In this episode Caroline and George hear evidence from the firearms officers who were on duty on the night of the shooting.

One told the jury he almost fired the shot himself because he was in fear for his life as the Audi revved its engine. Another said Martyn Blake was not angry or frustrated as has been alleged by the prosecution, and another said there were concerns there might be a shotgun inside the car. 

The prosecution say Martyn Blake exaggerated the threat level and should not have fired the shot which hit Chris Kaba in the head.
