Do we not have entrapment rules, I find it hard to believe an 'undercover reporter' is allowed to do this and his 'evidence' used. And why is he not being prosecuted for trying to buy drugs and allowed to give evidence behind a screen to hide his identity.
No doubt she did bad but its a slippy slope to allow the press to fit people up like this for a story.

I'm no legal expert (by any stretch) but from the reported evidence it was pretty clear it was a stitch up to get a front page scoop! The CPS seem to have no common sense these days, its all political and i think they just worry about how they look & not whats in the best interest of justice. Tulisa is no angel by any stretch and hopefully this has taught her a life lesson. Probably to late for her career, that got the death sentence ages ago.
