Rebekah Brooks embodied the power: The qualified Boulevard reporter, longtime editor of the tabloids “The Sun” and “News of the World” (“NoW”), as last British governor of the global Murdoch media empire has not the weal and woe of crime victims, celebrities, recently co-decided by politicians.

In friendly conversation with her own lawyer, soon also in the cross-examination of the prosecutor, the depth Turned fighting for their freedom by any means that is available to it: you caresses the Judge John Saunders and the twelve jurors, promotes understanding, breaks sometimes even in tears and asks for a break in negotiations. And in between she throws the breathless listening former colleagues to treat, let those be the day after dispute nice headlines.
