Where was I being sexist?? I only used "man" in reference to this one case in other words "a single innocent man" as it's the only case we've ever heard of.

Personally I wouldn't like to see the law changed as that opens up a defence in court, this though should never have gone as far as court.. As it's a slam dunk the CPS will always prosecute but how far do the police go in voiding a case like this and still stay within the law..

Derek can you personally think of any way as to what a police force could have done to prevent the case getting to court?
