Phoebe Bridgers appeared in court yesterday (August 12) in an ongoing defamation lawsuit and the judge in the case appears to be leaning towards throwing the case out.The lawsuit was filed against Bridgers by the producer Chris Nelson last year. It came about following an October 2020 social media post in which Bridgers directed her followers on Instagram to a thread written by her friend Emily Bannon, which Nelson has claimed was defamatory.Nelson subsequently sued the singer for defamation and is currently seeking $3.8million (£2.8million) in damages.
News Channels Allowed to Air U.K. Court Judges’ Sentencing Remarks After BBC, ITN, Sky Campaign
27.07.2022 - 18:37 / variety.com
Naman Ramachandran Broadcast news channels will be able to air judges’ sentencing remarks from the U.K. Crown Court for the first time from July 28, following a landmark change in the law. The move will allow the public to see and hear judges explain the reasoning behind their sentences, and will open up some of the best-known courts across the U.K., including the Central Criminal Court, which is more commonly known as the Old Bailey.
Only the judge will be filmed during any sentencing that is broadcast, in order to protect the privacy of victims, witnesses and jurors. The sentencing at the Old Bailey on July 28 of Ben Oliver, who pleaded guilty to the manslaughter of his grandfather in south London, is expected to be the first broadcasted case.
The decision to allow cameras in comes after more than a decade of campaigning by the BBC, ITN and Sky, who were involved in a successful pilot that allowed not-for-broadcast sentencing remarks to be filmed in eight Crown Court sites.Previously, proceedings were only broadcast from some Court of Appeal cases. The contract has now been extended to the Crown Court.
Sky, BBC, ITN and Press Association are now able to apply to film and broadcast sentencing remarks, with the judge deciding whether to grant the request.Deputy Prime Minister, Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice, Dominic Raab said: “Opening up the courtroom to cameras to film the sentencing of some the country’s most serious offenders will improve transparency and reinforce confidence in the justice system. The public will now be able to see justice handed down, helping them understand better the complex decisions judges make.”The decision has also been welcomed by the broadcasters.
