We have spent a long time at our newspaper following this story as it unfolded since Monday, 29 December 2008. What has interested us the most is the fact he has got the media all over the world interested in it. We would love to know just how many countries have covered this... PS. just to say our photographer snapped a fantastic shot of him as he walked out of the North Sefton Magistrates' Court today!
