Reporter 1: Are you happy with the verdict?
Pascoe: No comment.

This is an allusion to Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, where Jacob Marley used to be Ebenezer Scrooge's business partner before his death. Appropriately, Mr. Marley in this episode appears to be rather unpleasant fellow, hence Dalziel's Dickensian quip.
