陪审团听取了一起案件的陈述：一名男子在警方羁押期间死亡，原因是值班护士“犯有刑事过失”，她以为该男子在假装昏迷，未能妥善检查其身体状况。
A jury has heard how a man died in police custody after a "criminally negligent" duty nurse assumed he was faking unconsciousness and failed to check his medical condition properly. William Cameron, 38, died of a heart attack caused by a mix of alcohol, methadone and other drugs after he was arrested on 8 January 2020, the Old Bailey heard.
旧贝利法院听审，38岁的威廉·卡梅伦于2020年1月8日被捕后，因酒精、美沙酮和其他药物共同作用而心脏病发作身亡。
Sean Cregg, 36, who was the designated Health Care Professional working at Loddon police station in Berkshire, denies a charge of gross negligent manslaughter. The jury has been told that, in addition to acquittal, they can also consider an alternative guilty verdict on a charge under the Health and Safety at Work Act.
36岁的肖恩·克雷格是伯克希尔郡洛登警察局指定的医疗保健专业人员，他否认自己犯有严重过失杀人罪。
Opening the prosecution, Zoe Johnson KC told the court how Cameron had been arrested at about 01:50 GMT after a row at the flat he shared with his partner Theresa Yearwood. Both of them, it was said, "lived somewhat chaotic lives due to their abuse of alcohol and other substances".
陪审团获告知，除了裁定被告无罪外，还可以考虑就一项依据《工作场所健康与安全法》提出的指控作出替代性有罪裁决。
Police officers were called and decided to arrest Cameron who was handcuffed and whose voice then became slurred. The jury was shown body-worn video of him being helped into the back of a police van. When they arrived at Loddon police station he was slumped in the van's cage.
控方开场陈述时，御用大律师佐伊·约翰逊向法庭表示，卡梅伦于格林尼治标准时间凌晨1时50分左右被捕，当时他正与“他本应被安置在复苏体位……这是大多数公众都知道的基本急救知识，”她补充道。
He was carried out of the vehicle and placed on a mat in a cell. The court heard how Cregg was called to make a medical check as Cameron lay on his front and motionless. The nurse sat in the dock making notes as the KC told the jury at this point Cameron was in a "life-threatening situation".
据称，其雇主Mountain Healthcare向克雷格发布的指引要求，无法行走或说话的被拘留者应立即送往医院。
But she claimed, "Cregg thought Mr Cameron was drunk and faking unconsciousness and did nothing". Cregg, she alleged, did conduct some tests including squeezing Cameron's trapezoid shoulder muscle, which made him groan, and shining a light into his eyes.
但检方称，克雷格任由卡梅伦俯卧在地，即使数小时后从牢门上的窥视孔望去，发现他仍毫无动静，也没有采取任何行动。
She said Cregg remarked "he has had something nice" which she said was a "flippant" comment that "speaks volumes about Cregg's attitude to the situation" and the man he owed a duty of care to.
法庭获悉：“这不是所谓‘在办公室遇上倒霉的一天’，而是肖恩·克雷格严重失职，最终导致威廉·卡梅伦死亡。”
"He should have been placed in the recovery position…basic first aid which most members of the public know", she added. Guidance issued to Cregg by his employer, Mountain Healthcare, called for detainees who could not walk or talk to be transferred to hospital immediately, it was said.
克雷格在向调查人员作出陈述时称，他认为卡梅伦“不愿配合警方或我”，并相信卡梅伦只是喝了酒，没有服用毒品。检方称，这是一句“旨在掩盖其灾难性不作为的谎言”。
But the KC claimed Cregg allowed Cameron to be left lying on his front and did nothing even when he looked through the cell door's spyhole and saw he was still motionless several hours later. "This was not an unfortunate 'bad day at the office'. This was a grossly negligent failure by Sean Cregg which led to the death of William Cameron," the court was told.
辩护律师塞尔瓦·拉马萨米出庭向陪审团表示，照护义务并非仅由克雷格一人承担，而是由警方羁押团队共同承担；克雷格做了他认为正确的事。辩方称，被告知道卡梅伦已经醉酒，但并不知道他服用了毒品。辩方主张，即使卡梅伦被送往医院，也仍有很大可能会死亡。本案预计将持续七周，目前仍在审理中。
In a statement to investigators, Cregg said he thought Cameron "had chosen not to engage with the police or myself" and he believed he had only consumed alcohol and not taken drugs. The prosecution described this as "a lie designed to cover up his catastrophic inaction". Defending, Selva Ramasamy KC told the jury the duty of care was not Cregg's alone. It was shared with the police custody team, and Cregg did what he thought was right, he said. The KC said the defendant was aware that Cameron was intoxicated but he was not aware that he had taken drugs. There is a real possibility Cameron would have died even if he had been taken to hospital, he claimed. The case, which is expected to last seven weeks, continues.
