Match commander David Duckenfield denies gross negligence manslaughterHillsborough match commander David Duckenfield's personal responsibility "lies at the heart" of his trial for the gross negligence manslaughter of 95 Liverpool supporters, the jury has been told. In his closing speech on Thursday, Richard Matthews QC, prosecuting, told Preston Crown Court the case was not about sympathy or unfairness. Mr Matthews told the jury: "Those five questions concern Mr Duckenfield's personal responsibility. "If I repeated 21 times 'personal responsibility' it is because that does lie at the heart of this case." Ninety-six men, women and children died following the crush on the terrace at the match between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest.
