Stand by for lots more unsubstantiated allegations.
Eventually the CPS will have to decide. Or we have a Statute of Limitaions for some crimes (not murder of course).
Mrs madf and I have discussed it fairly thoroughly and the allegations are barely credible - especially given the social scene at the time of the alleged offences. The CPS acts as if it has unlimited resources... which it does not have..
Two lengthy trials and the combined jury time is under a week tells you what a shambles it has been. In any normal life, whomever authorised it would be now demoted and reduced to a position where they make no value judgements.
If the comments of the previous head of the CPS - Keith Starmer - on the treatment of rape cases are typical of the culture and thinking of the organisation, I am not surprised that not guilty verdicts have been given.
Edit . see the Paul Chambers case.. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keir_Starmer
