Trial begins next month in Old Bailey, promises to provide some Grade A nautical sensations. As the two accused sailors stepped out of the iron-grilled prisoners' dock, their lawyer, Christmas Humphreys, hinted: "Very serious allegations will have to be made against certain witnesses for the prosecution...
