Witness – William Geddes (MD of ICP – International Corporate Protection)
	Prosecution Counsel questions William Geddes
		Bryant Heron, for the crown, calls William Geddes, MD of ICP – International Corporate Protection – firm employed by Hanna
		Geddes has some documentary exhibits attached to his statement.
		Geddes explains that his security company provides protection and support for execs in hostile environments or at risk
		Geddes confirms ICP was employed by NI in 2011 to provide “protective surveillance for Mrs Brooks” – Operation Blackhawk
		Geddes said he had an existing relationship with both News International and Mr Mark Hanna
		Geddes says he was to provide a discreet security service, detecting other surveillance by the media or hostile members of the public
		Geddes said he was contracted mid June 2011 (three weeks before Milly Dowler story broke); Geddes contacted Coruna Solutions.
		Coruna were regularly contracted by Geddes at ICP. Mick Donovan is Geddes assistant at ICP.
		Dave Johnson and Anthony Cox were Geddes main contacts at Coruna solutions.
		Coruna engaged a number of people in this project: Paul Lennon, Daryl Jorsling, Leon White and Paul Daly
		Daryl Jorsling was also known as ‘Del’, Geddes confirms to Bryant Heron.
		Geddes explains how protective coverage works – 24 hours, from a discreet distance, to check out for ‘hostile reconnaissance’ on principal
		Geddes explains they worked on the twelve hour shift system
		Mr Johnson and Mr Cox would organise the shift system for this ICP project
		Geddes confirms that Gary Keegan and Paul Edwards were the Brooks’ drivers. The team would keep in contact with drivers.
		Geddes only contacted the drivers when he was ‘in close proximity’: information about the Brooks’ movements came from the drivers
		Focusing on the events of 16th-17th of July 2011, the weekend Brooks was arrested, Bryant Heron asks Geddes what he was doing on 16th
		Geddes said he provided support for the team directly in Oxfordshire on the night of 16/07/11. He and Paul Lennon were at gate at Enstone
		Second ICP team led by Mick Donovan were at Brooks’ Jubilee Barn premises that same night.
		Geddes explains that on his arrival at Enstone Manor Farm on the Saturday evening around 6pm he went to meet Mark Hanna, head of NI security
		Geddes says Hanna walked him around external perimeter of Enstone Manor Farm – he doesn’t know if Hanna stayed all night. Geddes did
		Early morning around 7 am on 17/07/11 a relief team of Dave Johnson and Daryl Jorsling took over from Geddes and Lennon
		Geddes is asked about the ‘Blackhawk 1’ phone – an operational phone carried by each team for principals to contact, and with a central log
		The Blackhawk phones would be handed to each shift team as they took over
		Geddes can’t help with the driving of Rebekah Brooks to Lewisham police station: team had to ‘scramble’ quickly to relocate to London
		Geddes was aware of Mrs and Mrs Brooks and the homeowner at Enstone Manor Farm, but nothing else, he tells Jury
		Geddes describes owner of Enstone Manor Farm as “middle Eastern gentleman… specialising in IVF treatment”
		Geddes say Hanna on the morning of 17th at front gate just as his shift was ending, around 7 am
		William Geddes, head of ICP, met Lee Sandell at Enstone – he was with Mr Hanna. Can’t recall if morning or evening
	Counsel for Charlie Brooks cross examines William Geddes
		Saunders, counsel for Charlie Brooks, cross examines Geddes.
		Geddes agrees he knows Charlie Brooks
		Geddes agrees that advance notice of movements were useful. They would try to have an ‘advance car’ and a ‘follow car’ for them
		Saunder for C Brooks, asks what the concern was: Geddes explains tradition to get ahead to make sure not driving into a problem
		Geddes agrees the threats were from other media and possible hostile members of the public
		Saunders, counsel for C Brooks, goes over the schedule shown previously with witness William Geddes, corporate security boss of ICP
		NB – there are TWO Saunders in this trial. Justice John Saunders, and Neil Saunders, counsel for Charlie Brooks
		Saunders for C Brooks, focuses on the moment on the Sunday Brooks returns from bins empty handed. Two texts messages send to Geddes then
		Saunders for C Brooks, say he’s “trying to piece together what’s going on” and refers to a document Geddes gave to the police.
