The Judge is completely wrong in his statement here.

The Crown honestly needs to appeal the sentence, I'm hoping they're not satisfied here, its a big victory for Balfour and a big loss for the Crown and the victims.
Sorry, but the Crown could have got the same result without going to trial. The Judges statement is bang on, it was the Crowns decision to go forward with the expense and burden of a trial. I don't think it was a terrible decision, they couldn't see the end result when the decision was made, but it does rest with them.
