More than over 30 years since the Bamber case there continues to be a serious problem with disclosure within the cps
The question is WHY?
Rape Case Evidence Scandal Blamed On Poor Leadership At CPS
Director of public prosecutions Alison Saunders is due to leave her post at the end of the year.
Director of Public Prosecutions Alison Saunders, who is to stand down in the autumn at the end of her five year term of office
Failings that saw vital evidence withheld from lawyers in rape and sexual assault cases have been blamed on the outgoing director of public prosecutions, Alison Saunders.
MPs sitting on the Justice Committee slammed “insufficient focus and leadership” that left issues unresolved, and said Saunders did not see “the extent and seriousness” of slip-ups which left defence lawyers without key information.
A report published on Friday also concludes the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) may have underestimated the number of cases stopped because of disclosure errors by 90%.

I saw that Jackie. These so-called leaders don't live in the real world with many not fit to oversee or foresee what has now become the worst shambles this century.
After all these years it appears that the withholding of evidence from the defence during a trial has only recently become evident that in many cases creates the many MOJ's in existence ::) Doesn't take much working out does it ? What do people in these high positions do ?
