It seems to me, and has done for some years now, that there is, to an extent, a partial suspension of habeas corpus for some crimes. Rape in particular, as well as any sort of child abuse or murder. Given the seriousness of such charges extra care should be taken by the CPS in the preparation of cases. There is, of course, pressure for a result as there is in any endeavour, particularly when there is the hot light of publicity/ public interest or outrage.
I'd love to hear m'learned Travis's thoughts on the matter
