The kids were screwed because of the video that showed what actually happened from beginning to end, so they couldn't lie their way out of it by saying "we didn't do nuffin". That's why he was acquitted, the jury saw for themselves what he had to endure before he finally snapped.
Remember it wasn't just this one occasion, these kids had been baiting him for months. Perhaps they'll think twice before they try it with anyone else.

True about the school but if I'm honest I can't drum up much sympathy for someone who would do that to a kid. He should have been sent down for it really. He obviously committed GBH with intent so he should have gone down for perhaps a smaller amount of time then usual given the cirumstances.
He did crack so they should have had him do the sentance in a mental health facility so that he doesn't brain anyone else in future.
