Couple’s anger as CPS drop attack charges on yobs

A COUPLE viciously attacked by a gang of yobs say they have lost all faith in the criminal justice system after the case was dropped.

Maria and Jeff Readman from Thornaby were both left with lifelong injuries from the horrific assault in September 2007.

Their son Ryan, who was 15 at the time, was beaten as he tried to shield his mother.

The family, and another girl who was punched at the scene, identified the same man and several witnesses came forward to give statements to the police.

But they have been left devastated and disillusioned after the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) revealed it was no longer proceeding with the case.

so what evidence does the CPS need or require, i guess a dead body, oh but I forgot then a body will not be able to give evidence. This is a joke, tell me.
woudl CPS consider talking this case to the court if it was someone celebrity or his or her own family?
