I am not questioning that. The DPP made her decision on the basis that she has to bring a case to trial she thinks she can win. I know anecdotally from the area that, for example, the aircrew involved in the rescue of Ms Lucas were not interviewed by the accident investigation board. If there are others who were not interviewed, and I understand there are, then perhaps the DPP did not have sufficient evidence, which was available.
