Not necessary to fully investigate rape cases??

[Casehardened]

I don't think many of us have much respect for the DPP director and here is another little gem from her which illustrates what has always been advised on this forum: the importance of doing one's own research and collating defence evidence.

But yesterday Mrs Saunders suggested photos and social media accounts did not need to be fully checked in rape cases, even though such evidence was crucial in clearing Mr Allan and other defendants.

She said police were obliged to pursue 'all reasonable lines of inquiry' but added: 'That doesn't mean going into every single avenue of your life.'

I saw this and it upset me, I'm currently awaiting trial and having massive issues with getting disclosure out of the CPS.

She clearly has no idea of the way her system works, or if she does then she's even worse, this whole process needs to change.
