Our thanks to Sean for this. The start of the piece:
More than 900 criminal cases were dropped last year due to a failure by police or prosecutors to disclose evidence, it has been reported.
This marks a 70 per cent increase in the number of collapsed cases over the course of two years.
Figures reveal that 916 people had charges dropped last year due to a failure to disclose evidence – up from 537 in 2014-15 and 732 the following year.
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said the number of dropped cases represented just 0.15 per cent of the total number of prosecutions, but said there were still “systemic disclosure issues”.
The investigation comes after the high-profile collapse of several rape trials, with Scotland Yard announcing a review of its sex crime investigations after two rape cases were dropped in the space of a week in December.
The trial of Liam Allan, 22, was halted at Croydon Crown Court, while days later another prosecution collapsed against Isaac Itiary at Inner London Crown Court.
The figures were obtained under the Freedom of Information Act by the BBC. [Our emphasis]
You must check out the diagram in the article, comparing reported rapes and rape convictions since 2010. It’s a testament to Alison Saunders, and explains why she must be fired.
Well I don’t believe I’m writing this but well done BBC. First it shows the importance of FOI requests as I’m willing to bet this info is not otherwise collated by the Police and CPS so they can present the idea that its “isolated cases”. Somehow Hequal and or J4M&B and who and however one can, all of us, point out the obvious that the graph’s steep climb coincides with Alison Saunders and her and ACPOs “guidance” on investigation and prosecution of Sexual Offences. Do not presume its “bleedin’ obvious” as the official investigations are being side tracked by “Resources” or ” Not understanding modern tech.” These men have been “fitted up” by both services in accordance with the guidance issued by ACPO and CPS. It is “Systemic”, but they’re not yet getting its systemic deliberate policy yet.
Saunders and her ilk will be desperate to create all sorts of red herrings. And they may yet be successful because the VAWG Guidance is of a nature of “The Big Lie” so big that its unbelievable, the idea that the Police and CPS deliberately manipulate evidence (lie actually) as a matter of Policy.
