What really disturbs me about the "extreme porn" case is that it appears there's no evidence he even saw the images in question. The police, whom he'd been active in prosecuting, Just Happened to know that he'd been sent some potentially incriminating images (by whom? is a valid question, given how easy it is to forge headers on emails) and Just Happened to access his email account before he'd had a chance to delete them and retrieve those images. I can't begin to describe how utterly dodgy that looks.

But that's bad enough. What's even worse is the CPS' complicity in this. It's as though the DPP has determined that the mission of the CPS should be to create as much future work for his previous field of activity as possible - and that's the kindest I can put it.

I hope to god that either the judge sees through this charade and excoriates the CPS for daring to present him with such an obviously politically-motivated prosecution, or the jury take umbrage with the whole idea of police fishing around in anyone's private life and toss out a not-guilty verdict within 5 minutes. As they are always entitled to do, even when the judge has directed them that the defendant is plainly guilty.

Agreed on all counts
