Former News International chief executive Rebekah Brooks leaves the Old Bailey Courthouse in London
Former News International chief executive Rebekah Brooks leaves the Old Bailey Courthouse in London October 31, 2013. Rebekah Brooks and Andy Coulson, two former editors of Rupert Murdoch's now defunct News of the World tabloid, were having an affair at the time their reporters are accused of hacking into phones, a court heard on Thursday. Prosecutor Andrew Edis said the intimacy of their relationship indicated each knew as much as the other about how their reporters were operating.
