Prosecutor Tom Little KC told jurors that Mr Blake's decision to use lethal force was "not reasonably justified or justifiable".

"We get a sense that we give too many handballs for actions that are quite normal and justifiable," said Webb.

The Mental Health Act Code of Practice says there are circumstances “in which it is both justifiable and important to share otherwise confidential patient information with people outside the immediate team treating a patient”.
