One of the problems with "rule of law" is striking a balance between "punishing the bad guys" and "it is better that 100 guilty go free than 1 innocent man be punished." Every so often legislatures push the bounds of legality and the courts rein them in. That's what happened in this case. You may not like it, I definitely don't like it, however, in the long run it's both better and fairer...
