'Let's Have A Do-Over!'

A driver who crashed into a school leaving two girls dead is facing a fresh police investigation after a review uncovered flaws in the original inquiry.
Nuria Sajjad and Selena Lau, both eight, were killed when a Land Rover Defender smashed through a fence as children and staff attended an end-of-year tea party last July.
But driver Claire Freemantle, 47, faced no charges after it was claimed she had suffered an epileptic seizure at the wheel for the first time.

Can the Met Police get anything right first time? What a waste of time and money that first investigation was! 

Now Scotland Yard has reopened the case after a review revealed significant shortfalls in the way officers conducted the initial investigation into the crash at the Study Prep School in Wimbledon, south-west London. This includes consideration of medical evidence that led to the case being dropped.

Re-consideration, in fact. Were they too swayed by the status of the perpetrator, perhaps? Will we ever find out?
