I think with those solid alibi's I would be wanting the lions share of the damages.
All the solicitors had to do to get proof was ask their employers for confirmation they were at their place of work at the time in question.

I certainly followed the wrong career path.

"Sussex Police confirmed it has paid the couple the £55,000 owed in damages, and law firm Howard Kennedy said it has billed the force an additional £145,000 in legal costs."

Maybe if the police had coughed up earlier the legal costs would be lower. Did they think they'd win?
