Menezes trial next October
LONDON: The trial of Lon-don's Metropolitan Police on health and safety charges over the fatal shooting of Brazilian Jean Charles de Menezes has been set for next October, more than two years after he was killed.

De Menezes, 27, was shot dead in July 2005 after being mistaken for a suicide bomber at Stockwell underground station in south London.

Prosecutors say that officers involved in the bungled operation - who will not face charges individually - failed to provide for the health, safety and welfare of De Menezes.

The Met pleaded not guilty to the charges in September, calling it a test case for the force and for policing.

1. Yes, I suppose you could call...
...pumping seven bullets into the head of an innocent man a failure to provide for his "health, safety and welfare." You could also call it murder.

What an insult to de Menezes family that the incident is being treated like an industrial accident.

2. What a crock of shit.
Deliberate killing: failed to provide for the health, safety and welfare of De Menezes.
