This is the scandal caused by RUI (Release Under Investigation):

1. The govt tightened the use of police bail to score cheap headlines

2. Thousands of suspected violent & sex offenders RUI’d with no conditions

3. Underresourced police take years to investigate alleged offences
4. Underresourced Crown Prosecution Service take months to make a charging decision

5. Defendants summonsed to court for a first appearance 6 months later

6. Trial listed in the Crown Court a year later due to lack of open courtrooms

7. Trial inevitably adjourned because of 6.
8. Three years down the line, witnesses lose heart and the case ends up being dropped on the fourth trial listing. No justice for anyone.
