Maitlis pest’s plea rejected
A MAN who has stalked Newsnight presenter Emily Maitlis for 25 years was told he could not alter his plea to not guilty.
Edward Vines, a former university friend of the TV journalist, said he had “changed his mind” and was “wrongly convicted”.
A judge at Oxford crown court refused the application. Vines, 47, of Oxford, will be sentenced in January for breaching restraining orders not to contact Maitlis, 47.
