Senior detective convicted of misconduct in public office - relating to the NOTW hacking scandal.

Casburn claimed she was bullied and acted in the public interest, but the court found her guilty of leaking confidential information. The Metropolitan Police condemned her actions as a betrayal. Casburn, awaiting sentencing, is also in the process of adopting a child, which may influence the judge's decision.
