Personally I'd like to see the person who claimed at the trial she saw the Police plant the gun should be done with perjury.

I agree but we need to ascertain the exactly circumstances of what happened.

Mark Duggan "may not have been an angel" but he should not have been shot dead by police, his mother has said.

Pamela Duggan sobbed as her statement was read at an inquest into her son's death
Is there a specific reason why this is allowed as evidence at an inquest? Surely the only evidence should relate to whether or not the shooting was justified or not? A mothers statement would only serve as emotional ammunition to one side.

It certainly does not come under traditional definition of a witness giving evidence which must not be opinion or hearsay but am not a legal expert.

Sorry but I have as much sympathy for the likes of Duggan as they have for their many victims.

Yeah but don't forget he was only a (plastic) 'gangsta' because "society turned him in to one".

Inquest has heard that it was a phone, not a gun, according to a witness. This inquest is going on a long time:

I am still not clear on if he had a gun or not.

He said he was told the firearm was found approximately 14ft (4.3m) from Mr Duggan.

It sounds like the Police have got their stories sorted out. How can that guy who was so many floors up in the flat see that he had a gun??

While I do agree on some part with the Armed Police as they've got to make a snap decision which can result in the loss of a life.

Well this is one witness amongst many in the inquest. Once it's all completed we should hopefully have a better idea.

Re: Riots
 
So a witness several floors up, whose first instinct was to make money from the footage by selling it, initially says it was a gun then changes his mind to it being a phone AFTER reading newspaper reports and admits in court he hates the Police is classed as credible when he says Duggan was executed???
