Tell us if Rebekah and Andy would still be being chased if they were lawyers who had got involved in phone hacking.
If lawyers who are known to have broken the law over phone hacking are not to be prosecuted then it is not right that journalists should be. Lawyers are not special - despite their belief that they are - and must not be exempted from prosecution. In fact, as they are lawyers, the punishments handed out to them should be at least DOUBLE that handed to non lawyers, when the crime is the same.
