    The police don't find people innocent. Everyone is innocent until proven guilty. Their role is to decide whether there is sufficient evidence (along with the CPS where necessary) to bring a case to court. In a case where there is a single complainant and a single accused party, if the complainant subsequently withdraws the allegation then the police are powerless to act regardless of whatever evidence they may have previously accrued. Their main witness has decided no longer to commit. Hence my challenging of the phrase "drop the case". Charlie's argument now appears to rest solely with his whips office.

    The whole thing strikes me as a pretty sordid affair whatever your political leanings.
