Barristers warn of strain on defendants after Caroline Flack deathImpact of proceedings upon those with mental health issues should be considered, experts say Flack's death is heart-stopping, but the charges were serious, and if proven, could've resulted in a major sentence. That Burton withdrew his support for prosecution, likely means he expected an ominous outcome, more than he and Caroline could face? Ah, so now society has to mollycuddle defendants facing criminal charges? If this involved a man facing assault charges, would barristers and media carry the same tune? As long as the doctrine of 'innocent till found guilty' is applied, no one is obliged to do anything more. High profile defendants face a tabloid witch-hunt.

Caroline Flack: Crown Prosecution Service under fire for 'dogged pursuit' of TV star over domestic abuse chargesProsecutors who “doggedly” pursued Caroline Flack on domestic abuse charges were more interested in getting a "high profile scalp" than in satisfying the public interest, leading lawyers have suggested. The CPS and the investigating police officer (IPO), ought to be reviewed and both investigated, shocking and tragic... especially when Lewis wanted the case dropped and no charges. Utterly Awful. Domestic abuse is now just a Male preserve? She was an easy target. She should have just declared herself a muslim.....they wouldn’t have touched her.
