Verdict
DC Burrell cleared on the orders of the judge. DS Evans and DC Whitby found not guilty.
Joy Angelia Gardner (née Burke, 29 May 1953 – 1 August 1993) was a 40-year-old Jamaican mature student living in London, England, United Kingdom.[1] Gardner died after being detained during a police immigration raid on her home in Crouch End, when she was restrained with handcuffs and leather straps and gagged with a 13-foot length of adhesive tape wrapped around her head.[2] Unable to breathe, she collapsed and suffered brain damage due to asphyxia.[3] She was placed on life support but died following a cardiac arrest four days later.[4] In 1995, three of the police officers involved stood trial for Gardner's manslaughter, but were acquitted.[5]
The case became a cause célèbre for civil rights and justice campaigners, and for the first time brought wide public attention to what the Modern Law Review called "the inhumanity of the methods used routinely in the execution of deportation orders".[6][7] Despite continuing pressure by campaigners, no coroner's inquest or public inquiry into the circumstances of Gardner's death has been held.[8]
