The Government can appeal an aquittal in Britain?


Not as far as I'm aware. Same double jeopardy rule.

But Paul is wrong. Martin was convicted of murder, not
acquitted. He appealed and the conviction was reduced to
manslaughter. He is right about the substantial public
support, especially in the shires where (as it happens) my
parents live.
