Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  He mihi: e kii ana a David Duckenfield kaore ia i whai waahi ki te tuku mihi mo te parekura o Hillsborough. I kī te rangatira pirihimana i te wā o te parekura o Hillsborough i tēnei rā, kāore anō ia kia whakapaingia mō te teka ki ngā apiha nā te mea 'kāore anō ia kia kitea he wā' hei mahi i tērā. I kii a David Duckenfield ki te tirotirohanga mo te matenga o nga kaiwhaiwhai 96 o Liverpool i te wa o te whiringa toa o te FA Cup i te Paenga-whawha o te tau 1989 kaore ia i korero mai na te mea i awangawanga ia mo te whakapohehe. I whakaae hoki te kaitiaki o mua kei te whakakahore pea ia mo tana korero pohehe i whakatuwherahia te kuwaha e nga kaiwhaiwhai, i arahi ai ki te tukinga mate i runga i nga papa o te papa o Sheffield. I mea ia ki te kaunihera he Freemason ia i te wā o te aitua, engari i mea ia e kore e tūmanakohia e ia he take i roto i tona whakatairanga ki te tūranga o te tumuaki. I whakakahoretia e ia tana whai wāhi ki tētahi 'whakako' i hangaia hei huri i te hara mai i te pirihimana mā te whakapā atu i te parekura ki te whanonga kino o ngā kaiwhaiwhai o Liverpool. Inanahi, i kii a Mr Duckenfield i 'whakamoemiti' ia ki nga whanau o nga patunga i mate i nga meneti tuatahi o te kemu i waenga o Liverpool me Nottingham Forest. I mua noa iho i te tīmatanga o te whutupaoro, ka whakahau te kaitiaki - kāore anō ia kia mātakitaki i tētahi kēmu whutupaoro nui i mua - kia whakatuwheratia tētahi kuwaha hei whakaiti i te tini o te hunga i waho o te papa whutupaoro, engari ka taea e tēnei te rerenga atu o ngā kaiwhaiwhai ki ngā papa kua oti kē te whakakii. I te tīmatanga o te matenga o ngā kaiwhaiwhai, ka kī a Mr Duckenfield ki ngā rangatira o te Rōpū Whutupaoro, 'kua uru mai ētahi kaiwhaiwhai i roto i tētahi kuwaha', e whakaae ana ia ināianei he 'he teka nui'. Ko Rajiv Menon QC, te roia mo nga whanau o nga patunga, i patai ki a ia he aha i roa ai ia mo nga tau 26 ki te 'whakatika' mo ana 'he hapa nui'. Ka whakahoki a Mr Duckenfield, 70, 'I taea pea e au te whakakahore, kaore ano hoki i kitea e au he waahi, he waahi ranei e taea ai e au te tutaki ki tetahi, me te korero pono ki a raatau, me te korero pono, me te whakarite kia tika te ripoata i aku whakaaro me aku whakaaro. 'Inanahi i homai e tēnei kōti ki ahau te whai wāhi ki te noho ki konei, me te ki te muru i tino mo te wa tuatahi, kahore...
Inanahi i tono mihi a David Duckenfield mō tana teka mō ngā kaiwhaiwhai i kōkiri i te ara ki te papa i te wā o te whiringa toa FA Cup. E mea ana kaore ia i whai waahi ki te'waahi, ki te whai waahi ranei' ki te korero pouri. E whakaatu ana i te kōrero a tōna whānau ki a ia i'teka ai ia i runga i te kore mahi' i runga i te kaupapa. E whakaae ana ia he Freemason ia engari e kii ana ehara i te mea i whakatairangahia ai ia. E whakakahore ana ki te'taupoki'i hangaia hei whakapae i nga kaiwhaiwhai o Liverpool mo te aitua.
