✍️ The family of a man shot dead by a police officer in a foiled prison break has accused Scotland Yard of evading accountability after a case against the marksman was thrown out.
👉 The officer, W80, shot Jermaine Baker during a foiled prison break attempt in 2015. 👉 The case was thrown out after a misconduct hearing, with the panel's chair ruling there was no case to answer. 👉 The Baker family has accused Scotland Yard of evading accountability and questioned how W80's action had escaped scrutiny. 👉 The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) directed that the officer should face misconduct proceedings, prompting a lengthy legal dispute between the watchdog and the Metropolitan police.
