0:00:07 > 0:00:09- The body of Christ.- Amen.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Bye, Michael.
0:00:11 > 0:00:13I'm going to pay it all back, every penny.
0:00:13 > 0:00:16The machines in St Nick's are nothing like those in your shops.

0:00:22 > 0:00:24Why should anyone watch his?
0:00:24 > 0:00:26Blinded and killed, Dawn.
0:00:26 > 0:00:29White officer kills black boy on your watch...
0:00:30 > 0:00:31..and you're not over the detail.
0:00:31 > 0:00:36The officer who used the spray says she did so because she feared for Mrs Oyenusi's safety.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38That's not true!
0:00:38 > 0:00:39They're going to lie.

0:04:51 > 0:04:54I have two things to say to you, members of the jury.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56First, you'll remember that we opened and adjourned this inquest
0:04:56 > 0:04:59pending the findings of the Independent Police Complaints Commission.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02The Commission has decided no action should be taken against any officer
0:05:02 > 0:05:06involved in this case and so this inquest can now resume.
0:05:06 > 0:05:10Second, I'll introduce the various interested parties to you.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Starting on my left we have Mr Lambert,
0:05:13 > 0:05:15representing Patricia Greaves
0:05:15 > 0:05:18of the North West Mental Health Foundation Trust.
0:05:18 > 0:05:23Mr Marsh representing Rebecca Milton of the North West Mental Health Foundation Trust.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26Miss Hennessy representing Pamela Winderton
0:05:26 > 0:05:29of the North West Mental Health Foundation Trust.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32Mr Fogarty representing Elaine Cosgrove
0:05:32 > 0:05:35of the North West Mental Health Foundation Trust.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38Mrs Ofoeme representing PC Andrew Powell
0:05:38 > 0:05:41of the Low Marsh Police Force.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44Mr Wright representing PC Dawn Morris
0:05:44 > 0:05:47of the Low Marsh Police Force.
0:05:47 > 0:05:51Mr Lloyd representing Police Sergeant Denis Kilcaid
0:05:51 > 0:05:53of the Low Marsh Police Force
0:05:53 > 0:05:57and Mr Newton representing PC Ian Wakefield
0:05:57 > 0:05:59of the Low Marsh Police Force.
0:05:59 > 0:06:03And over here we have Mrs Helen Oyenusi
0:06:03 > 0:06:05representing herself.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09But Eastbrook wasn't all bad. There was Saint Nick's...
0:06:10 > 0:06:12..and Father Michael.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14He and Vernon got on well,
0:06:14 > 0:06:16and I was so grateful for that because...
0:06:18 > 0:06:23..he wouldn't take his medication, you see, unless he trusted you.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26But the sicker he got, the less he trusted you.
0:06:26 > 0:06:30The sicker he got, the more he needed the medicine,
0:06:30 > 0:06:32the less chance of him ever taking it.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35But Father Michael always managed to persuade him.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38Always.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41Had Father Michael been around that night...
0:06:43 > 0:06:44..Vernon would still be alive.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47I know it.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50I am black,
0:06:50 > 0:06:52a Christian and a mother.
0:06:53 > 0:06:57I should therefore forgive everyone involved in the death of my son
0:06:57 > 0:07:00and astonish you all with the strength of my faith.
0:07:01 > 0:07:02I will not play that game.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08I will not forgive people who have not asked to be forgiven.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12I will not forgive people who lied to the IPCC
0:07:12 > 0:07:14and will no doubt lie to this inquest.
0:07:16 > 0:07:21First give me truth and justice,
0:07:21 > 0:07:23and I will think about forgiveness.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28Is there anything else you'd like to say,
0:07:28 > 0:07:30anything you think might be relevant to this inquest?
0:07:30 > 0:07:33- No, sir. - Thank you, Mrs Oyenusi.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35I think we'll leave it there for today
0:07:35 > 0:07:37and meet tomorrow at ten o'clock.
0:08:20 > 0:08:24I'm sorry, I, erm, I should've warned you, Chloe.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36Could you lend me 20 quid, please?
0:08:38 > 0:08:39Till Friday.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45Anything up to 200 quid goes in the safe,
0:08:45 > 0:08:47anything over 200 quid goes to the bank.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50She gets it the following afternoon...

0:08:57 > 0:08:59PHONE RINGS
0:09:02 > 0:09:03Hello, Michael Kerrigan.
0:09:06 > 0:09:07Oh.
0:09:09 > 0:09:10Did you lose money on them?
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Could she have done?
