A local newspaper reporter has taken to Twitter to live-tweet an application he says is for the press to be barred from the courtroom. Gareth Davies, chief reporter of the Croydon Advertiser tweeted that the defence made a submission for the journalist to be "excluded from being in court on request of a witness". He tweeted that he was told the defence claim was because his "heavy reporting" had intimidated a witness who "feels 'persecuted'" by coverage of the defendant.
