After The Inquest Verdict
On 25 October 2006 Sir Menzies Campbell Leader of the Liberal Democrats and MP for North-East Fife raised the matter at Prime Minister’s Questions (PMQs).
He asked
"When may we expect the Attorney-General to make an application for the extradition and trial in Britain of those American soldiers against whom there is a prima facie case for the unlawful killing in Iraq of the ITN journalist Terry Lloyd?" ( Hansard Column 1512 and also BBC news website ).
On 19 March 2007, BBC reported that ITN released the names of the 16 U.S. Marines in the unit involved in Lloyd's death.
Despite Andrew Walker's verdict at the inquest, the Crown Prosecution Service decided in July 2008 that there was "insufficient evidence" to prosecute Lloyd's killers.

Famous quotes containing the word verdict:
“All in all, the creative act is not performed by the artist alone; the spectator brings the work in contact with the external world by deciphering and interpreting its inner qualifications and thus adds his contribution to the creative act. This becomes even more obvious when posterity gives its final verdict and sometimes rehabilitates forgotten artists.”
—Marcel Duchamp (1887–1968)
