Well yes and no. The deths were a
TRAGIC accident and an Inspector made a bad call which was partly to blame for the deaths. This was a mistake on his part, for that there would have been a hearing he would have had his knuckles rapped and lost the chance of promotion or he would have gone on sick leave, I don't know how it would have ended. Its all very sad but the problem is with the police (filling the book) covering up the truth with lies and changing some officers statements.
For this the book should be thrown at them even if they have retired.
