“The jury at the inquest into the death of Jean Charles de Menezes today rejected Scotland Yard’s claim that he was lawfully killed as part of an anti-terrorism operation. Banned by the coroner, Sir Michael Wright, from returning a verdict of unlawful killing, the five men and five women decided on an open verdict – the most critical that was available to them.”