0:09:13 > 0:09:17Manager says he's never seen her, so...
0:09:17 > 0:09:18What's your name?
0:09:20 > 0:09:22Your first name, then?
0:09:22 > 0:09:24May I? May I tell them?
0:09:27 > 0:09:28Her name's Chloe Demichelis.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31Her mother was Roz Demichelis.
0:09:31 > 0:09:32She...
0:09:33 > 0:09:35..lost a lot of money on these machines
0:09:35 > 0:09:37and, er...
0:09:37 > 0:09:39she took her own life.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50Why d'you close?
0:09:50 > 0:09:51I thought it was for the best.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53- PAINFULLY:- Oh, fuck.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55- What's wrong?- Sciatica.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02They're just machines, Chloe.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04Expensive machines, yes, but they're just machines and
0:10:04 > 0:10:06machines are replaceable. People are not.
0:10:08 > 0:10:13I was really saddened to hear about your mother, Chloe,
0:10:13 > 0:10:15and you have all my sympathy, my love.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18Now, I'm not saying we didn't profit from her losses,
0:10:18 > 0:10:21because we did, but others profited a hell of a lot more
0:10:21 > 0:10:24and you can't say if we'd refused her custom, it would have made
0:10:24 > 0:10:28any difference, cos it wouldn't, Chloe, my love, it wouldn't.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33I was wondering, Officer, if it's all right
0:10:33 > 0:10:37to just forget this ever happened, if that's possible at all?
0:10:37 > 0:10:38I'm sure it is.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45You see, I lost my mother, too, Chloe, when I was very young.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47It was natural causes so a lot less...
0:10:49 > 0:10:51Well, there are no words, are there?
0:10:51 > 0:10:53No words to describe what you've been through
0:10:53 > 0:10:56so we'll just leave it at that - "a lot less..."
0:10:57 > 0:11:00So I understand why you've done this, Chloe.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02I understand it.
0:11:02 > 0:11:03I forgive it.
0:11:03 > 0:11:04It's forgotten.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28We're full but we need to find a bed from somewhere.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33We're a small unit and we know everybody in our care and we don't
0:11:33 > 0:11:38want to send anybody home so my first response was to say, "No."
0:11:38 > 0:11:41So what if a young man's desperately ill?
0:11:41 > 0:11:42He's not one of ours.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45We don't know him, we don't have to see his suffering, so say no.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49But that'd be cowardly and immoral.
0:11:50 > 0:11:55We need to make a decision and there are three possibilities.
0:11:55 > 0:12:00I lied to Helen when I said that Vernon was the least unwell.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02He was ONE of the least unwell.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06But he was certainly the most loved.
0:12:11 > 0:12:16Helen had shown herself to be a wonderful, loving mother...
0:12:17 > 0:12:20..and who could come to any harm going home to a mother such as that?
0:12:22 > 0:12:23That's why we picked Vernon...
0:12:26 > 0:12:27..because he was so loved.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33The noise is going to drive you mad, though, Ryan.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36It's all right when the racing's on, it drowns it.
0:12:36 > 0:12:40But no racing, and it gets to you.
0:12:40 > 0:12:41And when someone wins...
0:12:43 > 0:12:45Oi, you stupid bitch!
0:12:45 > 0:12:47Aitch. She's at it again.
0:12:48 > 0:12:49Fucking hell!
0:12:55 > 0:12:58Right! It's a few home truths for you, sweetheart.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00Lots of people enjoy these machines.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03Yeah, OK, a few sad bastards like your mother get addicted
0:13:03 > 0:13:05but that don't mean you ban them.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07You don't ban booze cos of a few pissheads, do you?
0:13:07 > 0:13:10So you don't ban these cos of a few headcases like your bleeding mother!
0:13:10 > 0:13:13- And what are you bringing her tea for?!- Look at her.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15She's just destroyed four brand-new machines.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17She needs it.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20So she burns the shop down, what're you going to do, invite her to dinner?
0:13:20 > 0:13:21Jesus!
0:13:23 > 0:13:26I know what you want, sweetheart, and you're not going to get it.
0:13:26 > 0:13:31I am NOT calling the police so you can go all drama queen on us.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33I'm calling a lawyer.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36And he'll take out a restraining order on you
0:13:36 > 0:13:38banning you from all my shops.
0:13:38 > 0:13:42So next time you do your chain-gang thing, you'll go straight to prison
0:13:42 > 0:13:46cos it's not criminal damage any more, it's contempt of court.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48Contempt of court means straight to prison cos you're not
0:13:48 > 0:13:52upsetting little old me, you're upset a High Court fucking judge.
