Leading article:
Justice delayed
must not become justice denied
Published: 18 July 2006
The decision of the Crown
Prosecution Service
not to prosecute any individual police officers
for the
killing of the Brazilian electrician,
Jean Charles de Menezes,
has provoked incomprehension and anger
in many
quarters.
Members of his family
are understandably aggrieved.
Their relative was shot at point blank range
at a London Tube station:
one minute he was peacefully going about his business;
the next he was dead:
shot seven times in the head.
There is no doubt whatsoever
that the police shot to kill.
Unsatisfactory though it may be,
the CPS decision not to prosecute
the two
officers from the special firearms unit
who shot Mr Menezes is correct.
All the evidence in the public domain so far suggests
that Mr Menezes was the
victim
of a tragic case of mistaken identity.
The police marksmen believed
they were tracking a suicide bomber.
For a
prosecution to succeed,
it would have to prove
that the officers knew something different
when they
pulled the trigger.
Nothing that we have learnt suggests
they acted in anything other than good
faith.

An open
verdict was today recorded into the death of Jean Charles de Menezes, who was
gunned down by firearms officers on the London underground having been mistaken
for a suicide bomber.
The coroner, Sir Michael Wright, had previously ruled out a verdict of unlawful
killing, leaving the jury with a straight choice between lawful killing or an
open verdict.
The inquest at the Oval cricket ground, south London, heard from 100 witnesses,
including the two specialist firearms officers, C12 and C2, who shot De Menezes
dead at point-blank range, on a tube carriage at Stockwell station on July 22
2005.
De Menezes was shot after being mistaken for the failed suicide bomber, Hussain
Osman.
For the first time, during the inquest, the public was given a full account of
the incident from key witnesses on board the train carriage where the shooting
took place.
The shooting came two weeks after London was rocked by the July 7 bombings,
which left 52 victims dead.
On July 21, a second gang of Islamist extremists attempted to murder dozens more
with homemade rucksack bombs.
As counter-terrorist police officers searched the city for the escaped would-be
suicide bombers, De Menezes was mistaken for Osman and shot dead.
The coroner had told the 11 jurors to cast aside any emotion over the innocent
Brazilian's shooting after hearing more than seven weeks of evidence and
protests from the Brazilian's family, outside the inquest.
