One that got away!
Looks like the prosecution had not established a prior claim that this guy said he could cure cancer (yeah, right...) so they seem to have botched it.

Roy McKinnon, 62, a former Royal Bank of Scotland official, had been treating ill people including cancer patients with a battery powered "zapper" which he said could alter their DNA.

"After finishing my life as a banker I started to learn about alternative medicine. Now I regard myself as a teacher who can help others to understand their medical problems. I never said I could cure cancer."

Another Quote for what's the harm thread maybe?

Professor Edzard Ernst who headed the study said, "Cancer patients get confused in the maze of claims and counter-claims and often turn to the internet for information which can give advice that has led to real harm and even death in some cases."

Anyone send this to Bob Carroll's Skeptic's Dictionary yet? He has a "What's the harm?" section there too...
