A new website called A Trial News has been set up by disgruntled former TVNZ and TV3 journalists, including John Campbell and Mark Sainsbury, to cover news on the most high profile trial of the century. 

When asked why the group thought this new site was needed, spokesperson Campbell explained that 'mainstream news websites  wouldn't be able to handle it [the weight of the news surrounding this trial]. They'd just crash!'

The head journalist reporting on the case for the new site is the fearsome Jackie Strongarm, who is well-known for ignoring the journalism code of ethics to get her story.
