Hillsborough verdict points to police errors

The 96 Liverpool fans who died in the 1986 Hillsborough soccer stadium disaster were "unlawfully killed," a jury has concluded, finding Britain's worst sporting tragedy was partly due to police errors.

The result, which concluded a near three-decade campaign by relatives of the victims, was splashed across the front pages of British newspapers on Wednesday.

After hearing evidence for two years, jurors concluded on Tuesday that policing decisions at the ill-fated game "caused or contributed" to the deaths, and amounted to "gross negligence."
