From the little I've seen, and as I've said in another thread somewhere, success seems to be predicated on more convictions and not much else. All the talk of "specially qualified judges" seems to mean "judges who will convict more on the same evidence we currently acquit on".
It's a uniquely difficult crime to prosecute though.
...no amount of cajolery, and no attempts at ethical or social seduction, can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred for the Tory Party...So far as I am concerned they are lower than vermin.
