I must say I am a bit surprised by this verdict, but not knowing all the facts of course we are not in a position to challenge it.

But I feel very sorry for the relatives of those killed. As one of the victim's parents said "Matthew had no interest in air shows, he could not have cared less. Knowing he died because an aircraft was being flown for fun, for the entertainment of others makes it even harder to bear."

Indeed we all feel sorry for innocent victims of disasters and crime,but the jury taking all things in consideration found him not guilty of manslaughter........mainly on medical evidence.

This sounds like understandable frustration but surely not every pilot will be prone to the same impairment.Besides,aerobatics will continue to occur.

As Sqad says,the jury will have thought long and hard before arriving at their verdict.

Many will question it but,as always,those people have not spent hours listening to all the evidence.

Any loss of life is tragic and regrettable but the case against the pilot it seems was not strong enough to convict him.
To eleven civil cases we will go - and then the result may be very different.