		Geddes agrees he transcribed his texts from his handset into a ‘text transcript’ for the police.
		In his transcript Geddes added the times of his texts. The jury is shown a page of his transcripts.
		Jury shown Geddes’ text transcript: CB texts from garage “NEED MY CAR KEYS”
		Geddes replies ” MARK IS DRIVING TO YOU… then ‘Have you decided where you’ll be staying tonight, sir?” Brooks “Flat as far as I know…”
		Geddes replies by text to Charlie Brooks that if he’s not staying in London “could you let me know at your earliest convenience.”
		Saunders for C Brooks asks Geddes about his and Hanna’s contact with the phone designated ‘Blackhawk 1’
		Apparently the CCTV footage from Chelsea flat is already available from BBC
		The Blackhawk 1 phone was with Johnson which texts “Lewisham complete” around noon – i.e. Brooks has arrived at police station
		Saunders, counsel for Charlie Brooks, asks Geddes about a text he sent to Blackhawk1 around 12.23 – minutes after R Brooks arrested
		Geddes says he was unaware that Brooks was going to Lewisham police station “until much later in that day”
		A text from Blackhawk 1 to Geddes “Paul was told about the station by p2”: i.e. probably Edwards informed by principle two – C Brooks.
		“He assumed we knew” texts Blackhawk1 to Geddes about the police station visit. Geddes replies “Paul is a twat”
		Geddes agrees he wouldn’t have called Paul Lennon a twat – so it’s probably the driver Paul Edwards referred to
		Geddes agrees had infrequent contact with Charlie Brooks, but he spoke to him rather than Rebekah.
		Saunders for Charlie Brooks refers back to his text saying staying in London seems more “logical” for night stay
		Geddes asks politely for advance notice from Brooks “only to ensure we have coverage at right place”
		“Because everyone was up in Oxon, the plan was to bring everyone down to London,” explains Geddes about Brooks’ security that Sunday
		Geddes text to C Brooks at 19:10 explains how he will be covering Rebekah on the Monday and her Tuesday DCMS appearance
		Geddes asks Charlie if he will be accompanying his wife Mon 18th, and says he’ll need all the names of those going to Parliament on Tuesday
		Geddes confirms he provided security in a ‘physical sense’ for the next two days for Mr and Mrs Brooks
		Break till 2pm
		After a brief disconnected admin matter the jury are back in at the #hackingtrial. William Geddes now cross examined by Hanna’s counsel
	Counsel for Mark Hanna cross examines William Geddes
		William Clegg, counsel for Hanna, introduces some maps that show the location of Enstone Park in relation to Brooks’ home at Jubilee Barn
		Clegg counsel for Hanna also show the location of the telephone masts which provide the ‘cell-site’ information mobile phone tracking
		Counsel for Hanna shows the logical route to drive from Enstone Farm to Jubilee Barn – past Chipping Norton
		Laidlaw for Brooks wants to raise a matter. Jury leave for a minute
		Back with Clegg’s cross examination of Geddes on behalf of his client Mark Hanna, former head of security at NI.
		Clegg explains “I work for Mark Hanna who sits behind me in the dock…. someone you’ve worked with… since 2004/5…”
		Geddes confirms he worked with Hanna when he was employed with Nomura bank – his role prior to News International.
		Geddes describes Hanna as a “consummate professional…” Someone who he trusted and felt confident working with.
