It is now very clear that the SNT bolted the woefully legally deficient 'stalking and harassment' charge onto the crazy malicious damage charge, once they realized it wasn't going anywhere and then persuaded the CPS to change their mind.

This should all have been stopped at no cost to the public purse and now the overstretched criminal budget will have yet further unnecessary be clogged up and delayed even more.

At the hearing last week to dismiss that charges, it turned out it couldn't proceed because the police had not supplied a few critical pieces of evidence to the CPS so that they in turn could comply with the timetables - was it coincidence that it was evidence that would undermine their case? - yes totally!

Even more interestingly, they will not even confirm or deny weather or not there may have been an inappropriate previous relationship between the officer in case agenst me and the alleged victim, who physically assaulted me earlier this year.

This was then made worse because the judge decided that it wasn't important and criticized my lawyers for not having presented the application to dismiss anyway, contrary to the established legal rules and procedures regarding disclosure of evidence. 

Now my lawyers have to go for a full judicial review at great expense to the public and the whole time table also gets extended, and all the while much more urgent cases are postponed so both victims and perpetrators are disadvantaged, all because of this legal nonsense.
