This is like a house breaker accidentally setting off an alarm then stopping what he was doing and providing a lame excuse when the police arrived.

Cuthbert changed his story during the proceedings. Presumably on the advice of his lawyers.

This is clearly the online equivalent of all the real world criminals who get off lightly due to technicalities.

We all know they're lying scumbags and we all know their intentions are dishonourable but unfortunately if they are pre-emptively caught there's nothing we can do but rap their knuckles.
