But this is an issue regarding prosecution and the legal system, it doesn't matter about who the person is or how high profile they are, due process needs to be followed and every case needs to be treated with the same level of scrutiny, the cock ups that led to the failure to prosecute Saville were made at the level of procedure where no DPP should be involved in otherwise they would be bogged down by thousands of cases, hence there being a reviewing lawyer that is there to be the CPS overview.
I think it's fair to say there were issues with the 2013 guidance and the fallout of Operation Yewtree but those changes in guidance were made in response to the failures of the previous sets of guidance that ultimately enabled Saville to escape justice and hamstrung the Worboys case.
