Or Maybe Not?

The BBC has been left red-faced by a court reporting error after the corporation broadcast the wrong verdict from the Harry Redknapp trial.  The public broadcaster’s flagship News 24 channel told viewers that the Tottenham Hotspur manager had been found guilty of one count of tax evasion, but the jury at Southwark Crown Court had in fact found him not guilty of two counts of cheating the public revenue after a 13-day trial in which he was accused of evading around £80 000 of tax on a “transfer bung” of £187 000.

Oops.
