MENEZES FAMILY TAKE FIGHT ON VERDICTS TO HIGH COURT
Lawyers for the Menezes family are going to the High Court today to apply for a judicial review of the Coroner's decision on the verdict options being left for the jury.
Earlier today, members of the Menezes family and their supporters walked out of court at the beginning of the Coroner's summing up to express their dissatisfaction with the turn of events at the inquest.
A spokesperson for the Jean Charles de Menezes Family Campaign said,
"It is essential in a case of this significance that a jury is given the widest opportunity to comment on all the evidence they have heard. We await the decision of the High Court and hope a just outcome will prevail."
An application for judicial review is taking place this afternoon.
We cannot comment on proceedings anymore at present due to legal technicalities but send our heartfelt thanks to all the members of the public who are contacting us with messages of support and expressing their disgust at the situation as it is.<
