Hillsborough Disaster Inquests Jury Retires

Jurors in the Hillsborough inquests have retired to consider verdicts after the longest-running jury hearing in British legal history. Members of the jury have to decide whether or not the 96 fans who died at the Hillsborough disaster in 1989 were unlawfully killed. Sir John told the jurors in his summing up that they would have to be sure that David Duckenfield, the match commander on the day of the tragedy, was responsible for the manslaughter of the victims by gross negligence.