0:13:52 > 0:13:53God bless.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59Will you promise not to do it again?
0:14:04 > 0:14:07What he said was right - contempt of court, you'd go to prison.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13It'll be with you all your life.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15It'll stop you getting jobs.
0:14:15 > 0:14:16Look...
0:14:17 > 0:14:20If I swore to you I'll get him, this bookie...
0:14:20 > 0:14:23will you promise you'll keep away from those machines?
0:14:23 > 0:14:25Are you supposed to say things like that?
0:14:25 > 0:14:26No.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30- Sunday, ten o'clock mass.- OK.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34Come and see it if you like.
0:14:34 > 0:14:35OK.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40- Would you?- Do you want a hand...? - Yeah.
0:14:46 > 0:14:47Here.
0:14:52 > 0:14:53'The Lord be with you.'
0:14:53 > 0:14:56- CONGREGATION:- And also with you.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew.
0:14:59 > 0:15:00Glory to you, O Lord.
0:15:01 > 0:15:06And Jesus entered the temple of God and cast out all those
0:15:06 > 0:15:09who were buying and selling in the temple and he overturned the
0:15:09 > 0:15:14tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold the doves.
0:15:14 > 0:15:19And he said to them, "It is written. My house shall be called
0:15:19 > 0:15:23"a house of prayer, but you have made it a den of thieves."
0:15:27 > 0:15:28The Gospel of the Lord.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35I love that passage.
0:15:36 > 0:15:40Christ driving the money changers out of the temple.
0:15:40 > 0:15:44In John's version he drives them out with a whip - even better.
0:15:44 > 0:15:48I like it because it shows Christ's humanity.
0:15:48 > 0:15:49Even He was prone to anger.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52Righteous anger.
0:15:53 > 0:15:57As Christians we're meant to try and emulate Christ.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59Are we allowed to emulate that bit?
0:15:59 > 0:16:01Are we allowed a bit of righteous anger?
0:16:02 > 0:16:03I hope so.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09There's a young woman here today, Chloe...
0:16:10 > 0:16:14..whose mother took her own life very recently.
0:16:14 > 0:16:18She got addicted to those machines in the betting shop
0:16:18 > 0:16:22and she stole from her employer and she couldn't live with her shame.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24Does that not make you angry?
0:16:26 > 0:16:29Those machines take up to £100 per spin
0:16:29 > 0:16:31and they spin three times a minute -
0:16:31 > 0:16:35ten times faster than the fastest croupier on the planet.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38So fast, in fact, that if you walked in there with £1,000,
0:16:38 > 0:16:40you'd be skint in less than ten minutes.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43Nobody walks in with £1,000, of course,
0:16:43 > 0:16:46because these machines are in our poorest areas.
0:16:46 > 0:16:4916 in Hallcross Road. Why is that?
0:16:49 > 0:16:52Because if you've only got a fiver to last you the rest of the week,
0:16:52 > 0:16:55it makes eminent sense to gamble it.
0:16:55 > 0:16:59So 16 machines in Hallcross Road, all feeding off our poverty.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01Does that not make you angry?
0:17:02 > 0:17:05And these machines, well, they're a capitalist's dream.
0:17:05 > 0:17:09They don't need food or shelter. They don't need wages.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11You just buy them and line them up against the wall
0:17:11 > 0:17:14and off they go, sucking up our money.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16Our money!
0:17:16 > 0:17:19Money from one of the poorest communities in Western Europe
0:17:19 > 0:17:21given to shareholders living in the rich South East.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23Does that not make you angry?!
0:17:25 > 0:17:27But these ARE just machines.
0:17:29 > 0:17:34Christ, in righteous anger, took a whip to human beings.
0:17:34 > 0:17:38If we, in righteous anger, took a hammer to those machines,
0:17:38 > 0:17:41would we be condemned or applauded?
0:17:48 > 0:17:50CHORAL MUSIC
0:19:07 > 0:19:11I didn't volunteer for armed response, they asked me to join.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15I went away and thought about it for days and went back and said yes.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19And I didn't do it for the kudos because no-one,
0:19:19 > 0:19:21apart from a chosen few, ever knew I was in it.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24And I didn't do it cos I relished the prospect
0:19:24 > 0:19:28of shooting someone - I honestly hoped it would never come to that.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32They asked me if I was sure I could do it -
0:19:32 > 0:19:33shoot someone.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37I said I would only know that if and when it came to it
0:19:37 > 0:19:39and anyone who told you different was a fool
0:19:39 > 0:19:41and shouldn't be in armed response in the first place.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45And now I know of course, I could do it.
