[QUOTE]Former News Of The World editor Rebekah Brooks has been acquitted but Andy Coulson has been convicted over phone-hacking offences and illegal payments to officials.

Brooks and Coulson had been on trial with five others, including Brooks's husband Charlie, at London's Old Bailey central criminal court.

They had all denied the charges, which arose from revelations in July 2011 the British newspaper had hacked the mobile phone voicemails of a teenage girl who was later found murdered.

The aftermath forced Australian-born media mogul Rupert Murdoch to shut down the newspaper in disgrace after 168 years in print.

More to come.[/QUOTE]

I know very little about this whole shitstorm, but why was Brooks acquitted? Happy as I am that [I]someone[/I] is getting prosecuted, I get the feeling that her hands are far from clean.

She should of been found guilty, she knew well about the phone hacking.
