The Prosecution Case continues | ||
Back at the Old Bailey | ||
Back in Court 12 for the #hackingtrial – today the jury will have no live witnesses, but go through a timeline with written evidence | ||
There’s a problem with the sound today – so Bryant Heron for the prosecution sounds like a Dalek. He’s going through Mulcaire’s notebooks | ||
Timeline – Delia Smith | ||
Giving evidence – Operation Weeting Detective DC Oskiewicz | ||
Edis is back on his feet and is calling a Weeting Detective to look at the Delia Smith timeline of phone hacking | ||
A page of Mulcaire’s notes has addresses for Delia Smith and Wynn Jones. | ||
The Weeting Detective confirms a number of pages with extensive personal details for the Bruno family | ||
The Bruno family were friends with Delia Smith | ||
There’s an email chain from Thurlbeck to Coulson about the tactics for covering the Delia Smith | ||
There are three stories in NOTW following up the Delia Smith ‘incident in Norwich’ | ||
The Mulcaire notes have extensive details for Wynne Jones – including an entry for Hospital 08/05/05 Greg Miskiw tasking | ||
Phone records are cross referenced between Mulcaire and Miskiw. Mulcaire then calls a variety of hospitals near Norwich | ||
Mulcaire then calls Lucy Crabbe’s number – a former colleague and chef of Delia Smith 09/05/05 | ||
Calls from Mulcaire to Ian Christmas – who has a number very similar to Delia Smith. | ||
06/04/05 a email from Neville Thurlbeck continuing to make inquiries about her | ||
Mulcaire emails Thurlbeck with an invoice for background checks on Delia Smith – Ian Edmondson is also included in the email chain | ||
There are undated Mulcaire notebook entries: Delia Smith and her husband have made witness statements on these | ||
Delia Smith recognises her married name from the notes, two mobile phone numbers, her address. | ||
Mr Wynne Jones – her husband – recognises the password to his phone on the Mulcaire notes. | ||
Wynne Jones’ witness statement also confirms his address and old phone mobile numbers, DOB, and PIN number. His other name also appears | ||
Delia Smith recognises the names of Pierre Bruno’s family on another set of Mulcaire’s notes | ||
Delia Smith‘s written statement recognises the name of Lucy Crabbe, and the numbers of her agent and a personal assistant | ||
Counsel for Rebekah Brooks cross examines Detect Oskiewicz | ||
Detect Oskiewicz is cross examined by Mr Laidlaw for Brooks. He goes back to an email reference to a ‘Rebecca’ – not Brooks he alleges | ||
Counsel for Andy Coulson cross examines Detect Oskiewicz | ||
Mr Langdale counsel for Coulson asks if this relates to Rebecca Loos. The Weeting DC can’t confirm this | ||
Langdale asks if there’s any evidence Mulcaire actually accessed voice mail messages. DC says there’s call data evidence | ||
There are no transcripts or recordings to suggest Delia Smith and associates were successfully hacked | ||
Timeline – Eunice Huthart (Angelina Jolie’s body double) | ||
Giving evidence – Operation Weeting Detective DC Hargreaves | ||
Edis calls DC Hargreaves from Weeting for the timeline of Eunice Huthart (Angelina Jolie’s body double) | ||
Edis reads Huthart’s statement to explain who she is to the jury. A former Gladiators star and then a stunt woman in various movies | ||
Huthart has been a stunt double for Hollywood stars, including Jolie. She was working in LA with Jolie and Brad Pitt | ||
Huthart says she had a PIN code, but it didn’t work every time she tried to used it. She often complained to vodaphone | ||
Huthart confirms a Mulcaire handwritten entry: 06/07/05 she was filming Mr and Mrs Jones in LA | ||
Mulcaire’s notes contain her ex-directory landline. Huthart was sharing a house with Angelina Jolie during the filming | ||
Huthart recognises a Vodaphone PIN, and her direct dial messaging number. Its a ‘Nev’ tasking | ||
10/07/05 NOTW article about Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. 17/07 another about her child. Another in August. 25/09 another | ||
Three more articles the following year. Edis goes through the call data between Mulcaire and Thurlbeck. | ||
24/02/06 Another Mulcaire call to Huthart’s phone and then to NOTW, followed by an article. | ||
There are four undated Mulcaire pages relating to Huthart, redacted by police to hide personal numbers | ||
Huthart identifies six entries on Mulcaire’s notes: her name, number, acc no, direct dial numbers, and a reset PIN | ||
Huthart recognises more details from another Mulcaire page and then a ‘target evaluation list’ of 16 people including Huthart. | ||
Edis reads admissions or ‘agreed facts’ on the Huthart timeline | ||
Huthart was working on Mr and Mrs Smith when Pitt and Jolie first started their relationship | ||
Timeline – Wayne Rooney, Patricia Tierney and Laura Rooney | ||
Giving evidence – Operation Weeting Detective DC Corinne Young | ||
DC Corinne Young is called to give evidence on the Laura Rooney timeline – no relative of Wayne but assumed to be so | ||
Laura Rooney was a beauty consult with no connection to Wayne. Agreed facts she was hacked 4 times by Mulcaire | ||
A new timeline on Wayne and Laura Rooney is given to the jury at #hackingtrial | ||
