Not being a crown court practitioner I am unaware of the legal niceties involved in guilty after trial murder defendants being ordered to pay prosecution costs. I would hazard a guess that for various reasons it rarely happens or perhaps is rarely reported except perhaps in the legal press.
However a high ranking member of the Saudi Arabian family that rules that land was recently convicted in London of the brutal murder with sexual overtones of his servant. It is reported that he has been given until Jan 17th 2011 to pay the prosecution costs of £63,763 in addition of course to his defence costs. Perhaps that principle should be applied in its totality to other multi millionaire miscreants who fail to be acquitted at crown court.
