Hillsborough Disaster trial.

Eats, Shoots and leaves.

 

If you count the fine only it works out to £57.29 per dead body.

 

So next ....Will there be an investigation into the alleged cover up, including west Midlands police and the alteration of witness statements?

 

Don't really know, but from their obvious reactions thus far, the families of the fans who perished, look
set to probably continue their fight to hopefully see those deemed responsible through negligence, given a
custodial sentence. They were elated when the original verdict of it being an accident was, mainly due to 27 years of
persistent campaigning replaced with one of unlawful killing.

So far, Graham Mackrell who was the Safety Officer at Hillsborough has been fined £6k and ordered to pay
additional costs of £5.5k. The Match Commander David Duckinfield has already been found not guilty and
the DPP are presently considering whether to agree to a retrial.

Having read some of the background details, personally whilst probably agreeing that Duckinfields actions were
a contributory factor, he unfortunately was not "solely " to blame and in the eyes of the law, it would in all likelihood,be deemed wrong to put the entire blame upon him. Plus some of the personnel who were at the game are now dead,
meaning that vital witness accounts are unable to be presented.

If they see fit and the DPP do in fact decide not to put Duckinfield on trial again, given the time interval and the evidence that has been presented thus far, having fought so hard for justice, it might prove extremely difficult for the Hillsborough families to get the outcomes that they have sought since that fateful day, when their loved ones were very sadly taken from them.