There are six articles from the Sun about Wayne Rooney, one concerning his suggested use of prostitutes 04-05 | ||
Edis takes DC Young to a Mulcaire notebook entry late August early September 2005, though the DC can’t remember how | ||
Statement from Patricia Tierney who received a lot of attention for an untrue incident at a massage parlour in Liverpool | ||
Patricia Tierney says she warned Rooney not to come to massage parlour because his life would be ‘destroyed’ | ||
Mulcaire has ‘Sun’ notation, £250 and entries for both Patricia Tierney and Wayne Rooney. | ||
26/08 shows contact between Weatherup and Edmondson and Mulcaire. Then the timeline breaks off until 18th Jan next year | ||
Mulcaire starts investigating Laura Rooney according to the timeline 18/01/06. | ||
Mulcaire’s notebook has various personal details for Laura Rooney including mother’s maiden name | ||
Another Mulcaire entry shows Wayne Rooney‘s mother’s name and her address. | ||
Edmondson and Mulcaire make contact. Mulcaire then calls Miskiw. And then call data that he calls Laura Rooney | ||
Mulcaire calls Laura Rooney’s Unique Voicemail Number, and so does someone at News International | ||
There was no NOTW article (obviously) about Laura Rooney | ||
10th and 11th May 2006 – various conversations between Mulcaire and Edmondson. 27th of July notebook entries mention Greg and Ian | ||
28/07/06 story in NOTW. More stories about Rooney in both NOTW and the Sun. Mulcaire notes show continued interest in the footballer | ||
Edis for prosecution reads Laura Rooney’s statement on Mulcaire notes 18/01/06 she was working in Harrods at the time | ||
Laura Rooney recognises two of the numbers in Mulcaire’s notes | ||
Counsel for Rebekah Brooks cross examines DC Corinne Young | ||
Mr Laidlaw, QC, counsel for Brooks goes back over Laura Rooney timeline with DC Corinne Young | ||
Laidlaw suggests the Sun reference in Mulcaire notebook is “puzzling” | ||
Laidlaw notes that there are 8000 pages of Mulcaire notes, some in bound notebooks, other loose pages. | ||
Laidlaw: “Among those 8000 pages this is the only reference to the Sun?” DC Young: “I don’t know that.” | ||
Laidlaw QC: among the top left tasking references in Mulcaire notes, there is no reference to a Sun journalist. “This is an unusual entry” | ||
Laidlaw hones in on the fact the Weeting DC was struggling to explain the confirmation of dates of some Mulcaire entries | ||
26/08 to 01/09 2005 Laidlaw emphasises there is no call data evidence of Mulcaire contact with the Sun, and no evidence of payment to him | ||
Laidlaw points out there is no evidence of a hack here, or an subsequent story in the Sun | ||
Suggestion that Patrizia Tierney was offered £250 by the Sun has no evidence suggests Laidlaw. Confirmation she was offered £30k by NOTW | ||
Laidlaw explains that the 6 Sun articles on Wayne Rooney in Aug 04 and April 05 follows a scoop by the Sunday Mirror on 24/08/04 | ||
The allegations against Rooney ended up in allegations against Patricia Tierney, and had much wider coverage | ||
Laidlaw goes back to that ‘isolated’ Sun entry in Mulcaire’s books. By summer 2005 Tierney was in process of suing the Sun | ||
Laidlaw says Tierney’s libel case against the Sun failed. | ||
Laidlaw claims ‘pretty irrelevant and extraneous material’ has been put on the Laura Rooney timeline. | ||
Laidlaw suggest that Mulcaire might have taken it upon himself to get involved in Tierney during the litigation | ||
Laidlaw suggests Sun article on Rooney was common in other papers, and has nothing to do with NOTW hacking | ||
A break | ||
Further Prosecution evidence | ||
Edis reads in the evidence of Patricia Tierney who recognises the name of her mother, a hospital number (she had health problems) | ||
Tierney recognises her mothers date of birth, and two doctors. She says her mother had various calls from men purporting to be Red Cross | ||
Tierney claims a reporter from NOTW offered her 30k but she refused | ||
Edis confirms this is the only Mulcaire note with Sun in top left of the page and £250. Tierney says another magazine offered her that | ||
Tierney recognises the name of both her ex and current husband in the Mulcaire notes | ||
Tierney was also shown a document from Mulcaire’s computer and recognised her name. That concludes the Wayne Rooney timeline | ||
Timeline – Tessa Jowell and David Mills | ||
Giving evidence – Operation Weeting Detective DC DC Ryall | ||
Bryant Heron for prosecution now goes through Tessa Jowell and David Mills time. Jowell was culture and Olympics minister married to Mills | ||
In 2006, Mulcaire accessed Jowell phone and police retrieved a recording from her phone. Mulcaire accessed it 19 times in first half 2006 | ||
Bryant Heron calls an operation Weeting detective to go over the Jowell/Mills timeline | ||
Bryant Heron asks DC Ryall, case officer on this timeline, over a log of texts between Sunday Times journalist to Sue Mullins | ||

Timeline – Lord Prescott | ||
Giving evidence – Operation Weeting Detective | ||

Various friends of Temple’s are detailed in Mulcaire’s notebooks. So too were MoS journalists Dennis and Seb Hamilton. | ||
