Did well to time this for when the weather's shit so none of the blacks will go outside
A police officer has been cleared of murdering a man he shot in the head in south London two years ago.
Martyn Blake, 40, shot Chris Kaba, who was unarmed, during a police vehicle stop in Streatham, south London, in September 2022.
The officer denied intending to kill the 24-year-old.
As the jury's decision was read out the defendant took a deep breath, but otherwise did not react to the not guilty verdict.
During the trial at the Old Bailey, the court heard Mr Kaba was due to be a father.
He died from a single gunshot wound, which was fired through the windscreen of an Audi Q8.
Mr Justice Goss thanked the jury of nine men and three women following the verdict on Monday, saying they displayed diligence and care during the trial.

Fricking BBC still tried to bury the detail deep in the article and brush over why the entire case was a politically motivated sham.

Is this a normal way of saying in English or is the BBC subtly saying that he was wrongfully acquitted?

That's normal, he was being charged with murder but was cleared of it

"Cleared of murder" I understand, but when they write "of his murder" doesn't that mean that a murder still have taken place?
