Two ex-police officers from South Yorkshire police and the force’s one-time solicitor had been charged with perverting the course of justice
Liverpool have issued a statement after the collapse of the Hillsborough trial, claiming that the victims' families and survivors of the disaster "have been let down yet again".
A total of 96 Liverpool supporters lost their lives as the result of a crush at Sheffield Wednesday's stadium during their FA Cup semi-final clash with Nottingham Forest in 1989.
Former solicitor for South Yorkshire police, Peter Metcalf, then Chief Superintendent Donald Denton and Detective Chief Inspector Alan Foster were charged with perverting the course of justice after amending force statements.
