Can the CPS give out that information to the accused?

Question

An aquaintance of mine said the CPS threw a case out because the person who was accusing him of a very serious offence gave the police six different versions of what happened. I thought this information would be confidential and the words "not enough evidence" would be given on both sides.

Answer 1

I am pretty sure the accuser/witness's details are freely available to the defence - probably the reason why people won't get involved.

Answer 2

In most states CPS are working closely with law inforcement and if someone is giving six different versions of something then it raises questions that need answers. CPS think they own the world so do some research and get more imfo.

Answer 3

No. reviews made to CPS are saved nameless for many, obtrusive motives. they decide on human beings to experience risk-free to make reviews without fearing retribution. I artwork for an company that generally makes reviews to CPS, and if we call to persist with up on a document they'd't even make particular that they gained our preliminary call. whether I actually only have been given off the telephone with somebody there and make contact with lower back to grant one greater piece of recommendation, they gained't renowned that they only talked to me on the telephone.

Answer 4

I thought the only thing they could tell was what the accused was being invetsigated for? And or if they have a name of the person who called in? And the person doesn't mind being identified?

Answer 5

The only thing CPS cannot give out is the name of the accuser. (At least they are not supposed to)

Answer 6

It probably was somewhat indiscreet on their part. They have a very restricted choice of formula and I agree that "insufficient evidence" would have done the trick.

Answer 7

Am suprised it even got that far.
