Arguing that the teenager who raped and murdered Alesha MacPhail should not be named, his lawyer says there has been credible intelligence of a threat to his client.
TBF it's the editorial team i'd look to. I know people who've been interviewed by the Sun and they write the article they want, not what you thought you'd said nor the article they assured you they'd be writing.
As to whether she was paid, on first reading it did NOT mention that she wasn't paid, which implies she was, but i can't get it to load now (probably due to traffic, the editor will be rubbing his greasy palms together in glee) and it's not unknown for them to "accidentally on purpose" leave that info off for a few hours either. If it's in print tomorrow they're more likely to state if she wasn't paid on the actual paper.
Can I ask why it takes 4 weeks to pass a sentence? Does the judge really need that long to decide?
I mentioned 4 weeks because that will be the time whenhe gets sentenced, so it would fit in with him getting named too.

Oh yes sorry, that's what I mean. I'm talking about his overall sentencing. I'm not sure why it takes a month.
It’s for background reports on the accused.

The Sun seemed to have found them out in about a day.

Obviously just joking but yeah I understand, just seems a little long.

Those aren’t confirmed as fact, it’s also about gauging risk of reoffending. They use social workers etc they will look into his past plus interview him and try and get a clear picture before sentencing. Hopefully in this case it will help get an extremely long sentence.
