...very first time a fellow citizen being tried in a legal system that had previously been reserved for such spectacular but very American melodramas as the O.J. Simpson saga. When the guilty verdict was announced, an audience watching in a pub in Woodward's home village of Elton, in northern England, was so taken aback that for a time all that could be heard was the amplified sound of the teenager crying in the courtroom 3,000 miles away.
