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.
