I thought that was a v good article but the headline distressed me. *Of course* police were to blame. Young healthy men don't just die.

People witnessed police kill Charles and Da Costa. They saw it happen. So why the questioning headline? It seems insulting really.

Legal reasons: asserting guilt in an article risks jeopardising a fair trial if juror reads it, & means risking victims' pursuit of justice.

Totally understand frustration, and obviously Twitter complicates contempt of court, but trials have collapsed as a result of press in past.
