Rupert, and indeed James, Murdoch may have edged a step closer to facing criminal trial themselves, though there remain considerable barriers before such a remarkable event could come about.

corporation, which in turn could potentially lead to the prosecution of
members of the UK company's former board of directors, potentially
including Rupert and James Murdoch.