0:19:45 > 0:19:49PC Andrew Powell's at the door when I get there,
0:19:49 > 0:19:52but no sooner am I out the car than he's trying to force the door open.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54I don't know why.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57He disappears inside. Vernon Oyenusi comes out
0:19:57 > 0:19:58with his hand to his face like that.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03I now know he'd been sprayed. I didn't know that then.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06Then I thought he'd been punched or he was trying to
0:20:06 > 0:20:08hide his face for some reason.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11He starts shouting, "I'm blind" and he's coming towards me
0:20:11 > 0:20:12waving that knife.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14"I'm blind. I'm blind."
0:20:14 > 0:20:17But if he really is blind, how come he's heading straight for me?
0:20:17 > 0:20:19How come he knows where I am?
0:20:19 > 0:20:21And if he is really blind, that's only going to make it worse
0:20:21 > 0:20:25cos he's waving that knife about and he could cut anybody without even knowing it.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29"Armed police! Put down the knife!"
0:20:30 > 0:20:34You're trained to say it loud and clear. "I will fire".
0:20:35 > 0:20:39They must be in no doubt whatsoever that you will pull that trigger.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42Loud, clear, firm.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45"Put down the knife - I will fire."
0:20:46 > 0:20:48God knows what it sounded like to him
0:20:48 > 0:20:50but in here I'm not loud, clear and firm at all,
0:20:50 > 0:20:55in here I'm begging with him, "Please, please, please stop."
0:20:55 > 0:20:58Armed police! Put down the knife or I will fire!
0:20:58 > 0:20:59He doesn't stop...
0:21:00 > 0:21:02..and I know I'll have to shoot him.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05And the one thing you can't do is miss.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07You miss, you hit an innocent bystander
0:21:07 > 0:21:09so you're trained to aim for the chest.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14Always the middle of the chest.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18- I fire. - GUNSHOTS
0:21:20 > 0:21:23I meant to fire only the once but the trigger's so sensitive it
0:21:23 > 0:21:26goes off twice and I immediately think people are going to accuse me
0:21:26 > 0:21:30of wanting to finish him off but not at all,
0:21:30 > 0:21:31it just went off twice.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35Is there anything else you'd like to add,
0:21:35 > 0:21:38anything that might be relevant to this inquest?
0:21:38 > 0:21:41Could I say a few words to Mrs Oyenusi?
0:21:41 > 0:21:42Yes, of course.
0:21:44 > 0:21:48I've got kids of my own, Mrs Oyenusi.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50I can't imagine what you're going through.
0:21:53 > 0:21:54I am so, so sorry.
0:22:12 > 0:22:13Hello, Chloe.
0:22:18 > 0:22:19Is this where Mum came?
0:22:19 > 0:22:20Yes.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36What happens when those machines get replaced?
0:22:37 > 0:22:39We smash them up again.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41They'll put you in prison?
0:22:41 > 0:22:42Possibly.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45I don't want that.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49Shall we wage war by other means, then?
0:22:49 > 0:22:51Yeah.
0:22:51 > 0:22:52Please.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01What are you doing?
0:23:02 > 0:23:03It can help.
0:23:04 > 0:23:08It reminds us that Christ is here, sharing the pain.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20Are you still angry with her?
0:23:21 > 0:23:22A bit.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27I thought I'd find her hanging.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31I was dreading that.
0:23:32 > 0:23:33Anything but that.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47I read the boys', as well.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51I thought all the three of them might say the same thing, but they didn't.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56Was it you that phoned the college?
0:23:57 > 0:23:58What makes you think that?
0:23:58 > 0:24:00No-one else knew.
0:24:01 > 0:24:02Dad came.
0:24:04 > 0:24:08Mum had asked him to come and fix a radiator that didn't need fixing.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10Yeah.
0:24:10 > 0:24:14He was supposed to find her body, wasn't he? Wasn't he?
0:24:14 > 0:24:17Look, Chloe, there's things I simply cannot answer.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19She's dead.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21You can tell me now she's dead.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23I can't.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26Mum expected to be at home. You expected her to be at home.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28If she HAD been at home, I would have found her,
0:24:28 > 0:24:30I could have stopped it. Why wasn't she?
0:24:30 > 0:24:32I think she thought I was going to try and stop her
0:24:32 > 0:24:35so she changed her plans at the last minute.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37And you DID try and stop it?
