Well the same could be said of a murder, or any crime. The key issue here I think, is that members of the police were involved in what appears to be a criminal conspiracy to pervert the course of justice in order to avoid culpability.

The negligence of the decision on the day itself is understandable, maybe, that the police felt they had to make that decision in order to prevent a riot. What makes it criminal is the obfuscation, deception and maleficence following the event, including forgery of statements (by altering them) in order to shift culpability on to victims.

I think that in any society that values the idea of rule of law, those who deliberately attempt to pervert the course of justice should face the full weight of the law, especially if their a part of that justice system.

I don't disagree at all. I just want justice served for the right reasons and not just for public satisfaction.

Here we go. What is needed. Duckenfield looks straight away to be the most complex. The others just have to prove to be the liars that they are and the evidence is very strong there.

I think Duckenfield may just get away with it which will be very disappointing due to his general non-contrite demeanour since the event. He deserves some punishment for his actions and covering-up and fabrications.

To secure a conviction, the Crown Prosecution Service must show firstly the existence of a duty of care to the deceased. Then, it must prove that duty of care was breached, and thirdly that the breach of duty caused or else significantly contributed to the deaths. Finally, prosecutors would have to convince a jury that the breach should be characterised as gross negligence, and therefore a crime.

Graham Henry Mackrell, who was Sheffield Wednesday Football Club’s company secretary and safety officer at the time, has been charged with two offences of contravening a term of condition of a safety certificate contrary to the Safety of Sports Grounds Act 1975 and one offence of failing to take reasonable care for the health and safety of other persons who may have been affected by his acts or omissions at work under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974.

yes not admitting they screwed up at the start needs punishing but also they are not 100% at fault the liverpool fans are just as much to blame they killed there own fans by not going to the wings they pushed and pushed without care to get in the middle section. they blamed other team supporters for the heysel disaster because we all know that liverpool fans have never attacked anyone

Not according to the findings of the public enquiry, the Liverpool fans were not responsible for the deaths of 96 people - the police and stewards were.

Heysel Stadium, they were responsible, and there were criminal charges brought against fans.

Court of law innit.

And from near the front and from the middle and toward the back and at the sides. That's what happens when 5,000 people are crammed into an already full pen meant for 3,000 with the last couple of thousand entering simultaneously within 90 seconds of each other.

Sad thing was of course, which Duckenfield could see, was that the two side pens were half empty when the gate was opened but no-one had put stewards or police at the entrance to the middle one to divert them.
