Hillsborough trial: PC's 'headless chickens' comment 'removed'

Police accounts about the Hillsborough disaster were changed to remove references to officers being "like headless chickens", a court has heard.

Sarah Whitehouse QC, prosecuting, said an account by PC Peter Finnerty originally said no instructions were given to police officers on the day. In an account by Insp Robert Creaser, references to a request to delay the kick-off and difficulties with police radios were removed, the court heard. Jonathan Goldberg QC, defending Mr Metcalf, said the Hillsborough disaster had become synonymous with "cover up" but he predicted the jury would find no evidence to justify that.

Good definitions,what's up with society

Been poorly run and disorganised does not make them corrupt.

Police are corrupt. tell us something we don't know

Me and the chicken

Headless chickens fly for some reason. I was trapped in the stereotype that chickens couldn't fly.
