Original Note:
Misleading. While Starmer was head of the CPS when the decision was made not to prosecute Savile, he was not the reviewing lawyer for the case. An official investigation commissioned by Starmer criticised both prosecutors and police for their handling of the allegations. https://fullfact.org/online/keir-starmer-prosecute-jimmy-savile/
