Posted: 17:32 - 08 Jun 2005 Post subject: 159mph copper faces an appeal by the CPS |
|
|
Radio news reports CPS are to appeal against the decision to let off the policeman caught doing 159mph because he was testing the capabilities of the vehicle.
Previous BCF thread links on this subject here and here.
Also, as was pointed out by a colleague, if he wasn't on duty and not authorised to take the vehicle why didn't he face a charge of taking without consent?

I think the double jeapardy rules mean that you can't be convicted for the same crime twice.
For example, Hex vanishes, and I'm convicted for murder based on evidence that I didn't like his face.
I go down for 10 years.
Hex then reappears, and I kill him in broad daylight, by battering him with a massive dildo whilst screaming "arrrggghhh the monkey face is back!!!!".
Since I've already been convicted for his murder and served 10 years for it, I'm then immune from re-prosecution?
Something like that.
If however you're found innocent of a crime, and new evidence comes up later, I think you can be re-tried. Not sure though. ____________________ <Simple> no I'm shaven Jon
