Deputy state coroner CHRISTINE CLEMENTS found in September Senior Sergeant CHRIS HURLEY
struck MULRUNJI DOOMADGEE .. and caused his fatal injuries at the Palm Island police station

But DPP .. LEANNE CLARE .. says charges won't be laid against the policeman .. who
was stood down from operational duties while the DPP considered the coroner's findings.

Ms CLARE says the evidence isn't capable of proving Senior Sergeant HURLEY is criminally
