Rebekah Brooks
Anyone following this court case?
I'm no expert, but she seems to be digging herself into a pretty deep hole at the moment.
Be interesting to see how this one turns out.
I wonder if they will call Grant Mitchell in to "sort it out"?

Her claim yesterday that she didn't know phone hacking was illegal was utterly pathetic.
I think on balance though she'll only get a slap on the wrist.....as Dunk said.... friends in high places and all that!

I gave up at the start when she was whingeing about how mixed up & sad her personal life was.Pathetic ,selfish attempt at going for the sympathy vote.
She will get off very lightly if she does not implicate any of her 'friends'.
Another example of someone at the top of a company or organisation taking all the benefits,plaudits & advantages of that position but completely denying any responsibility when it goes wrong.

I'd argue she's intentionally going for that "look". Afterall -turning out all dressed immaculately with a defiant pose wouldn't go down well with the public. She's intelligent enough to know that many people feed off other's suffering - it was the NOTW's business model.
Sure and with the threat of jail looming she made sure she became a mother.
Apparently she was a good boss to work for, but there seems something very carefully constructed about her to me. Plus she seems to have been able to give powerful men - such as Murdoch - enduring semis for her.

I apologise, he's Holding Back the Years much better than RB.
She reminds me a bit in the larger photo of Queen Mary:

The network is largely at fault here as well as very few folk knew about the standard PIN code in the early days.
Had they been using some tech to somehow crack the PIN code I could have accepted as hacking.
I'm surprised there hasn't been more debate over whether their action was hacking, accessing voicemail because the owner hasn't bothered to change the network standard PIN code is almost an admission that the owner doesn't want to protect their voicemail.

They still accessed peoples devices without their consent, that's as good as hacking.

It's more a charge of unlawful access of personal information rather than hacking.
If a patient was able to read a page of someone else's records in a doctors surgery because the doctor hadn't closed the file would that be hacking?
Hacking to me suggests a level of intelligence to access the information - whereas what happened here was a mix of incompetence on the part of the network and ignorance on the part of the users.
