Andy Coulson Perjury Trial Continues

Coverage here from the BBC of Andy Coulson’s perjury trial. Today the jury heard from James Weatherup, a former editor,  at the now shuttered paper News of the World that phone hacking was standard procedure. Mr. Coulson, a former News of the World editor, is charged with lying at the 2010 trial of Tommy Sheridan. Mr. Sheridan had successfully sued NotW for defamation in 2006. Mr. Coulson was convicted of phone hacking last year.   (One really needs a program to follow the ins and outs of the litigation here).
