Jim Greensmith interviews South Yorkshire Chief Constable Peter Wright on Lord Justice Taylor’s public inquiry interim report into the Hillsborough stadium disaster (15/04/89). Says the criticism of police evidence was unfair and comments on blame assigned to police, his offer to resign, and criticism of Chief Superintendent David Duckenfield who was in charge on the day and his suspension.
