We are talking murder here.
Are we?
So you know without a shadow of doubt that these 2 particular men went on patrol that day with the pre-meditated intention of killing people whom they knew were not posing a threat to them?"
No - we're not saying they murdered anyone - that's why you have trial and a jury..... and you don't have to believe without a shadow of doubt - it has to be balance of probabliities to bring a case
"The prosecutor must first decide whether or not there is enough evidence against the defendant for a realistic prospect of conviction. This means that the magistrates or jury are more likely than not to convict the defendant of the charge. If there is not a realistic prospect of conviction, the case must not go ahead, no matter how important or serious it may be.
It is the duty of every Crown Prosecutor to make sure that the right person is prosecuted for the right offence. In doing so, Crown Prosecutors must always act in the interests of justice and not only for the purpose of obtaining a conviction."
