunday People. Gavin Burrows was ill at the time of signing and couldn't have signed it. Another journalist was involved and we don't have any answers yet as to who fabricated the evidence.
The other claimants in the ANL case, Elton, Liz etc have all kept quiet but the Stoat blundered in and made everything worse. He lied and said that he'd only just found out the details of the phone hacking as the Palace kept it from him. If one of the claimants is lying in a case, this is bad news.
Details of the phone hacking were all over the news for years and some date back to 1993, so no way can the Stoat have been in the dark or the Palace have hidden it from him. It's just lie after lie. BookWorm believes that the judge will allow the case to go ahead, and maybe ask ANL to print a tiny apology on page 2 or 3.
Where is the Stoat? Back in the US? He stayed away from the RF, allegedly. Will he be allowed to freely leave the UK and enter the US after his drug admissions, or is he getting special treatment?
