Bit of a mega bump but Andy Coulson has been cleared of committing perjury during the previous perjury trial not because he didn't lie but because the PF couldn't prove his lies had an effect on the case.
Confused? Me as well but on the bright side Mr Sheridan is going absolutely tonto with rage right now.

Former News of the World editor Andy Coulson has been cleared of committing perjury while giving evidence in the 2010 trial of ex-MSP Tommy Sheridan.
The Crown alleged that Mr Coulson, 47, lied about his knowledge of phone hacking at the now-defunct tabloid.
The case against him collapsed after his defence team successfully argued there was no case to answer.
Judge Lord Burns ruled the Crown had not shown Mr Coulson's evidence was relevant in the Sheridan trial.
