Not being a lawyer, I have always wondered why an acquitted defendant was not able to reclaim the costs of his defence. I know that some villains with clever lawyers will benefit, but it has always seemed to me unjust in principle. If a lawyer reads this who thinks ordinary citizens ought to understand this, would s/he care to comment?
