Brenda Leyland. Coroner's Court reconvenes on 20 March 2015.

[Mr Gray]

I agree Davel, but I do feel sorry for her family - especially her estranged son.    If BL deliberately took her own life on his birthday - then IMO that was an incredibly cruel thing for any mother to do to their own son - and one which will probably affect him for the rest of his life.   

An extremely cruel thing to do...now why would she do that?...many posters on here have speculated that kate and Gerry were involved in Maddies death...would it therefore be unfair to speculate similarly about Brenda's family

[Alfred R Jones]

Why?

Why?  I can't believe you really need it spelling out to you.  On the one hand we have a woman who, having had her child snatched from her and then finding herself wrongly accused of her child's disappearance, describes how she felt at the time and her understandable frustration at her accusers in her book of the account, and on the other we have a woman who used twitter to make thousands of posts of contempt, disgust and mockery about a couple who she didn't know and who had absolutely no bearing on her life whatsoever.  She also accused another twitter user of being a prostitute and made fun of her weight and appearance and why?  Because she (mistakenly) believed the woman was one of the witnesseses who made a supportive statement for the McCanns in PdL.  She also revelled in the prospect of this woman losing her job.  So you think the two women's behaviour is equally vile do you?  Well I disagree 100%.

[Lyall]

I feel very sorry for her family and friends who no doubt are now being harassed by some sceptics who want them to pursue this matter and so are bombarding them with their hate filled AntiMcCann bile.    IMO that is the last thing her family would want to do and I truly believe that none of them will want to do anything other than be left alone  to grieve in the normal way -  and in private.     

Do you have any evidence anyone is or has harassed her family and/or friends?

I know some are crazy enough to do so but that's not the same as them actually doing it.

Any evidence of it?

Two Sky News journalists will be called as witnesses at an inquest into the death of an alleged internet troll accused of abusing Madeleine McCann’s parents.

A pre-inquest hearing was told that no one is facing any criminal action over the death of Brenda Leyland, whose body was found in a hotel room after she featured in a Sky News report.

Confirming details of a full inquest due to take place next year, Leicester coroner Catherine Mason said she would hear evidence from Sky News crime correspondent Martin Brunt and its head of newsgathering, Jonathan Levy.

Two police officers, a toxicologist and a doctor are also due to give oral evidence at the one-day hearing on 20 March.

Adjourning the pre-inquest, Mason said she would be presented with written statements from a pathologist and one of Leyland’s sons at the next hearing.

Sky News was represented by counsel at the pre-inquest, which heard that officers from Leicestershire police have completed their inquiries into the 63-year-old’s death.

Mason told Leicester coroner’s court: “I understand from my officers that, of all the witnesses who I have said that I will call to give oral evidence, there is no nobody to which there is any foreseeability of any criminal action being taken.”

The body of Leyland was discovered at the Marriott Hotel in Enderby, Leicester, in October, two days after a Sky News report exposing internet “trolling” of Kate and Gerry McCann.

Leyland, from Burton Overy, Leicestershire, is reported to have posted thousands of messages on Twitter attacking the McCanns, whose daughter Madeleine disappeared in Portugal in 2007.

Some people will be so disappointed

Let us wait the coroner's report........

And remember, sky's lawyers were at the first inquest hearing.

If they have nothing to worry about, why were they there ?

That isn't what the coroner said.

So The Leicester Mercury reported:
She said: “I understand from my officers that of all of the witnesses to be called to give oral evidence there is nobody who will have any criminal action taken against them.”
The Telegraph reported:Mrs Mason told Leicester Coroner's Court: "I understand from my officers that, of all the witnesses who I have said that I will call to give oral evidence, there is no nobody to which there is any foreseeability of any criminal action being taken."

Two posters have highlighted: "no one is facing any criminal action over the death of Brenda Leyland".
OK lets play spot the difference.
Not, you understand, that I am saying anything other than there is enough of a variance to present a quite different picture.

It is interesting that Sky News should choose to be represented by counsel in a coroners court

The commission of any crime requires both of two elements: guilty conduct and guilty intent.

The absence of either element means no crime has been committed.

For Brunt to face criminal charges it would have to be shown that Brunt asked the questions he did with intent to an end result of the termination of Brenda Leyland's life.

Mission impossible, I would say ...

Looks like you and Charon have trouble reading and comprehending.
Play spot the difference between Charon's two posts above.

the coroner said no one would be facing criminal charges...stop trying to pretend she said anything different

[Alfred R Jones]

Not only that but that the police investigation had been concluded.

These "sceptics" believe what they want to believe, fantasists.

[stephen25000]

So again, why were lawyers for sky news at the inquest ?
