Open verdict in De Menezes case

Published:

Tom Griffin (London, OK): The jury at the inquest into the death of Jean Charles De Menezes has this afternoon delivered an open verdict. This was their only option other than lawful killing, after the coroner ruled out a verdict of unlawful killing at the end of the hearing last week. This led to protests from the family, of which some previously unreported details are now coming out.

The Justice4Jean campaign are reporting via their twitter feed that the jury ruled police did not shout a warning before shooting De Menezes.
