Just to remind you of the devastating final paragraph of HHJ Taylor's ruling in my aborted trial last year. To paraphrase, it says that whether deliberate lies or mere incompetence and cutting corners, bad police work can be lethal, not least because it destroys public confidence in police behaviour. I would suggest, after Carl Beech, this has declined even further.

I stress further that the fact that I was misled and made a judgment which I would not otherwise have done is not considered in the balance as a personal matter, but in relation to the effect of the failures and the overall effect on public confidence. To allow the misleading of the Court on important procedural decisions , deliberate or otherwise, to pass would give rise to a belief that in this type of case, where there are sexual allegations against figures in the public eye, and public interest is engaged, the Courts are prepared to sanction the end justifying the means.
