3: Officer Blake: 'Why I Pulled the Trigger'

Caroline Cheetham and George Odling are back with the very latest from The Trial of Officer Blake.   In September of 2022, a 24-year-old, father-to-be, was shot through his car windscreen by a Metropolitan Police firearms officer. Chris Kaba died in hospital that night and Martyn Blake now stands trial for murder. The CPS’s decision to prosecute led to over 300 officers handing in their gun permits.   In this episode we hear the words of Martyn Blake as he takes to the stand and defends his decision to fire the lethal shot.     Welcome to Episode 3: ‘Why I Pulled the Trigger’   Follow us on instagram @thetrialpod Email us thetrial@mailmetromedia.co.uk Whatsapp us +447796657512 (start your message with ‘Trial’)   Presenters: Caroline Cheetham and George Odling Editor: Izzy Bougeard Creative Director: Caroline Cheetham Executive Producer: Lucy Vallance   A Daily Mail production.
