I'm sorry to drag this thread down but....
looking at the link to the Daily Echo site, I cannot but help feel theres something fundamentally wrong in publishing a minute by minute account of the Coroners Court like that.
It just feels intrinsically disrespectful to me: its turning a serious issue, the investigation into a mans death, into a media circus masquerading as a public entertainment charade.
I've nothing against the facts being presented, but is a minute by minute "hot press" style of reporting appropriate to a case like this? I don't think so.

I have to say I don't know any of the people involved so I hope I'm not treading on any sensitivities, but to me the method of reporting, from the point of simple common decency, seems basically unsavoury.
