Officers Report,
Dated, 13th June 1991
(COLP)
-----------------------
With regard to the decision to prosecute Julie David Adams to a principle Assistant director, whose name he could not decipher. The note was dated 5th december 1985.
He stated that following the receipt of advice from counsel he had reached the decision not to prosecute Julie Mugford:-
(a)
In relation to the drug offences, as the evidence against her was her own admission, there being no other direct evidence, and ther fact that as a first offender, Essex police policy would be to caution her for the offence
(b)
In relation to the burglary at Osea Park Caravan site, her only involvement had been an unsuccessful attempt to get the key thereafter she could only be considered a bystander. He concluded that the burgalry charge should be withdrawn.
(c)
In relation to the cheque offences, the money had been repaid, the bank did not wish to prosecute. There was no chance of a successful prosecution.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mr Swan stated that he could not give us a copy of the note as it was covered by Public interest Immunity. However, he offered to write us a letter outlining the decisions made and the reasons for those decisions.
It was agreed that this letter would suffice for our purposes.
