Looks like there's a chance for James Murdoch to be implicated.

Tom Crone, former legal manager of the News of the World, and Colin Myler, former News of the World editor, both claim that in a 2008 meeting discussing a lawsuit against the paper over phone hacking, Crone specifically told James Murdoch about an email entitled "for Neville", containing hacked information about Professional Footballers' Association chief executive Gordon Taylor, and widely thought to implicate the paper's chief reporter Neville Thurlbeck in malpractice.
The "for Neville" email discussed in the 15-minute meeting demonstrated how phonehacking was a widespread practice in the company, and that it went beyond royal editor Clive Goodman (who was jailed in 2007 for illegally accessing phone voicemails). Though both Crone and Myler have no written and record and can't completely recall the discussion, both are sure the email was discussed because that email evidence was the basis for the NOTW's decision to settle in the case, and therefore the email had to have been explained to James Murdoch for him to approve the settlement.

PS. If you can, try your hand at giving some of the others a bit of feedback. If you already have, thanks, can you do some more?
