Honestly, AGC should take the rap for this. CPIB investigates, makes recommendation etc. But AGC is THE final authority to decide if case goes to court. Quite obviously, both parties weren't meticulous enough. How else to explain the embarrassment in court? They were also too complacent, believing they could tame CS. End of the day, CS spitted on their faces! Her mouth not only do BJ. Can spit saliva too.
Agree wif u on this one bro...must say i am flummoxed by wat has transpired...wld like to paste wat i posted in another thread below...think it may be relevant here as well...

Actually now i think it goes far beyond Teng n CPIB going by the press reports of Siva's oral decision...no doubt Siva rubbished Cecilia as a witness but while doing so he also relied on contemporaneous evidence i.e. the sms' n the cellphone conversations...
Bottom line AGC sld hv gone thru all the evidence including Cecilia's/NBG's statements, those critical sms' n cellphone transcripts, grilling Cecilia at the same time to test the 'outcome' n satisfy themselves first, before it finally went before Siva...this was just too high profile of a case not to do so...
Based on wat i read of Siva's oral decision, i think the AGC wld be ill advised to appeal...the gravamen of his decision appears to lie on Cecilia n NBG's evidence in court...dont think CA wld overturn such a decision so easily...
I hold up my hand n say i got it wrong...personally hold the CP n the AG(at the material time) in v high regard(still do regardless of wat has happened), so tot this case wld not turn out there way it appears to hv done...no doubt DPPTan who prosecuted has to take some responsibility but like i said abv, in such a high profile case such as this one, surely it wld hv been incumbent upon the the CP n AG to sign off on it as well?...
Steven must be scrambling now together wif Adeit to do some serious damage limitation...particularly wif the other matters still on going...
