Lord Levy off the hook (along with New Labour 27)

SKy News No Charges Over Shooting Updated: 14:15, Saturday July 15, 2006

The possibility of murder or manslaughter charges over the shooting of Jean Charles de Menezes has been ruled out, according to reports. The Crown Prosecution Service will make a formal announcement on Monday.

There have been reports Metropolitan Police Commander Cressida Dick, who was in charge of firearms operations, and two firearms officers could face manslaughter charges.

But according to the Guardian, no individual police officers involved will face prosecution.

This follows a report earlier in the Guardian - but one might believe that Rupe's Rags have run this one by the Boss, who has, as is well known, a clear line through to No 10.

CPS rules out prosecutions for murder or manslaughter in shooting case

Guradian Clare Dyer, legal editor Saturday July 15, 2006

No individual police officers involved in the shooting of Jean Charles de Menezes will face prosecution over his death, the Guardian has learned. The Crown Prosecution Service has ruled out murder or manslaughter charges after a review of the circumstances surrounding the killing of the innocent Brazilian who was mistaken for a suicide bomber in July last year.....

... But the CPS is expected to announce on Monday that the Metropolitan police as an organisation will be charged with breaching health and safety at work laws over the shooting, raising questions over the future of the Met commissioner Sir Ian Blair. If found guilty of breaches, the Met could be fined an unlimited sum. (Always tell it's the Guradian when they commence a paragraph with a conjunction)

"In taking the decision, crown prosecutors sought advice from an independent QC, Clare Montgomery, a highly-regarded criminal silk practising from Matrix, the former chambers of the director of public prosecutions, Ken Macdonald QC. Decisions not to prosecute can be judicially reviewed by the courts if the reasoning is flawed and have been quashed in the past."

Now where was it that Cherie Blair (wife of the Prime Minister Tony Blair) places her briefs in between trips rattling her handbag to pay off the mortgage ? Matrix ?

So. The deal is done, and Lord Levy cannot expect to feel his collar felt any more, nor any of the New Labour 27 who have so selflessly given of their riches to the causes of Mammon and Zion.

Now for John Reid, Thane of Cawdor, to make his move.
