From the Guardian today:
"They were given the judgment call and that is unbelievably outrageous, that they should be left with that responsibility," Trojan 84 [senior firearms adviser] said. "I think you're absolutely right in that the concertina-ing of all the information I'm sure had a huge part in the outcome."
Trojan 84 told the inquest at The Oval cricket ground, south London, that the men had been put in an ''invidious position'' on the day of the shooting.
He strongly denied a suggestion that the marksmen were "intent on shooting a person dead without any further assessment" when they entered Stockwell tube station. "They would never have had that state of mind at that point, that they were going to shoot somebody," he said.
