Thanks Mary I'd forgotten about the July 21st failure which is likely highly relevant to the events on the 22nd!! None of the passengers in the carriage - and other witnesses on the platform - heard any warning from the two SO19 police and no one said they saw Menezes get out of his seat and/or approach the two from SO19. When I read those witness reports I thought that the verdict would, when the inquest ended, have to be unlawful killing. I believe it was at that point in the inquest that someone decided to have the jury banned from using that verdict. It was entirely clear that Menezes had remained in his seat throughout and was shot to death without warning while seated. And this happened with a surveillance officer sitting a few feet away obviously not believing that Menezes was armed or wearing a suicide vest. YCNMIU!
