  The problem started when prosecutions moved from the police to the C P S .
  
  Crown prosecution service is politically controlled from Westminster.

  Yes indeed, a rum do.
  
  With me ol' 20:20s on. It would have been far more satisfactory if the main charge had been Manslaughter from the off.
  
  Then there would have been a greater chance of a guilty plea, and an ABH slam-dunk.
  
  Minimal court time and a truer picture of the incidents.
  Ignorance is bliss, bliss is happiness, I am happy...to draw your attention to the possible connectivity in the foregoing.
