Quote:The shooting of Mark Duggan must be investigated openly
The IPCC says sensitive evidence of police decision-making may prevent an open hearing. What are the police trying to hide?

The news that the inquest into the shooting of Mark Duggan has been further delayed, from September 2012 to January 2013, comes as no great surprise to those of us who have been through these types of investigations. Delays became par for the course in the inquests into the deaths of Cynthia Jarrett and Joy Gardner. It took four years for Roger Sylvester, another Tottenham resident whose life ended in police custody, to be declared "unlawfully killed", a verdict that was quashed a year later. And the inquest into the 2005 shooting of Azelle Rodney by Metropolitan police officers is still to be heard.
What was surprising in this case, shocking even, was the revelation from the Independent Police Complaints Commission that, in investigating the shooting, it has unearthed such sensitive material over police decision-making that it is unable to reveal it, even to the inquest coroner. So there is now a real possibility that an open inquest may not be held at all. Instead there may have to be an inquiry, before a judge, that would allow for closed sessions in which these "sensitive details" are kept secret.

Just like Dr Kelly. A legally required and binding coroner's inquest is avaoided like the plague. It seems to be all the fashion these days to have 'inquiries' which are not legally enforcable and makes no-one acountable. It amounts to no more than a little chat betweeen mates but gives the appearance that they even give a shit while in fact they are covering it all up. This has got to change. Justice demands it. No fear or favor.
