In another debacle by the Crown Prosecution Service, Dave Lee Travis, the venerable radio presenter, has been acquitted of twelve of fourteen counts of indecent assault, with the jury unable to reach verdicts on the other  two charges against him.

As a correspondent observed recently, CPS appears to stand for ‘Couldn’t Prosecute Satan’. However the comedic side of all this is removed when one considers the financial burden of proving their innocence for William Roache, Michael  Le Vell, and now DLT, and alongside that the cost to the public purse of these lengthy and abortive trials.

This is how the justice machine works in England, or rather, how it doesn’t.
