Very fair point. All the same, I think this is one of those areas where the wider debate about conviciton rates, case attrition etc. is always going to flare up, even if it doesn't directly relate to the case in question. That's certainly been my experience when studying this area of criminal law.

However bleak things seem, however insurmountable the darkness appears, remember that you have worth and nothing can take that away.
