Phone hacking trial: Andy Coulson 'urged silence on hacking'
An ex-News of the World journalist was told by editor Andy Coulson he would get his job back if he "kept silent" about the extent of phone hacking at the paper, the Old Bailey has heard.
Former royal editor Clive Goodman told the court the promise was made after his arrest for phone hacking in 2006....
As his evidence ended, Mr Goodman said he had felt "some pain" in giving evidence about his former editor. ...
Mr Goodman said he now harboured no ill feeling towards Mr Coulson.
