Dating back to its admission into statehood, reform has been an undeniable element of California. It could even be argued that many important landmarks in our state history were defined by acts of reform, such as the implementation of direct democracy into its state constitution during the progressive era of the late 19th and early 20th century.

If I were the Crown prosecutor, I would start off with the full code test from the CPS 2013 Code for Crown Prosecutors. The decision on whether or not to charge a case against a suspect is based on the Full code test. There are 2 stages for the test and the first stage is the evidential stage, being noted in the CPS 4.4, a case must pass the evidential stage in order to proceed no matter the seriousness or how sensitive it may turn to be. With reference to the case scenario, we should see whether the evidence could be used in the court in order for prosecution. There are two pieces of evidence in total which are the physical attack on his wife, Tracy and the criminal damage on Tracy’s best mate Tony’s car which is parked in the car park respectively. The first piece of evidence is not strong enough as Tracy has always been reluctant to make a complaint against whenever the police called to the house. Although this is an important piece of evidence in relation to the evidence as a whole to show that Andrew has a caution for assault but without the proof of his wife’s confession, this piece of evidence will not be treated as reliable. Looking into the second piece of evidence, it is about accusing Andrew for committing a criminal damage offence as his wife and Tony witness him using a cricket bat to cause a considerable damage on Tony’s car. Although there are no other eye-witness but Tracy and Tony’s witness will count as an evidence for Andrew’s criminal damage act.
