Reseña del libro "Beyond Contempt: The Inside Story of the Phone Hacking Trial (en Inglés)"
A factual account of the trial of British newspaper journalists for phone hacking, corruption of officials and conspiracy to pervert the course of justice. Among the accused were the former News of the World editors Rebekah Brooks and Andy Coulson. This book covers every twist and turn of the case, which was heard in London in 2013 and 2014.Blow by blow: Crown v Rebekah Brooks & OthersPeter Jukes, an award-winning TV crime writer, starts at the beginning. In October 2013, an eight-month trial starts at the most famous court complex in London, the Old Bailey. It's a showdown that pits tabloid newspaper executives from Rupert Murdoch's News International against the British state. The journalists are accused of phone hacking, corrupting public officials and conspiracy to pervert the course of justice. After years of cover up involving News International, the Metropolitan Police and the Government, the judge tells the jury: "British justice is on trial".Insight into British journalism and politicsAfter tweeting the first few days, Peter Jukes, the author accidentally becomes the UK's first crowd-funded journalist. New media exposes the old as the trial lays bare the venality and surveillance of the News of the World: its ability to pry into the lives of anyone who matters, at any moment. A Hollywood actress. A missing girl. A Cabinet minister. It's also a battle.Battle of wits between London's top lawyersWith Rupert Murdoch's millions, seven defendants hire London's top QCs. Rebekah Brooks has the £5,000-a-day silk for corporations, Jonathan Laidlaw. Several times the multimillion pound cases totters on the brink of collapse. Drawing on verbatim court exchanges and exhibits, Jukes reveals the daily reality and grand strategies of a major criminal trial. He gives the secret of Rebekah Brooks' 14 days in the witness box. He explains why during a cigarette break a defense lawyer gave him a wry smile. And he discloses the failings of the Crown Prosecution Service which contribute to the (to some) shocking verdicts.Table of ContentsPreface: The Untold Story 6Charges 12Legal Teams 17Not War and Peace 18Passion and Prejudice 31Sex, Lies and Voicemails 48Demolition Job 62Mistrial of the Century 74I’ll Be the Judge of That 84Hostile Witness 97The Office Cat 112Interlude: The Trial that Might Have Been 128Holding Court 136Rogue Male 158Commedia Dell’Arte 166Last Man Standing 184Route to Verdict 197Back in the Box 206Truth’s Boots 221Acknowledgements 238Index 240Supporters 249Reviews 253About 255
