Hillsborough inquests: sisters 'could have been saved' with prompt medical treatment

Vicki and Sarah Hicks, who died after crush at Sheffield Wednesday’s football ground, could have been revived if medics had reached them sooner, inquest told

Remember, one ambulance allowed in, police blocked the rest. One single paramedic got in.

Fuck, this is the crux no?

 

[butchersapron]

Fuck, this is the crux no?

Many things that called be crux - wait for the coming days testimony, won't just be these two poor girls. Horrible stuff coming i'm afraid.

 

[Favelado]

The original inquest's cut off time totally symptomatic of the cover up that was in place. We've known for a long time that people were still alive and could have been saved. Glad to see this being recognised.

Hillsborough inquests: sisters 'could have been saved' with prompt medical treatment

Feel a bit sick reading that. Fucking hell.

Horrible stuff coming i'm afraid.

Yep, it's gonna be really fucking grim. Necessarily so, obviously, but it's still painful to read even after all this time.

 

[butchersapron]

This the echo's thing on what's happening today. It's going to be quite detailed, so be prepared.

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

Jesus, just gets worse and worse

 

[Voley]

Jesus, just gets worse and worse

Aye. More optimistically, it looks like a thorough investigation this time, though. Fuck I really hope the right thing finally gets done now.

 

[DaveCinzano]

[Voley]

Jury out - Jury out at Hillsborough inquests - BBC News

 

[brogdale]

Jury retired to consider conclusions.

 

[William of Walworth]

Jury retired to consider conclusions.

And no news at all since 6th April? Are the jury still considering?

 

[butchersapron]

Of course they are. Not quite sure what sort of update you expect.

 

[William of Walworth]

The last thing I'd expect is any sort of running sequence of updates, I'm still a bit surpised at the length of time needed though. It's been over ten days. I'm highly aware of the sheer complexity of it all, but still.

Not surprising that it takes some time to process the vast quantity of evidence they've heard.

 

[chandlerp]

The hearings were over two years, juries sometimes take two weeks to decide on a hearing that's only a few days long. They've also got a number of counts to consider, each of which will require serious consideration and weighing of evidence. Quite happy to wait a year for a fair verdict.

 

[William of Walworth]

Very fair point. Not for me to get impatient

Taking those points from chandlerp on board as well.

 

[butchersapron]

Decision reached. Will hear it tmw at 11.

 

[Athos]

Decision reached. Will hear it tmw at 11.

It will be too late for some, but let's hope that, finally, there'll be something that moves us closer to justice.

 

[dessiato]

Let's hope it is the start of proper justice for all.

 

[chandlerp]

Of the 14 verdicts to be announced, 13 are unanimous and 1 is majority.

 

[Red Cat]

Decision reached. Will hear it tmw at 11.

Already? I wasn't expecting that. I feel very nervous.

 

[butchersapron]

Already? I wasn't expecting that. I feel very nervous.

I don't how to feel really. There are 14 verdicts and all with the accompanying notes. I feel it's well quick - which could mean they've overwhelmingly accepted the right side. But, i'm worried.

 

[Red Cat]

Yeh, me too.

 

[MAD-T-REX]

I wouldn't read anything into it. Juries in long trials form their views as the case progresses and aren't starting from scratch when they retire. The phone hacking trial lasted eight months and the jury was out for less than a fortnight.
