No, it doesn't
and they don't need witnesses. What they need is solid case. They obviously haven't got one. Shit though might be in this case, there's no point blaming the police. We have a balanced justice system for a reason. If the CPS won't press then there is limited chance of a conviction.

But like you say, not a strong enough case.

So she's going back to him, despite seeking a formal charge against him for assault
Is it any wonder that the Police aren't willing to pursue the matter.

Never said that.
I said she was 'swithering'. Her resolve isn't as strong as we had hoped. But she is an intelligent girl who has the support of her family, so hopefully she will see it through.

it would serve you right if he hit her so hard that she bled to death in a crushed little heap
and then your wife got so depressed at losing her beloved sister that she realised life is too short to be stuck with a mean-spirited insufferable cat-killing cunt and left you though.

is that less tedious?
