CRIMINALLY STUPID OF POLICE AND CPS TO MAKE AN EXAMPLE OF CAROLINE FLACK

LADY

Gaga was teetering around a supermarket in California this week in heels, a full ball gown and pink hair. But when a punter spotted her and whipped out her phone to take a pic, Gaga’s security guards asked her not to tell other people in the store. Like they wouldn’t notice?

I SAID it before she killed herself and I’ll say it again:Why were the police and the CPS so determined to prosecute Caroline Flack?

Every day kids are knifed to death so why aren’t cops using what little time and resources they have catching killers not pursuing a celebrity scalp for a “domestic”?

I remain convinced that had Caroline Flack NOT been a TV star this case would never have been earmarked for court. But recently the CPS has been criticised because it prosecuted just 10 per cent of the reported 750,000 domestic abuse incidents last year. So for them to take down a big name celeb like Caroline would have made it look like they were getting tough. The problem is getting tough with someone who’s mentally ill isn’t clever. The CPS knew about Caroline’s issues because they saw the state of her flat after the incident where it’s thought she may have self-harmed. They knew she’d threatened to kill herself. They knew she’d rung the Attorney General’s office begging for the case to be stopped because video taken by cops at the scene would have almost certainly finished her professionally and personally.

Would it really have been in the public interest for her issues to be shown on video in open court?

And how come the CPS dropped an assault charge against ex-Manchester Utd star Nicky Butt, accused of assaulting his estranged wife Shelley Barlow, who point-blank refused to go into the witness box?Yet they pursued Caroline despite the fact her boyfriend didn’t want them to.

If we’re going to keep saying that mental health matters, surely with a clearly tormented soul like Caroline there should have been both discretion and compassion?
