Hillsborough Inquest

They covered this on sky.

He has been charged previously in a private pursuit of justice and the judge at the time (having been found innocent) ruled that he couldn't be retried. Currently the prosecution is getting that ruling quashed.

Ah OK cheers. Couldn't find anything on the BBC news site as to the reasons why. Hopefully there will be no legal reasons that the ruling can't be quashed.

Five of the six will be appearing in front of magistrates court on 9th August. The other one (David Duckenfield the chief supt) isn't in court on that date. Not sure why, but possibly that with his charges including manslaughter it can't be dealt with at magistrates court and would need a higher court to preside.

I think and I could be wrong, but initially you are charged at magistrates court and if the charges are to great for said court it is referred onto Crown court.

Duckenfield remains innocent in a legal sense but Graham Mackrell found guilty and awaiting sentencing.
