ummi // Any stats on how many people are wrongly accused and where the accused are named?//
If you write to the DPP as I have done, Alison Saunders ( for it is she ) would take the view that being found not guilty does NOT mean they have been wrongly accused....
just that the prosecution didnt succeed.
In terms of the acquitted accused, turning around and suing for damages in Libel or bringing a private prosecution for perjury or attempting to pervert the course of justice - the bar for that is very very high and there are very few. ? ten a year
for the above you need the victim to say something like - I lied to get the victim into trouble....
Josh Rozenberg this pm on pm said: "after a failed prosecution, the CPS always look very very hard at what went wrong....."
and I nearly fell off my chair with laughter.
They dont. Alison seems to say ( when she is told by someone like me, see above ) is " damn.... neeeeeext ! well the tax payer pays "
