Ok so I took a step back over the past couple of days because quite frankly this thread was becoming too snidey with sly digs coming from all directions. However I have still been following the thread and trial and have a few thoughts which I shall go and type up now. Overall though I do think the the prosecution case is quite poor for everyone aside from NM. On fact I'm suprised the CPS allowed some of the charges...

I agree. I guess the problem is that the police send the case to the CPS so charges can be pressed before the entire case is put together. By the time the trial comes around, things could have moved on significantly and the case may look quite different. It's a shame the CPS aren't involved at a later stage as well to make a decision as to whether charges should still go ahead. It would be good to have that sense check on things to make sure that actually there is still a realistic prospect of conviction.
