The turning point came in unexpected fashion: MP Andy Burnham, attending the 20-year Hillsborough memorial in 2009, was confronted and heckled by the crowd chanting 'Justice for the 96.' Shaken, he pushed to reopen the case. The result was the 2012 Hillsborough Independent Panel, which worked through 450,000 pages of documentation and released findings piecemeal to the press — allowing each revelation to register with the public. One after another, the lies unravelled. New inquests followed, and they delivered a definitive verdict: all 96 victims had been unlawfully killed. The 2012 panel also found that 41 of the 96 had the potential to survive if emergency services had been properly organised, and that the first ambulance had not arrived until 3:16 PM — at least 20 minutes after the crush became lethal.
