Former News of the World royal editor Clive Goodman has told the Old Bailey he was "hung out to dry" after his arrest. In a meeting with Andy Coulson, he said his boss allegedly tried to convince him to admit he was a "lone wolf".
The phone hacking court has heard that during a meeting on an upcoming case, a company lawyer told him he would not be dismissed as long as he did not implicate anyone else.
If he named others, Goodman said he was told: "You cannot expect Andy to take you back after that."
The company lawyer also allegedly told Goodman that Coulson would deny any responsibility or involvement.
