04. อ
1. WE HAVE NOW CONSIDERED THE TWO SAMPLE FILES BROUGHT BY THE
ATTORNEY-GENERAL.
2. FOR THESE TWO CASES WE WOULD BE PREPARED TO INVOKE CR55,
AND IN GENERAL ARE QUITE SATISFIED WITH BOTH THE MATERIAL AND
ITS PRESENTATION. IT WOULD HOWEVER BE HELPFUL IN FUTURE CASES
TO HAVE DETAILS OF THE SUSPECT'S SALARY.
3. WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR YOUR OFFER OF ASSISTANCE, BUT
OUR ESTIMATE IS THAT, PROVIDED WE COULD HAVE ALL OUTSTANDING FILES BY CASTER, WE WOULD BE ABLE, FROM WITHIN OUR OWN RESOURCES,
TO MEET YOUR DEADLINE
4. THE TIMING OF THE ANNOUNCEMENT AND THE QUESTION OF WHETHER TO
ACT AGAINST ALL INVOLVED AT ONE TIME MUST, WE AGREE, BE LEFT TO YOUR JUDGEMENT. WE FEEL THAT PERHAPS A SINGLE OPERATION
WOULD IN THE END BE LESS TRAUMATIC.
