Lawyers for one of the defendants in the collapsed Hillsborough criminal case have rejected accusations that they manipulated the system to secure a result.
Mr Justice Williams Davis ruled earlier this week that there was no case to answer against retired solicitor Peter Metcalf and former police officers Alan Foster and Donald Denton over the handling of police statements following the 1989 Hillsborough disaster at which 96 Liverpool supporters died.
London firm Edward Fail Bradshaw & Waterson, which represented Foster, issued a statement following the acquittal to extend sympathies to the Hillsborough families and condemn the decision to prosecute their client.
