No-one responsible for De Menezes shooting. Apparently.

A more balanced article on the Pc Hodgson case here. I don't trust that "red star research" site as far as I can spit.

Look at Pte Lee Clegg, convicted of murder (as in, deliberate unlawful killing) for opening fire on a car that refused to stop at a checkpoint in Northern Ireland. I'm not saying that he shouldn't have faced charges, quite the opposite. Just that the result in that case is inconsistent with cases like Stockwell and Harry Stanley.

Yes and no.

After all his conviction for murder was overturned on appeal so he was ultimately acquitted of any wrongdoing in that incident.

The case of Mark Wright and James Fisher shows that members of the army can be convicted for murder, although obviously once released they were free to continue their army careers. Clearly the army is correct that it is essential to throw out anyone in the army found to have taken drugs but if they have only murdered someone then that is no grounds to dismiss them.

I don't know why they didn't just rule it a suicide. He shot himself several times so as to save the police the trouble of doing so.
