Sounds like he was quite unwell to the point of needing to go to hospital, witnesses claim he was struck and kicked on the ground and tasered three times.
I guess ultimately someone thinks it's got a chance of sticking.
Not necessarily.I guess ultimately someone thinks it's got a chance of sticking.
A colleague of mine was prosecuted, some suggest to take the pressure off senior officers in the force, but I could not possibly say. The decision of the CPS took years. At the pre-trial hearing the judge told the defence briefs that the cases would go nowhere and advised the CPS against continuing. It went on. At the Old Bailey, the judge dismissed the case, with some observations to the CPS, after representations from the defence before the case started.
My mate had his career ruined, lost £000s, had to move away, and he suffered from clinical depression.
I heard some say that the CPS was leaned upon, but that, obviously, can't be right.
There was someone very posh involved, but I'm sure that's not relevant.
What is relevant is that I saw the disclosure against my friend. At the time my role was assessing evidence in prosecutions. Had it been anyone else, one of my staff would have rejected it and put a note on my desk. The evidence was that faulty.
I doubt anyone thought there'd be a chance of the prosecutions sticking.
It went ahead until someone took responsibility and binned it.

The most disgusting detail of that story is right at the end, imho"Both defendants are next expected to appear in court on 9 December. However, a hearing on Wednesday will decide whether they can be named following an application by the media."
Vile.

Seems odd to me, police do not taser people for no reason, the police give big warnings before using and are highly trained.

Doesn't sound like it could possibly be murder^ to me:
"the unlawful premeditated killing of one human being by another"
TX.
^unless the chap had planned it for months and was stalking him too
Pre-meditation isn’t required. "the unlawful premeditated killing of one human being by another"
TX.
^unless the chap had planned it for months and was stalking him too
Basically killing someone with intent to kill or cause GBH.
I can’t remember the exact definition without looking it up but it’s basically that.

How was this not murder then ?
The victim didn't die. How was this not murder then ?
