in april 2015, saunders was criticized for her decision not to prosecute greville janner on child sexual abuse charges despite his meeting the evidential test for prosecution, citing his poor health, as well as for dropping charges against nine journalists as part of the operation elveden case. saunders defended herself saying, "i’m not here to make popular decisions. i always feel under pressure to make the right decision." in june 2015, "the guardian" reported that, following a review, the decision not to prosecute lord janner would in fact be overturned. simon danczuk, then mp for rochdale, told the guardian that "if the report is accurate, saunders will now have to consider her position" as a result of the scrutiny that her initial decision would now be placed under. the decision marks the first time a dpp has had a major prosecuting decision reviewed and overturned. amid calls for her resignation, she told the bbc that she would not resign. saunders blamed failings within her department and the police for the collapse of three different police inquiries between 1991 and 2007. theresa may (then the home secretary, later prime minister) said in a radio interview: “i was very concerned when i heard about this decision. it is not my decision, it is entirely a decision for the director of public prosecutions.”
