Complaint
A viewer complained that the programme was biased and inaccurate, concentrating unduly on the views of Chris Kaba’s family and implying that Sgt Martyn Blake had been wrongly acquitted of his murder. The ECU considered the complaint in the light of the BBC’s editorial standards of impartiality and accuracy.
Outcome
Noting that the complainant had not identified any elements of the programme which were inaccurate or would have conveyed the impression Sgt Blake had been wrongly acquitted, the ECU considered that the views of Mr Kaba’s family had been appropriately balanced by other contributions to the programme, and found no grounds for upholding the complaint.
Not upheld
