Perhaps NJ could help. Could a judge decide that the evidence for murder was not sound, and then direct the jury to find 'not guilty'? Perhaps on the grounds of a 'self-defence' argument?

NJ and PP. Thanks for your contributions.
I'm not going down the Jeffries avenue in detail for lack of plot space.
I know there has been criticism of the CPS for bringing cases to court that should not have been. That is something I mean to cover, but probably not in detail; it was just one of those things that happen for some reason ABers (and the general public) think is a disgrace. NJ; why do things like that happen? What's wrong with the CPS?
Question Author
BTW, if I get to publish eventually I shall mention NJ and PP in my acknowlegments and thanks!
as NJ says, what is the case for the prosecution?
Question Author
jno; That's the question I am hoping to get a steer on from NJ. This is a work of fiction, and the reason he is on trial is to produce a good story. I just would like to have a plausible scenario as to how it came to this.
I am flattered thank you

oh I wrote to the appallingly awful Allison Saunders asking for a review of a case which was acquitted in seven minutes ( judge commented at the time) - as a juror you will know this is hardly enough time to sit down and introduce yourselves

and she airily said - oh the CPS thought it wd get up and run

she now has a very VERY highly paid job in private criminal law
