英国23岁女性露西·哈里森于2025年1月10日在美国得州被父亲克里斯·哈里森枪杀身亡[1]。尽管得州大陪审团去年决定不予起诉[1]，但英国郡验尸官今年裁定该案属非法杀害，克里斯·哈里森的行为构成过失杀人[1]。克里斯·哈里森承认持有手枪，但从未被逮捕[1]。警察发现其呼吸中有酒精味，但未进行酒精测试[1]。
露西的母亲简·科茨已致函英国外交大臣艾德·米利班德，敦促其通过外交渠道推动美国当局重新开启调查[1]。科茨在信中表示："英国政府可以利用适当的外交渠道关注验尸官的结论"[1]。前司法大臣罗伯特·巴克兰德亦表示："这个案件必须在美国重新开启"[1]。克里斯·哈里森两年前曾以500美元（折合370英镑）从同事处购得该手枪[1]。
Jane Coates, mother of 23-year-old Lucy Harrison, has written to British Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband requesting that he use diplomatic channels to prompt American authorities to reopen an investigation into her daughter's death [1]. Lucy was fatally shot by her father, Kris Harrison, in Texas on January 10, 2025 [1]. Although a Texas grand jury decided not to prosecute last year, a British coroner this year ruled that Lucy died unlawfully, determining that Kris Harrison's actions constituted manslaughter [1].
In her letter, Coates stated that "the British government can use appropriate diplomatic channels to draw attention to the coroner's conclusions" [1]. Kris Harrison admitted to possessing a handgun but has never been arrested [1]. According to authorities, he purchased the weapon two years prior from a colleague for $500 (£370) [1]. Police officers who attended the scene detected alcohol on Harrison's breath, though no breathalyzer test was administered [1]. Former Justice Secretary Robert Buckland commented that "this case must be reopened in America" [1].
