Hillsborough

[Phil]

After the crush in the West Terrace had begun to develop, was there any error or omission by the police which caused or contributed to the loss of lives in the disaster?
Yes

[Buzzo]

That's the families coming out of court.

What a horrific... Utterly unimaginable journey they have been on.

Truly monumental day and while its huge to be finally be here it's a bloody disgrace it took so long.

[EwarWoo]

Amazing result, hopefully the families can start to get some peace at last.

27 years and finally some accountability.

Well not quite, all that has happened today is that certain parties have been exonerated and others have been found to have contributed to 96 deaths. So prosecutions now need to follow if at all possible.

They'll be people at two previous FA Cup semi finals (1981, 1987) who will also be glad of the findings.

CPS just confirmed they are considering bringing criminal prosecutions

[Buzzo]

Very emotional - The families singing YNWA.

[Phil]

CPS now formally considering criminal charges

[Chris]

Great, great stuff. I'm not comfortable calling it justice just yet mind, not while poison like Duckenfield and others involved are freely walking the streets. But thats up to the families not me. Today is a brilliant step, just more than a bit sickening it took 27 years to come out with what most knew anyway.

JFT96. I had goosebumps when the familes were singing YNWA outside the court.

[Camble]

REPOST sorry.

[frank the tank]

If the CPS don't bring criminal charges, (i don't know how they could make this decision but I am making that assumption on the fact that they are "considering" to make charges) then it will surely be a bigger kick.

Surely they HAVE TO bring criminal charges.



Unbelievable day though. Made up for the families of the 96 victims. Also, so apt that this is the final year of the Hillsborough memorial service.

They should never have had to go through years of pain to get to this point. It is terrifying what our establishment and institutions are capable of. At least our legal system managed to stay impartial and deliver some truth. My thoughts are with all those families today.
YNWA

Sorry don't know why it double posted
