THE TRIAL of a teenager facing terrorism charges will begin tomorrow - and is expected to last four weeks.
Nicky Davison, 19, appeared at a brief administrative hearing before Judge John Milford at Newcastle Crown Court today.
Mr Davison of Grampian Way, Annfield Plain, near Stanley, has denied two counts of possessing information likely to be used by a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism.
They relate to an electronic copy of the Poor Man's James Bond, which contained information about the production of explosives and improvised devices, and of The Anarchist Cookbook.
