spending prosecutorial time and money on a trial that can’t lead to a conviction means that other offences (for which people could be convicted) won’t be prosecuted.
If that’s right, surely the message that the establishment are not untouchable should be sent out…and may prevent more crime in the future?
It’s not a waste of time his victims need justice even if it is late in the day
the law doesn’t have emotion, when he goes to stand trial there will be a hearing to see if he is fit to and in all likely hood he won’t be given his current medical issues. The only reason its gone this far is purely down to public outrage swaying the courts which is pretty wrong.
Or Justice has to be seen to be done: in this case the Judge and Court seeing the actual state of the alleged. Who then went home for a nice ice cream and oblivion.
