Trial begins for Manchester arena bomb conspiracy theorist

The Manchester Arena attack not only physically but emotionally affected survivors like Martin and Eve Hibbert, who are now in court facing a man named Richard Hall. Hall claims that the devastating bombing was faked, causing further distress to the father and daughter who suffered life-changing injuries during the Ariana Grande concert in 2017. He even went as far as secretly filming them outside their home.

The High Court in London heard how Mr. Hibbert sustained a spinal cord injury and Miss Hibbert suffered catastrophic brain damage, leading responders to believe she was dead at the scene. Despite the overwhelming evidence, Hall continues to believe that the attack, which claimed the lives of 22 innocent people, was a government conspiracy with crisis actors.

The Hibberts’ lawyer expressed the deep impact the attack had on their lives and denounced Hall’s claims as “an elaborate hoax”. In a trial where 20 members of the public watched, the truth behind the tragedy and the Harberts’ suffering is being openly debated, with a decision expected soon.
