Subject: RE: Murder/Manslaughter-Amanda Knox acquitted(3-10-11)
The link to the Guardian says:

"Speaking just two days after he and his fellow judges handed down a full acquittal on appeal, Judge Claudio Pratillo Hellmann, said the court's verdict 'is the result of the truth that was created in the proceedings. But the real truth may be different. They may be responsible, but the evidence is not there.'"

This may sound like a bombshell to someone who knows nothing about how human courts of justice work. Otherwise, not so much.

"The evidence is not there." Period.

That means real evidence, not speculation about how it *might have* happened, based on the vigilante theory that if they weren't guilty they wouldn't have been accused.

Case closed.
