posted on 15/5/2020 12:05well they tried to over the Savile issue - donkeyhotee
but really his track record speaks for itself .
His notable cases were failing to prosecute in the Menezes and Tomlinson cases and prosecuting Chri Huhne .
In 2012 as DPP he led the investigation into why the CPS had dropped the case against Saville in 2009 when he was head of CPS .
From Wiki : -
He apologised for "shortcomings" in the handling of abuse claims. He said that the allegations had been "treated ... with a degree of caution which was neither justified nor required" and described the report as marking a " watershed moment .Prosecutions were not brought by the CPS in three cases due to the victims not supporting police action. An apology for "missing the opportunity to prosecute Savile in 2009" was made by the CPS.Principal Legal Advisor to the DPP, Alison Levitt QC concluded that Savile could have been prosecuted during his lifetime for offences against at least three (of the four) victims. When interviewed under caution by Surrey police in 2009, Savile referred to the allegations as an "occupational hazard", saying to have previously sued five newspapers.
