£6,500 fine for all those lives lost 32 years ago? Que?!  

 

Nowhere near enough IMO, should've been £6.5 Million (at least)

Anyone else want to pluck a number out of thin air?

Meh, and what would that have solved.

So they got off on a technicality?

The judge ruled their was no case to be answered, also stated a complete waste of public money which could have been spent elsewhere.

Doe's that mean there will be a riot in Liverpool tonight?

A decision of convenience ! The judge knows a guy whose friend knows a guy who was a high ranked Police Officer.

They were accused of misleading a public inquiry (to make SYP look better) which, it turns out, isn't the criminal offence of perverting the course of justice they were charged with, since the inquiry wasn't a court. So really the case should never have bought, and the judge was right to throw it out.

 

So the particular behaviour being prosecuted was arguably reprehensible, but not criminal.

 

Note that this case is unrelated to whether anyone should be been prosecuted for actions / inactions on the day which caused the deaths.

Well no, the charges were erronious.

You DO of course have proof of this accusation??
