Banana theft

The Crown Prosecution Service, it has been reported in the broadsheets, spent £20,000 on the trial of a man first accused and later acquitted of stealing a 25p banana form an Italian restaurant in Birmingham's Bull Ring shopping Centre before it opened at 8.45 a.m.
 District  Crown Prosecutor, Martin Lindop said 'It is not the Court that determines whether we proceed with a prosecution  but whether there  is sufficient evidence for a realistic prospect of conviction  and it is in the public interest'.
