File loss blunder in rape case

Wendell Baker
A man suspected of raping a woman 12 years ago cannot face prosecution, as the police have lost the case file.

A retrial cannot take place unless the original case file can be found.

blog it
The alleged victim died without satisfaction some seven years ago.
If you were guilty of speeding the police would have available every single piece of evidence imaginable.
Oh. The alleged victim was an elderly white woman. Is British Justice really colourblind?
