Despite VT's admission of manslaughter, I dare say that the jury will be aware (as we here all are) that LE managed to charge entirely the wrong person at the start of this year. I would therefore expect that they will (as indeed they should) demand a high level of proof.
I loved all the preceding part of this post Veggie, but you're mistaken in saying that CJ was charged. He was arrested, but most certainly was not charged. Since 1984 in England the police can legally arrest people on very slender grounds. It's charging that they need solid evidence for. If the public had read the Police and Criminal Evidence Act they would realise that being arrested is not, in the present state of English law, discreditable : it could happen to anyone.
If it is true that CJ is suing the police and if the case goes to court (which will surprise me quite a lot) we shall see on what grounds CJ was arrested. They will have to be tenuous indeed for him to win a case for false arrest.
(Just for the record, not that my opinions matter, I strongly disapprove of the Act in question and don't think the police ought to be able to arrest so easily. But at present they can.)
