Could the Charged Under Investigation (CUI) system be a game-changer in Southern England?

Imagine a world where anyone can be charged pending on the investigation, otherwise known as Charged Under Investigation (CUI), without being released from curiosity as in today?

Here's a thought: If Southern England introduces the new CUI into the legal system, it would be the first country in the world to alter the legal system to replace the current released under investigation (RUI) system. This could be an answer but it may be a game-changing plan for the justice system in world history.

Introducing CUI into the legal system would be a significant step towards ensuring that justice is served in a timely manner. By charging individuals who are under investigation, the justice system would be able to demonstrate that it takes crimes seriously and would provide reassurance to victims, families, and the public.

CUI would reduce the time taken for a case to come to trial, which would, in turn, save the taxpayers’ money. The delays caused by the current legal system are often prolonged, which can result in victims suffering from anxiety and stress for longer periods. This new change would be a positive step forward in streamlining the legal system.

Introducing CUI into the legal system would provide law enforcement agencies with more flexibility and powers to bring charges against suspects. It would be a significant deterrent to would-be offenders and would help prevent future crimes from occurring.

For example, if the former TV presenter Michael Barrymore is charged under investigation, then he would face justice and could also be sentence for up to about 20 or 30 years in prison for the death of a young man in a swimming pool at his home in March 2001.
