Looking at the outcome of this case it is very bizzare that he was not given a manslaughter charge by the jury. The defence Barrister even stated in his final remark that a manslaughter at most should be sought. The Judge stated that a manslaughter was possible.

Comments from the media on the outcome are non existent .

What are options for the state's legal team in this case can they appeal or ask for a retrial on manslaughter ?

The Jury accepted on the evidence that it was self defence so that's it. The State can not appeal.

Seem to have been given a manslaughter charge "Mr Justice Tony Hunt explained that a verdict of manslaughter was open to them on two possible bases, including either that the accused had lacked the necessary mental intention or that he had used excessive self defence. He told them that if they reached this verdict, they must be agreed on the reason."
