Those who said it was a straightforward accident, with no blame attached to any party are wrong. I rest my case m'lud.
But hell, who cares?
Steve,
Your poll asked "Was she murdered?"
Your conclusion is "she was unlawfully killed unintentionally."
What do you consider to be the correct answer to the way your poll was worded?
Well first I could have phrased that better with a comma or two...She was unlawfully killed, (unintentionally or otherwise),
but you ask a reasonable question. I didnt give the coroners verdict options because when I started this thread many years ago...(
) the idea that there might be a coroners verdict was still a long way off.
But to answer directly I think the nearest option in the poll to the jury verdict would be option 2 "Possibly, we will never know the truth".
That certainly sums up my position. The more I think about this, the more I am astounded that the jury did not actually come to the conclusion "accidental death". The pressure on them must have been immense. Yet they went for unlawful killing.
