Coulson to be sentenced for phone hacking

Disgraced Downing St spin doctor Andy Coulson will be reunited with former workmates from the News of the World (NotW) this week as they face up to two years in jail for their part in the phone-hacking plot.

Coulson, 46, was found guilty last Tuesday of being involved in the conspiracy to hack the voicemails of a host of celebrities, royals, politicians, and members of the public in the hunt for stories at the now-defunct Sunday tabloid.

His former lover and colleague Rebekah Brooks was cleared of all charges on the 138th day of the marathon trial at the Old Bailey in which four more defendants were also found not guilty.
