The more I hear/read about this case the more it seems to stink.
Quote:
Lawyers representing people who allege they were abused by Greville Janner have called for “consistency and transparency” after an elderly man with dementia had his sentence for child sex crimes greatly increased by the court of appeal.
Alison Saunders, the director of public prosecutions, decided in April not to charge the 86-year-old peer Labour peer on health grounds despite saying there was enough evidence to prosecute for 22 sex offences against nine people.
She is likely to face greater pressure after Lewis Hill, 90, who was convicted of historical offences against young boys, had his sentence increased from two years suspended to five years’ imprisonment after the solicitor general said the original punishment was unduly lenient.

I think we all need to know just how robust the medical evidence is.
