Inquest Winds Up
The inquest has now run it’s course and all evidence was submitted and final witnesses called last Friday 8th June. It seems the process to come up with the findings and recommendations will take at least 10 weeks. A few comments relating to some previous posts:
Ms Carmody certainly stepped up to the plate and proved to be a strong ‘barrister assisting the coroner” certainly able to ‘hold her own’ amongst the other high profile barristers.
The non-aviation offences were relevant to coronial inquiry as there was a significant criminal case (no details disclosed) pending at the time of the accident and it was implied that Barry Hempel could have been under high stress levels.
We can only hope that the coronial findings and recommendations are presented in a way that can be implemented to ensure such an accident like this could be avoided in the future.
