RIP Rob Jefferies

There is a thread under general where myself and others have criticised the BC article as poor journalism and pointed to a general lack of understanding of the judicial system in the UK.

However, while I would like to argue that the judicial system is a mess I would struggle to argue with the concept that the CPS is struggling. They are understaffed, underfunded and overloaded. I speak of the CPS from very personal and tragic personal experience. Something that I am willing to discuss in person, but not on here.

RIP Rob, a man who I never met who stood for several things I believe in. I hope that his family, friends and his killer are able to recover from this most awful of events and lead long, good and happy lives.

I have also had a quite a bit of experience with the cps, so I have more of an idea than most. Unfortunately.
