For a year it has looked like Alison Saunders, the former U.K. top prosecutor who withheld evidence from the defense in numerous rape cases, would not receive the nation’s top honor of damehood.
In December 2018, The Daily Wire reported that Saunders would be the first in her position as Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) to not receive the honor during their tenure or shortly after their departure. Saunders resigned last year after it was discovered that the Crown Prosecution Service withheld exculpatory evidence in multiple rape cases.
