Rebekah Brooks's husband Charlie, from Oxfordshire, was capable of drinking a bottle of Fairy Liquid but not of perverting the course of justice, jurors in the hacking trialwere told.

The racehorse trainer (pictured, Reuters) admitted his "foolish" behaviour in stashing lesbian porn DVDs and computer equipment in the underground car park of his London flat while his wife was under arrest.

But the 51-year-old denies perverting the course of justice with his wife and News International security chief Mark Hanna in July 2011.
