There have been 2 criminal trials, 2 juries have heard the evidence and neither have found David Duckenfield guilty of any charges. The not guilty verdict is the outcome of the justice system being used, or is it only justice if the families get the result they want? There were many factors involved in what happened that day.

This is why i rather like the Scottish, and a few other, systems where there is a third option of 'not proven'.

The people I would like to see face a trial are those who told lies to the press and The Sun for printing them.

I would still like South Yorkshire police disbanded too.

The story in The Sun about picking pockets etc was very similar to what had previously been printed in the Liverpool Echo about the same kind of behaviour by fans at Heysel; were lies told then? Strange how few people complain about that....
