A prosecutor had properly assessed the expert and non-expert evidence when making a decision not to prosecute a police officer, on the basis that there was no realistic prospect of a conviction for perverting the course of justice, perjury and misconduct in public office, in relation to the alleged fabrication of evidence during a murder investigation.