0:24:39 > 0:24:40I can't answer that, Chloe.
0:24:42 > 0:24:46If it had been me, if I'd known what you knew, I'd have stopped it
0:24:46 > 0:24:48cos I never would have left her alone.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52Do you think I didn't do enough?
0:24:55 > 0:24:56Yeah.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02Did you like her?
0:25:02 > 0:25:04Yeah.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06Did she like you?
0:25:06 > 0:25:07I think so.
0:25:07 > 0:25:08Did she flirt with you?
0:25:08 > 0:25:10Yeah, a little.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15She had a way of daring you to tell the truth
0:25:15 > 0:25:18so you wanted to tell the truth.
0:25:18 > 0:25:19Yeah.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24Hey. It's all right.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31It's all right.
0:25:32 > 0:25:36- VOICE MAIL:- 'You're probably fast asleep so never mind.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39'It's just that Vernon wanted a word, didn't you, Vernon?
0:25:41 > 0:25:46'If you play this in the morning, maybe you could phone him, Father.
0:25:46 > 0:25:47'You know what he's like.
0:25:47 > 0:25:52'Doesn't believe a word his mother tells him but everything you say is gospel.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55'No pun intended, Father.'
0:25:55 > 0:25:56- MACHINE:- 'Message deleted.'
0:26:02 > 0:26:06The coroner has... He's asked a few witnesses, right at the end,
0:26:06 > 0:26:10if there's anything else that's relevant to the inquest.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14And if he asks you, are you going to tell him about that?
0:26:16 > 0:26:17Well, yeah, I'll be on oath.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20Will it make any difference to the verdict?
0:26:21 > 0:26:23No.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25So...
0:26:26 > 0:26:28..is it relevant?
0:26:33 > 0:26:36He was ranting and raving well before we put in an appearance.
0:26:37 > 0:26:42So you can't say we ratcheted up the tension by going in there.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45That boy should never have been allowed out of that hospital.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48I hear the nurses saying he was the least unwell.
0:26:48 > 0:26:52If that's the case, I'd hate to see the most.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55There was no way he was calming down.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58On the contrary, he was stoking his anger.
0:26:59 > 0:27:03I've seen it lots of times - a man stoking his anger till he's
0:27:03 > 0:27:08able to do something he'd never contemplate when sober and calm.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10I knew I had to use that spray.
0:27:10 > 0:27:15Had I not used it, we would not be at his inquest today,
0:27:15 > 0:27:17we would be at his mother's.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20I know that Andrew Powell agrees with this because...
0:27:20 > 0:27:24- Shame on you, girl! - ..he started to barge the door... - Shame on you, girl!
0:27:24 > 0:27:27- ..round about the same time... - Shame on you!- Mrs Oyenusi!
0:27:27 > 0:27:29- ..trying to get at Vernon to restrain him.- Please.
0:27:31 > 0:27:35I know how hard this is for you but, please, Mrs Oyenusi, you have to let the witness speak.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38The Taser was out of the question because of his clothing.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40I doubt it would have had any effect.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07The truth was they were sending Vernon home even though
0:28:07 > 0:28:12he wasn't well so I can understand them lying at first.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15But they DID go on to tell the absolute truth
0:28:15 > 0:28:19and I respected them for that and I'm sure Helen did as well.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23Is there anything else you'd like to add,
0:28:23 > 0:28:25anything that's relevant to this inquest?
0:28:29 > 0:28:31I was dreading that question.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34IS there something?
0:28:37 > 0:28:40Helen phoned me that night to say that Vernon was ill.
0:28:42 > 0:28:44She got the answering machine...
0:28:46 > 0:28:48..and, erm,
0:28:48 > 0:28:51I was there as she spoke but I didn't pick up.
0:28:57 > 0:28:59It was, erm...
0:28:59 > 0:29:01Well, I'd had a busy day and it was...
0:29:05 > 0:29:06It was late and I was tired.
0:29:09 > 0:29:11Had I gone round there, had I...
0:29:12 > 0:29:14Had I picked up...
0:29:16 > 0:29:18..Vernon might still be alive.
0:30:17 > 0:30:21I swear by Almighty God that the evidence I shall give shall
0:30:21 > 0:30:24be the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
0:30:27 > 0:30:28And it's going to cost me.
0:30:33 > 0:30:37Ever since PC Dawn Morris first walked into our nick,
0:30:37 > 0:30:40we've given her stick...
0:30:40 > 0:30:41because she's a woman.
