There only has to be a majority. The judge will not direct the jury one way or the other - he will give them directions in terms of the law and may highlight certain parts of the evidence, but should not be influencing the jury one way or another; the facts are strictly a matter for the jury to decide.

Again, all that's ever needed is a simply majority, and that's either a conviction, with at least 8 for guilty, or an acquittal, with less than 8 for a guilty verdict.

do you think people could hate a paper that much for it to sway them in a jury?

simply NOT reading it would do most people

This is the paper who (im)famously published the page one lead headline:
I SAW COUPLES INJECTING REEFERS

They have never changed and I suspect that most people with anything at all between their ears, would suspect them of anything.

I see Mr Coulson has been in court and Mr Sherridan has been asking questions. Did Mr Sherridan ask any awkward questions about editorial policy at the News of the World? Wouldn't it be ironic if someone was forced to commit perjury in order to defend their position. :twisted:

I'm no legal expert, but isn't debating the guilt of someone who is currently on trial considered contempt of court?

No.

I was talking about the basic premise of the whole topic, not just your post - I think I'd be quite legally sound if I said that Andy Coulson and all at the NotW are hateful pricks who prey on those who are too vulnerable and/or stupid to fight against them.
