Chris Kaba, an unarmed man, was shot by police officer Martyn Blake, who was acquitted of murder. Kaba's criminal background, including alleged gang ties, was revealed post-trial.
Despite Kaba’s previous acts, such as his alleged involvement in a nightclub shooting, this information did not factor into the murder trial of officer Martyn Blake.
Judge Justice Goss decided that Kaba's criminal history was irrelevant to the case, which raised significant discussions among the public and media regarding police protocols.
The family of Chris Kaba attempted to prevent the release of his past criminal offenses, highlighting the tension between public interest and individual privacy.