0:30:42 > 0:30:46Ever since PC Dawn Morris first walked into our nick,
0:30:46 > 0:30:50she's had to prove she's as good a copper as any man there.
0:30:52 > 0:30:56And I think it's that that cost Vernon Oyenusi his life.
0:30:57 > 0:31:02When I get there, Vernon's distressed, yes,
0:31:02 > 0:31:04but he's no threat to anyone.
0:31:05 > 0:31:08It's as his mother says -
0:31:08 > 0:31:10he just needs calming down
0:31:10 > 0:31:12and I'm trying to do that until...
0:31:15 > 0:31:18..Dawn and Ian Wakefield suddenly appear behind Vernon...
0:31:20 > 0:31:22..and scare the living shit out of him.
0:31:23 > 0:31:27See, I think Dawn knows there and then she's done the wrong thing...
0:31:29 > 0:31:30..but she can't admit it...
0:31:32 > 0:31:35..because she's a woman in a man's world.
0:31:35 > 0:31:37She's got to get control of the situation,
0:31:37 > 0:31:39prove how decisive she can be.
0:31:41 > 0:31:44So she goes for her spray and that's
0:31:44 > 0:31:49when I start barging the door and it's not to grab Vernon...
0:31:50 > 0:31:51..which is what Dawn said.
0:31:53 > 0:31:56It's to stop Dawn spraying a mentally ill man.
0:32:01 > 0:32:04Now I'm screaming at her not to do it and I know it registers.
0:32:06 > 0:32:08I know she realises...
0:32:09 > 0:32:12.."Shit, this is a big mistake," but what's she going to do?
0:32:12 > 0:32:15She's already got the canister in her hand, she has to use it,
0:32:15 > 0:32:17she has to be decisive.
0:32:20 > 0:32:21So she sprays him...
0:32:22 > 0:32:24..and he blunders out...
0:32:26 > 0:32:27..and we hear two shots.
0:32:32 > 0:32:36It is the most stupid thing...
0:32:38 > 0:32:39..I've ever seen a copper do.
0:33:16 > 0:33:20- You've reached your decisions, I believe.- Yes.
0:33:20 > 0:33:23How have you answered question number one?
0:33:23 > 0:33:28Did Sergeant Denis Kilcaid act lawfully or unlawfully in shooting Vernon Oyenusi?
0:33:28 > 0:33:29Lawfully.
0:33:29 > 0:33:31Thank you.
0:33:33 > 0:33:36How have you answered question number two?
0:33:36 > 0:33:42Did PC Dawn Morris act lawfully or unlawfully in spraying Vernon Oyenusi?
0:33:42 > 0:33:43Unlawfully.
0:33:44 > 0:33:46Thank you.
0:33:46 > 0:33:48And how have you answered question number three?
0:33:48 > 0:33:52Was Vernon Oyenusi lawfully or unlawfully killed?
0:33:52 > 0:33:54Unlawfully.
0:33:54 > 0:33:56Thank you.
0:33:56 > 0:33:59Thank you, members of the jury for the way you've conducted yourselves
0:33:59 > 0:34:04throughout this difficult, demanding and profoundly moving inquest.
0:34:04 > 0:34:06I'd like you to leave now, but if you could wait in the jury room
0:34:06 > 0:34:09because there is a document each of you has to sign.
0:34:09 > 0:34:11I'd also like to thank the administrative staff for ensuring
0:34:11 > 0:34:15this inquest proceeded as smoothly and as efficiently as it did.
0:34:15 > 0:34:17Thank you.
0:34:17 > 0:34:22And finally, to Mrs Oyenusi, I wish to offer our deepest sympathy
0:34:22 > 0:34:24on the loss of her son.
0:34:24 > 0:34:27Vernon's death certificate will be completed to reflect
0:34:27 > 0:34:31the findings of the jury and will be available to Mrs Oyenusi
0:34:31 > 0:34:33on payment of the appropriate fee. Thank you.

0:35:35 > 0:35:36Please say you forgive me.
0:35:38 > 0:35:40Why didn't you tell me?
0:35:41 > 0:35:42I... I couldn't.
0:35:44 > 0:35:46Even when you DID tell the truth you did so only
0:35:46 > 0:35:49because you were too frightened to lie on oath. Yes?
0:35:52 > 0:35:55- Yes.- You didn't do it for me, you did it for yourself. Yes?
0:35:58 > 0:35:59Yes.
0:36:32 > 0:36:36In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
0:36:36 > 0:36:37Amen.
