Interesting comments by the judge.

[SophoclesTheFox]

At a previous hearing, the court was told Mr Jackson's father, Peter, had used his retirement fund to help finance his son's defence costs

Raiding daddy's pension pot - keeping it classy, Paddy.

I hope he is kept awake at night wondering how he's going to pay it all back. Somehow I doubt it, though. He doesn't strike me as someone with much in the way of a conscience.

[Pennydrew142]

Well that is something. They’ve got contracts elsewhere so that bastard can pay Daddy back

[BernardBlacksWineIcelolly]

good

If they had won, who would have paid their costs? The victim or the taxpayer?

[mikado1]

The taxpayer. The first lot of replies made me smile, despite the whole sorry thing.

[Nettlescoop]

Good, but still feels as if justice has not been served.

[MadeForThis]

The judge definitely didn't celebrate them as innocent men.
