David Duckenfield, the former chief superintendent of South Yorkshire police who was in command at the Hillsborough disaster, has formally pleaded not guilty to 95 charges of manslaughter by gross negligence.
There were 96 fatalities at the FA Cup semi-final between Nottingham Forest and Liverpool in 1989, but not until June this year was it ruled by judge Sir Peter Openshaw that Duckenfield's prosecution could go ahead.
Per David Conn of the Guardian, he entered his plea at Preston crown court, while Graham Mackrell, Sheffield Wednesday's secretary and safety officer at the time of the tragedy, also pleaded not guilty to two charges of breaching safety legislation.
