l LIKE RW Tucker, I too was rather baffled and dismayed that the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) dropped charges of failing to stop and report an accident against Carol Glynn.
Nonetheless, although they tend not to be precisely the “crème de la crème” of the legal profession, I should prefer such decisions to be in their hands rather than those of police officers.
As for ‘Mens Rea’, I presume that many perpetrators of accidents are in just as great a state of shock as their victims.
In this case though, the latter, one way or another, deserves a better deal.
