Malcs,

Of course you are free to ignore that as well.

I'm not going to get into detailed discussion of the conflicting medical evidence, not only am I not qualified but I don't actually want an 'internet trial'. However, there is medical evidence that suggests the assault was probably the cause / a significant contributing factor to the death of this man.

It is clear that, whatever the charge that should have been brought, this officer has so far escaped justice. It is not for you or me to decide what charges should have been brought but I don't like living in a country where illegal acts that contributed to a man's death (carried out by an officer of the law who was apparently attempting to disguise his identity) go unpunished.

You find 'death of an innocent man' to be emotive language but you defend your use of 'chronic alcoholic' as purely factual - to me the two are just as emotive/factual as each other.
