I do also think that the mother of the boy totally destroyed the case for the prosecution

When the jurors are interviewed later tonight, they will probably say exactly that.

The mother was not a likable character at all.

I feel sad for the boy; he has to go back to a dysfunctional family, while the pedophile walks.

The mother was not a likable character at all.

That's almost British understatement. She was hostile, jumpy, arrogant and deceitful.
