While it is clear he was shot, what is not clear is what direction the bullet came from. I have no doubt that a killing took place, but if a police man, who is under fire fires back and kills an innocent bystander the verdict is clearly manslaugher, not murder.

Unless of course he is a Jew.

There has been no verdict on guilt in this case as there has been no trial. There has been an inquest into the death which returned a finding of 'unlawful killing'. It is not within the remit of a Coroner's Court to decide on the guilt of an indivdual with regard to that killing or to distinguish whether the killing was murder or manslaughter. Both of those are reserved for an actual trial court.
