Think politics & issue re-race meant there was no option but to charge the officer.He was charged. He very nearly went to prison for a long time, with the fate of the course of the rest of his life on the shoulders of 12 members of the public. They unanimously found him not guilty after only three hours deliberation, so it would look like a slam dunk dismissal from the outside.
Many experts who followed the case say it should never have been brought by the CPS.
