"Director of public prosecutions Alison Saunders said: “Getting disclosure right is a fundamental part of a fair criminal justice system. Our analysis shows that in the vast majority of cases we are doing that.
“But there are cases where we are falling short – and that is unacceptable. I recognise the huge impact on individuals involved, and deeply regret every case where mistakes have been made.

“There is an unprecedented focus in finding solutions to these problems, which have dogged the criminal justice system for many years. There have been attempts to tackle it in the past, but improvements have not been lasting. We need to make it stick".
"Prosecutions chief Alison Saunders presided over an "
institutionalised culture of failure to disclose evidence", a victim of the shambles has told Sky News". In other words make it up as they go along to gain a conviction. And who provides the CPS with the EVIDENCE? The people that put the wrong street name on a photograph twice and the wrong arrival time at Gatwick airport.
More on the CPS and EVIDENCE.
"Committee chairman, Conservative MP Bob Neill, said the police and CPS often see the disclosure of evidence as an "administrative headache" - a view which was "not acceptable".
Mr Neill, a former barrister, added: "Disclosure failings are extremely damaging for those concerned and can have a permanent life-long impact.
"These failings have caused miscarriages of justice and - as the director of public prosecutions even admitted to us - some people have gone to prison as a result."
The committee found failings in the "application of disclosure by police officers and prosecutors on the ground" and called for a culture change, so it was seen as a "core justice duty", rather than an "administrative add-on".
When it came to Ms Saunders, the committee said there was "insufficient focus and leadership" in dealing with the problem and that she "did not sufficiently recognise the extent and seriousness" of failures within the process".
"In January, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) ordered a review of more than 3,600 cases in England and Wales after four cases were thrown out of court due to a lack of disclosure".
Oh yeh the CPS have EVIDENCE. That's a definite clincher that 'Putin did it'.
I seem to remember that there was overwhelming EVIDENCE that Saddam Hussien had WMD that could be launched in 45 minutes at Britain. I forgot how that EVIDENCE went. Just remind me.
