first on the scene

The driver appeared to be wearing her seat belt at the time of the crash but her injuries were obviously fatal, according to officers who arrived first on the scene, Williams said.

High turnover and a lack of training meant that prison staff first on the scene of a medical emergency tended to be inexperienced.

Another witness, a police officer among the first on the scene, testified Read said this was her fault and that she was responsible, although she didn’t say how she was responsible.

Bishop was among the first on the scene when they were found and protested his innocence throughout the police investigation and during his first trial.
