if he had been wearing a suicide vest, would the fact the police shot him with or without his finger on the button have made a difference, would it indeed have gone to court ?? the fact is the firearms officer shot him lawfully, i.e in accordance with what the law says is acceptable, the jury also returned a verdict that he was indeed unarmed at the time he was shot. different verdicts for different points in law, the main question now should be did he indeed pick that gun up in a shoebox whilst travelling in that taxi, what did the evidence of the man who allegedly gave him the gun say??
