Nic & The Snapper: The Saga Continues. And Continues, And Continues…

Remember when Nicole went to court with the paparazzo, saying he frightened her, and at the same time, the paparazzo went to court with the Sydney Morning Herald, saying they defamed him?

Well, wouldn’t you know it, The Trial Continues™!

And, we’re still more or less confused as to who is suing/paying/sooking at whom.

In her judgment, Justice Simpson said she was satisfied the photographer had placed a listening device under the water meter outside Kidman’s home.

But Fawcett told journalists he was disappointed that she had come to that decision.

“I don’t believe it is supported by the evidence,” he said, noting that NSW police had dropped the case against him.

Fawcett said he did not regret taking the defamation action, but he was “already hurting financially”.

The judge has ordered that he pay the legal costs of Fairfax, which will run into six figures.

We’d say “The Trial Continues” again, but it wouldn’t be entirely true. Suffice to say Fawcett plans to appeal the decision, and then once again we can all be safe in the knowledge that we can use the term “The Trial Continues” once more, and all breathe a sigh of relief.
