I wasn't on the jury, listening to the evidence over the last few weeks, and nor was Fiolar. If they thought that on the evidence there was not enough evidence to convict, the jury had no choice but to acquit the accused boys.

It's an imperfect world. Innocent people sometimes get convicted, guilty people sometines don't. The most important thing is to find ways of stopping crimes happening, punishing them after they happen is very much second best.
