Yeah I looked around. It still needs the trial to be completed first.
Did the guy do something silly that made the policeman shoot, is an unanswered question.
What was the criteria for releasing the shot would be the second question. The CPS will not prosecute without a fair chance at conviction, but innocent until proven and all that.
You could also be asking what was he doing in a car with the history it had, but that should not be justification to kill someone. I would not wish for the UK to follow in the US footsteps of frivolous shootings.
I saw this in the Wikipedia article
Dunno how the situation actually went down though
@Syldon I agree, presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond reasonable doubt.
But it does sound to me that there's definitely going to be a strong case for this prosecution.