		Clegg asks Geddes to cast his mind back to April 2011: a short surveillance operation providing protection for Brooks. Clegg suggest 20/04
		Geddes provided short notice protection for Brooks: Clegg produces an email from 20/04/11
		Geddes cannot recollect if the protection for Brooks was 24hrs a day in April 2011
		Geddes confirms he visited Brooks’ Thames Quay Chelsea Harbour flat for purposes of security in April 2011
		As part of the April 2011 survey Geddes noted the CCTV coverage of entrances and exits at Brooks’ London flat and underground carpark
		Geddes and Hanna made a point of locating the CCTV coverage in the underground car park (several months before the arrest of Brooks)
		Clegg for Hanna suggests April protection lasted only 48 hrs. He shows Geddes from International Corporate Security email to that effect
		Geddes confirms he was contacted in June 2011 to provide protection for Brooks and two other NI execs
		Geddes agrees the ‘risk’ was of media intrusion as well as physical from members of the public “who had designs on them”
		The other execs were Sparrowhawk and Kestrel – previous evidence suggests Simon Greenberg and Will Lewis
		Geddes says there were a number of operators within his team, who would move around accordingly, under leadership of Cox and Johnson
		Security wasn’t just static, but mobile aswell, with two security vehicles – one advance car, one in a follow position
		Clegg, counsel for Hanna, asks Geddes if there was any kind of ‘discretion’?
		Geddes confirms there were complaints from Mr and Mrs Brooks that they couldn’t see the security.
		For the rest of the protection, the aim was to be as ‘discreet’ and invisible as possible.
		Geddes provided a regular counter surveillance log. In the build up to 17/07/11 “high press interest at all locations” the report said.
		Geddes report says he reduced to a minimum Brooks’ exposure through decoy vehicles and using different entries and exits
		Clegg refers to an incident of a photographer on a motorbike being foiled from snapping Brooks on a trip to the office
		Geddes cannot recall when his team informed him of the Enstone location for weekend of 16- 17/07/11
		Geddes confirms Enstone was a large property with large grounds, with a pond, a public footpath to rear of property.
		Geddes can’t recollect if the Brooks’ moved to Enstone on the Friday 15th: he wasn’t aware they arrived in two vehicles.
		Geddes recalls seeing a range rover as part of Brooks’ transport
		Geddes agrees Hanna was already at Enstone when he arrived on the Saturday.
		Geddes says there was a large gathering on Saturday night – quite a few vehicles. Clegg says about 17 guests the night before Brooks arrest
		A man called Jevan installed electronic security for that time in Enstone.
		Overnight about six security guards Clegg suggests at Enstone. Blackhawk 2 was based at Brooks’ home at Jubilee Barn – two people
		Geddes recalls Hanna had a volvo, the Brooks’ a Range Rover
		Geddes recalls Hanna doing a foot patrol when it got dark at Enstone
		Geddes confirms that, by the next morning, Sunday 17th, he and Hanna were very tired
		Geddes says one of the team were dispatched to get eggs and bread from a local shop near Enstone
		“The time when errands are requested….. depends on there being sufficient of the principal,” says Geddes of milk run for the Brooks’
		Clegg suggest Mrs Brooks’ mother arrived to join for family breakfast.
		Geddes can’t recall – he left Enstone around 7 am that Sunday morning
		Geddes agrees he probably said something like “I’m getting too old for staying up all night”
		Geddes says he was called by David Johnson for the address of Kingsley Napley – Brooks’ solicitors in London
		Geddes says this would have been the first he knew about the Brooks’ trip to solicitors
		“Generally it was from the driver we received the itinerary,” says Geddes. A 9.41 he had no idea the Brooks were going to Police Station
		Geddes agrees he doubts Hanna knew about imminent trip to Lewisham Police station either, or would have told him
		Geddes thinks the Brooks’ travelled with their driver, rather than in the Range Rover – he thinks Hanna was going to drive that to London
		Clegg, counsel for Hanna, draws attention to various phone calls at 10 am which Geddes can’t remember
		Geddes had been up for 24 hours: “you didn’t get much uninterrupted sleep the next day” points out Clegg
		Geddes agrees “you were all flying blind” that day in terms of the Brooks’ movements.
