      Read an article on it last week and IIRC the reasoning why the rule was in place was that they didn't think the public would go for the idea of people getting out on a technicality, and then being paid for the 'privilege'. Now obviously that's a bit daft, but I also think it goes against the very core of our judicial system in that 'innocent until proven guilty' right?
