Court Reporting

If you read a Victorian court report in a news paper of that time you could think it was a copy of the stenographers,not that there was one.
Skynews publishes on it's website the transcript of the London bomb plot on the 21/7.But they are heavily edited.Some parts are "unintelligable".Transcripts are the first thing any defence council use to look for grounds to appeal.And that occurs after the trial and verdict.To publish what is purported to be a transcript implies a verbatim copy of the proceedings.One can assume that people who know the jury,if not the jury themselves will read it,Sky being a well known and used site.This is another nail in the coffin of justice.
