Fatal Shootings (Iraq)

In my hon. and learned Friend’s statement he said that there were ““inconsistencies”” in the accounts provided by the soldiers. Does he recognise that there are always inconsistencies in statements given by witnesses? If there are no inconsistencies, the witnesses are deemed to have colluded before giving their evidence. It also rankles with some of us that after an extensive inquiry the statement concludes that there is ““insufficient evidence”” to institute criminal proceedings in this case. We have the evidence—surely it shows that there is no case to answer.
