Some were charged and brought to trial but no one was ultimately convicted.
If it does become law, I just hope I'm wrong, and that it works, in that it also leads sorting any legal issues such as the investigation/evidence process that was used in the Government Hillsborough Judicial Taylor Inquiry.
For example. In the case of Donald Denton and Alan Foster: Two retired SYP officers, along with force solicitor Peter Metcalf who were charged with perverting the course of justice for altering police statements.
The trial based on the Judicial Inquiries findings/statements ended when the Judge ruled that as the Taylor Inquiry was not a court of law the trial was based on inadmissible evidence and that there was no case to answer.
