To whom, I'm just showing in an off topic thread what can happen should libel cases go wrong.

Oh Dear, what is the point anymore?  This decision will not be reversed.  The Media outlets admitted culpability without even going into Court.

let’s see exactly what it says in the report then.

All 4,"In the Footsteps of killers" CPS wouldn't take it to court, do process not followed, trial by media already. its there if you look.

Right, so they didn’t say he would never face charges, thanks for comfirming.

The lead detective of the second investigation was asked why he (JC) wasn't charged, his answer was that a judge said he would not get a fair trial because of the trial by media and do process was not followed, that can never go away a half decent defence would use it, hence the CPS would not convict, once again the wonderful MET fecked up.

So he'll never face charges over the Lamplugh case and didn't .

No, using your langiage, the Media fecked up, NOT the MET.

And history might be repeating itself with CB's case.

Well, both the police & Suzy's family f*cked up a bit really.

Police officer missed chance to nail Suzy Lamplugh’s ‘killer’ John Cannan because he fell out with her mum and ‘failed to check alibi’

Det Supt Malcolm Hackett’s view of 'Mr Kipper' suspect John Cannan was prejudiced by his belief Diana Lamplugh was behind media stories, according to official review

It’s “due” process not do process.  If JC had confessed are you telling me he would have got off then?

He did confess, then immediately retracted.

The problem is the case against him was weak.

Suzy's dna in his car proves only that she'd been in that car at some point, not when, the police never found the photo of Suzy tied up in the back of it, unlike with Brueckner, Maddie & whichever of his vehicles you care to choose.

How about dew process, you'll have to ask the CPS about the second point . Bellfield allegedly confessed to the Russel murders, that it seems is bull , so even if JC were to confess could it have been heard ?

No, it’s not dew process, not do process, nor Jew process, but due process.  I guess it’s only in Portugal where a confession without any other evidence is sufficient for charges to be brought then.

Well, you'd guess wrongly, Michael Stone was convicted on the strength of hearsay evidence.

Did Michael Stone confess?  I was not aware that he had.
