He is just a witness. These points were brought up when he was being questioned so I guess they can decide his credibility. He is only one witness among many so I doubt his word is being taken as gospel.

I know but from reading the media coverage most of them skim over his more ludicrous claims. :mad:

Re: Riots

To get a verdict of unlawful killing the Jury needs to be sure that he didn't have a gun and sure that the officer knew that.

Juries are funny creatures, the length of time for a decision is making me nervous.

It seems like it was a a very complex case so I don't think that means anything either way.

Re: Riots

So the jury find the Duggan did not have the gun when confronted by the police but believe the officer didn't know that.

Re: Riots

Yup all kicking off in court.

To be honest it's the verdict that would cause the biggest reaction.

Re: Riots

If you live by the sword, you will die by the sword. Ancient wisdom that still has resonance today. Duggan may not have been in possession of a gun at the fatal moment, but he put himself at risk of exactly this end by way he conducted his life.

I hope the liberal hand-wringers and professional agitators will drop it now this verdict is in - a verdict by a jury, let us not forget, not a coroner deciding alone.

But I doubt it.
