He IS going to have to go to a retrial! - can you believe it? Vindictiveness, but have the CPS gone too far on this now?
I doubt public opinion will agree with this decision, and if he is found not guilty again, the CPS will face a huge backlash.
My fears are for DLT, who once again has to find considerable money to fund this - is it legal to form a support fund to pay his costs??
Their desperate to get him by hook or by crook. Because they weren't able to find him 'innocent' beyond reasonable doubt I bet.
I am so glad that they are doing all they can to take dangerous character's like Dave Lee Travis off the streets - meanwhile doing all they can to let obviously harmless ones like Amanda Knox walk free...

JK NAILS it!
" I'd call all my acquitted "victims" to give evidence about police tactics ("how they helped me imagine details"). "
And, check JK's worthy ally Bob Woffinden who helped expose bent-Cops/Nth wales the first force 'Trawling For LIES', as early as 1991!
23 years - and counting...

Well, if the CPS think they warrant a retrial, fair enough, they should have one. But have they taken into consideration the enormous publicity over his acquittal? Surely any jury will know about that and be tempted to acquit again?
Juries never really know - they take a calculated guess (based on the evidence presented to them). They never really know if they have been lied to, or deceived (either accidentally or deliberately).
What the new Jury WILL know is that a previous Jury failed to find enough evidence to convict but did acquit on numerous other charges. Surely, then, the balance of probabilties says that if someone is innocent of the vast majority of charges its also highly likely they are innocent of a further two?
This is a vindictive prosecution at best ... what will it achieve?
Even if DLT was found guilty its only likely he would be fined, AND there would always be a doubt over the decision.
Well said.
When JK was found guilty juries possibly still thought people would never make up such things.Now of course the media has shown us enough information to make us realize that fame/compo/cover ups etc do go on,and that police are more than capable of lying.
The CPS is digging itself a grave here,so desperate for a jury to convict on any small thing.
