because they would not have been prosecuted if they had not lied to police. 请帮忙解释这句话的意思.
Two Liverpool businessmen who bought the black-market cockles from Lin, David Anthony Eden, 63, and his son David Anthony Eden Jnr, 25, were cleared of breaching immigration law. But Mr Justice Henriques said that the two must pay their own defence costs - estimated at several hundred thousand pounds - because they would not have been prosecuted if they had not lied to police.

两个在黑市里从姓林的那里买了鸟蛤的利物浦商人,分别是63岁的大卫安东尼爱丁,和他25岁的儿子大卫安东尼爱丁爵,他们都明确违反了移民条例.贾斯汀恒瑞克先生说,他们二人不得不支付大约为七十万镑辩护费,但是如果当初他们没有对警察撒谎,他们就不会被起诉了.

再答： would not have done表示你假设一个条件后会出现的状况，是固定的，因为后面有if they had not……
