Steve70 Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Has anyone seen the star this morning (1/7/10) The front page and 2nd page is about a murder trial that has been going on for 3 months and then the police / CPS have just dropped their case and offered no evidence so the six accused men are free. After £1,000,000 case 10 months in jail and the amount of upheavel it has caused the families involved, including the victims family who now have no answers to their loved ones murder , should anyone be brought to book for this blunder.

Hopefully the police will continue their investigation into who is responsible for this murder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plain Talker Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 does it say why they dropped it tho, there could be a good reason to why they dropped it, but might not be public According to the Star, mel, it's collapsed because some evidence, which could have helped the Defence, was not disclosed.

alex3659 Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 does it say why they dropped it tho, there could be a good reason to why they dropped it, but might not be public Police not doing their job properly, withholding evidence that could help the defence. In other words going all out to convict the defendants regardless of the facts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daven Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Police not doing their job properly, withholding evidence that could help the defence.

You're rather quick to jump on the 'police not doing their job properly' since the public are not yet in full possession of the facts surrounding this announcement. Since when have the police been responsible for convicting anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greybeard Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Are the police to blame...or the CPS ? More likely to be the latter I suspect. Lawyers are usually at the root of the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I am, the police provide the evidence to the CPS, and a 3 month trial falling apart means they didn't do their job sufficient enough to warrant the million pounds wated on the trial. Evidence has been withheld anyway wether by the police or CPS who all crap in the same pot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
