What a huge waste of public money

We can all babble on but fundamentally unless the accused or the victim come out with more what can be done to make the CPS tell us more about why the evidence was sufficient to take it to court? Is there any route to challenge?

Is it psosible to obatin the court bundles of evidence?

I am stil lsceptical that there wasn't more to it but I am sure we would all liek to know all of the evidence.

There are the newspaper reports and the accused has been on TV. There really doesn't appear more than the 'victims' claims and the CCTV.

I keep coming back to the overzealous PC mantra of the CPS that the female 'victim' must be believed regardless of the evidence to the contrary.

The CPS took over a private prosecution against Eleanor de Freitas for perverting the course of justice over an alleged false rape claim. The DPP (the same one as now) was very clear the prosecution of her was justified after she Eleanor killed herself, because, and this is a reoccurring theme, both the tests were met.

You can't give them credit for something they failed to instigate themselves.

Of course - there is no way to corroborate the rumours - unless the person themselves comes clean or the CPS decide to prosecute for PCOJ or similar - the person named may well be innocent themselves.

She won't be, because it would be to embarrassing to the CPS. They had the CCTV and chose to ignore it and believe her instead.

The CPS don't investigate. They review the evidence gathered and prosecute.

You need to understand the difference between instigate and investigate ....

What's your excuse for these prosecutions, including nearly all they instigated?

From the article:

"The CPS said it did not collate figures on how many individuals have been prosecuted for allegedly making false rape allegations."

Why is that I wonder?

And yet they went ahead despite even a cursory examination showing that it's bullst. Your 'additional safeguards' are worthless.

They're not mine. They belong to the accused.

Email his defence solicitor and ask him why he didn't apply to have the matter discontinued. It's easy to find him.

Wrong again. They did.

From the Telegraph article:

"The lawyer said: "Before the trial this storyboard was served to the CPS with a request that they review their decision to go ahead with the prosecution. They went ahead anyway. "


I suggest you stop trying to defend the indefensible.
