50 years since Lord Lucan named 'murderer', victim's son insists he's Down Under
In a historic verdict Lord Lucan was named by an inquest jury as the man who murdered family nanny Sandra Rivett exactly 50 years ago - Sandra's son is still fighting for justice and insists Lucan is still alive and living in Australia Exactly 50 years ago one of the most dramatic British court verdicts in history came when a jury foreman uttered the words: "Murder by Lord Lucan." It was the very last time an inquest jury ever named a killer. The jury identified Lucan as the man who murdered the family nanny Sandra Rivett in a case that gripped the world. The law was quickly changed and no-one has ever been named as a killer at an inquest since. Westminster Coroner's Court had just heard the inquest into Sandra who was found bludgeoned to death. Sandra's son Neil Berriman has carried out extensive research into the inquest. He has spent years investigating the case and insists that Lucan is still alive living in Australia. He is hoping the 50th anniversary will focus attention again on the case. He said: "It's now 50 years since an inquest jury found Lord Lucan guilty of the murder of my mother. It was such an historic verdict. " I believe Lucan is still alive and living in Australia. Why don't the police interview this man? The world's leading expert on facial recognition said it was certain that this old man is the same person as the old photos of Lord Lucan. It was a match. Two other facial recognition companies have come to the same conclusion." Berriman, a building contractor from Milland, west Sussex was featured in a three part BBC documentary last year. It focused on his battle to prove that an elderly man living in Queensland is Lucan. He said: "It's so frustrating that this is still going on all these years later. "I promise you I will get justice for Sandra. I will never stop fighting for her until my last breath on this earth. This is such an establishment stitch up. They've covered this up from the start." Back in November 1974 Sandra was killed in Belgravia, London. Lucan fled and was never seen again. Police believe he threw himself off a cross channel ferry but no body was ever found. The inquest was held the following year and this is how the Daily Mirror reported the inquest: "Jury foreman William Thomas was asked if they had reached a decision. "He replied, 'Yes. Verdict, murder by Lord Lucan'. Coroner, Dr Gavin Thurston said: 'I will record that Sandra Helena Rivett died from head injuries. The offence was committed by Richard John Bingham, Earl of Lucan. The coroner added, it is very rare for a Coroner's Court that a person is named as you have done. "It is my duty to commit that person to trial at the central Criminal Court. But he added, in this case, there is nobody I can commit for trial because we don't know where Lord Lucan is. There is no doubt that if he turns up, he will be charged with the offence. I will keep this on my file until such time as there are any further developments." As he read the Mirror's report, Berriman sighed: "Here we are 50 years on and justice still hasn't been served."

Grey's Anatomy's Sandra Oh Admits She Was Demanding On Set
In 2005, Sandra Oh was cast in the career-changing role of Cristina Yang in the ABC medical series Grey's Anatomy, which, as you may know, became a pretty huge hit. Sandra remained on the show until 2014, and in that time, she earned a Golden Globe, Screen Actors Guild Award, and several Emmy nominations. And the star has opened up about just how dedicated she was to her onscreen character of Cristina while speaking to Dartmouth College's graduating class of 2025 on Sunday. Sandra received an honorary doctorate of the arts from the college, and took the opportunity to try and inspire the students."Nothing has taught me more than being with discomfort," Sandra said in her commencement speech. "It can be our greatest learning opportunity, and it is also inevitable. So if you can train yourself not to turn away but to learn how to be with your discomfort and trust that it might be telling you something you don't yet know, it can help you develop an inner strength that will enable you to face the challenges life presents you without losing your values or your sense of self along the way." She went on to say that being cast in Grey's in her early 30s brought her "financial stability, fame, and privilege," but despite this, her time on the show was "one of the most challenging decades' of her life. Sandra admitted to being demanding of both herself and the show's writers, which 'caused grief' for everybody and led to calls with the 'big boss,' Shonda Rhimes, who tried to encourage the star to let the staff do their job. "I learned profound lessons during this time because so much of it was so uncomfortable," Sandra told the graduates. "When I started Grey's, I was in my early 30s, so I had an idea of who I was and what the work entailed, but I had no idea what was coming.' 'I demanded a lot from myself and from the writers,' she confessed. 'If something bothered me in a script, I would fight for what I believed what was right for the character of Cristina because I felt responsible for her. And while this contributed to the creation of a memorable character, my desire to make the dialogue fit and my belief that I knew what was best for the character also caused grief for the writers and for me." Sandra said that she ended up becoming so notorious for her demands that production had a 'dedicated Sandra whisperer on staff,' whose sole task was to come to the Grey's set and 'deal with' her. "That doesn't happen anymore. I am my own whisperer," she said. "One time… the writers and I were at an impasse about something in this script, and I had to have a call with the big boss. And Shonda, I'll never forget, she said to me: 'Sandra, we have been here before. You got to trust me. Something will come through if you just say the damn words.' … It has stayed with me. I heard her." Cristina has remained present on Grey's since Sandra left the show more than a decade ago, with the character being included via text messages and other written correspondence. The star has long maintained that she has no interest in ever returning to the character, but recently told Entertainment Weekly that she is starting to question this stance. "For the longest time, it has always been a hard no. And it's just… I don't know. I just don't know," she said. "When you finish something, it's a deep process… I just cannot tell you… I can't stress to you enough how consciously I tried to fully process leaving. I don't feel the need to revisit, but I also profoundly understand the audience's love for this character, because I've seen it for the past 10 years. That's the part that makes me just go, hmmm." Would you like to see Cristina back on Grey's? Let me know in the comments below! You can also watch Sandra's full commencement speech here.