		Geddes reports back about ‘Ratz”= paparrazi: “All over sky news but no reports back of which station” over Brooks’ arrest
		Geddes replies to Blackhawk 1 “am shattered” by about 7pm that Sunday evening: last contact that 17th July Brooks was arrested
		Clegg says there was a Pret a Manger on ground floor of TMS – Geddes met Hanna there on the Monday to discuss Brooks DCMS appearance
		Geddes had a very interrupted lunch that Monday: Charlie Brooks complained some property had gone missing – they were looking for it
		That Monday 18/07/11 Geddes confirmed security team had property Charlie Brooks wanted back: lots of calls to find out where it is
		Geddes had understood that C Brooks property had been returned to Chelsea Harbour – Charlie complains “it’s not there” according to Clegg
		Clegg for Hanna goes through the various calls 18/07/11 from Geddes to find out where Charlie Brooks stuff left in Chelsea had gone
		BREAKING: Security operatives called the missing returned Brooks bag ‘Pizzagate” Text: “can you talk ref Pizzagate”: Geddes confirms
		Some discussion about use of military slang by security operatives: “it’s endemic in the lingo used by security operatives,” says Geddes
		Geddes confirms that getting pizza, like milk and eggs, was common practice for security guarding “principals” who want privacy
		Geddes confirms his risk assessment mean there were internal threats from ‘rogue elements’ within News International
		Bryant Heron for the crown re-examines the Pizzagate text at 13:19 to Geddes from Blackhawk1
		Geddes couldn’t say if he was with Hanna at 13:19. He thinks BlackHawk1 would have been Johnson or Cox.
		Geddes says it’s “highly likely” he spoke to Blackhawk1: he didn’t see the ‘Watergate’ reference in Pizzagate.
		Geddes says his operatives “were blowing an inconvenient situation into a bit of a drama”
		Geddes says Hanna wanted to know what happened. They were both trying to get information from the team
		Geddes says Hanna involvement in Pizzagate “was his involvement in the errand”.
		At 17:01 Blackhawk1 texts Geddes: “Filth all over underground carpark over Pizzagate” Geddes confirms this refers to police search
		Geddes says he didn’t know the entire nature of the police incident. “It was most unfortunate,” he says: “the errand going awry.”
Witness – Dave Cutts (Mobile phone network expert witness)
	Prosecution Counsel questions Dave Cutts
		Bryant Heron for the crown calls Dave Cutts, an expert on cell site information.
		Cutts is a senior forensic engineer at the Metropolitan Police Service, with a speciality of mobile phone location.
		Cutts explains to jury the principle of cell-sites. A mobile phone is basically a radio receiver and transceiver communicating with masts
		Cutts explains the call data for any mobile phone gives geographical data for calls or texts incoming or outgoing
		Bryant Heron for the prosecution takes Dave Cutts to columns from the schedule which refer to Maps
		The jury are shown an exhibit of a map related to Carter and Brooks 07/07/11 in Wapping – Thomas More Square outlined in dotted red.
		Meanwhile Cutts explains the packets of data exchanged in and out by the relevant numbers and the postcode of the mast: here E1 or Wapping
		Cutts had done an exercise to explain the location of Brooks and Carter numbers during the days.
		Bryant Heron for the crown refers to another map on 08/07/11 for Thomas More Square – Carter and Brooks both in the area
		Bryant Heron for the prosecution moves onto the period from Brooks’ resignation to her arrest 15th July 11 through the following weekend
		Cutts explore for the jury the cell site information for Enstone Manor Farm and Jubilee Barn and the phone of Charlie Brooks
		Cutt confirms he completed a number of surveys of those two areas in Oxfordship using specialist equipment.
		Cutts says his analysis suggests movement away from Jubilee Barn to the northwest. His equipment detects the local masts.
		Cutts refers to different phone ‘events’ which connect to different masts – giving a sense of movement and timing.
		Cutts explains that mobile masts have three or more directional antennae – so the location of a phone in relation to that mast is clearer
		Since the three or more antennae are directional the maps show the masts as triangles – and show which aspect the call connected
		Back tomorrow at 10 am

Note: All the defendants deny all the charges. The trial continues.
