Default Unlawful and Criminal Friendly Fire


After 4 years of investigation, the Coroner, in the case of the "friendly fire" incident which killed Lance Corporal Matty Hull, 25, has concluded that the killing was "unlawful", "criminal" and "entirely avoidable". He said that "The attack on the convoy amounted to an assault".
The deputy coroner added, "I don't think this was a case of honest mistake.".


The Coroner also noted that the lack of cooperation from the US was "very disappointing" due to their refusal to provide evidence and witnesses despite requests.


A spokesman from the UK's MoD said: "This inquest has highlighted the need for a more coherent approach to the management of documentation and evidence."


The conclusion of the investigation was is in contradiction the the USA's own investigation., which may explain the US's evidence and whiteness black-out.


The family of Lance Corporal Matty Hull have decided not to press charges
against anyone one in the US military.





I don't know what to make of this yet.
