LONDON (AP) — Families of 96 Liverpool soccer fans who died in a stadium overcrowding disaster in 1989 slammed a British judge’s decision to end the trial of two former police officers and an ex-lawyer on charges of perverting the course of justice. After four weeks of evidence, Judge William Davis said Wednesday he agreed with defense lawyers that there was no case jurors could properly consider. That decision also ends the families’ fight for justice for loved ones who died on April 15, 1989, during the crush at Hillsborough Stadium. The three men on trial were accused of amending police officers’ statements to minimize the blame that would be heaped on South Yorkshire police force
