There does however appear to be a very clear contradiction here
between the inquest verdict of "unlawful killing" and the jury's verdict. all the medical evidence suggests he was unlawfully killed buy being pushed to the ground during this incident and this guy is on film and has admitted being the one who pushed him. Quite how the jury can therefore contrive to produce a not guilty verdict is beyond me.
I was expecting a verdict of manslaughter but a light sentence which i think would have been justified given that at the end of the day he only pushed him once.
