First, it discussed the many, many mental health issues Greg had shown all throughout this whole thing.

Yet still, despite all of the red flags that police clearly saw, despite his history of violence and threatening the lives of those around him, he was always let out, always given bail, and always given these orders despite the courts knowing very well that he wasn't going to follow through.

This inquest also found that a former roommate of Greg's had also taken order of protection out against him.

Police had reportedly been searching for him, unable to find him to serve him his order.

After learning of his address, four officers went to the home to serve him with the order.
