News Flash!!! Air India Bombers NOT GUILTY!!

Your messages seem to imply that it's obvious that they are guilty. It
might be prudent to wait a little to hear why they were found innocent.
If they didn't do it, then they shouldn't be convicted. I have no
knowledge about whether they did it or not, and I suspect you don't
either.

I'm a bit leary of the bloodthirstiness I read. It might be my
imagination, but it seems to me that I might interpret your message as
saying 'considering the time and money spent, they should have been
convicted because _somebody_ must pay, whether or not they did it.' If
I am in error, I apologize for the insinuation, but that's how I
interpreted it.

Your right it does sound bloodthirsty and maybe I should take another look
at what I had written after I cool down a little.
If they are innocent then I am glad that the judge ruled in their favor.

Now the judge didn't say they where innocent but rather the prosecution was
unable to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that they were guilty.

I am more upset I guess in the fact that all this time and money has been
spent possibly going after the wrong people. Like I said "someone placed a
bomb on those two planes". I guess I feel a little let down in the fact that
our goverment was unable to find the ones responsible and the familys of the
victims have not yet had closure in this case!

Maybe someday the guilty ones will come to trial and be scentenced for this
terrible crime!!

Of course there is the possibility that this will never be solved. Kinda
like the perfect murder isn't it?

The innocence of the accused was not a question before the court.
Only allegations as to their guilt, and it is only to these allegations
that the court was addressed.

And being unable to render a judgement of guilty, the judge doesn't
need to speak to the innocence of the accused. They were always
presumed innocent, and absent a verdict of guilty, the presumption
remains.

I thought the definition of a perfect murder to be one where there is doubt
that a murder was commited.

I have read a lengthy report on the net (sorry but I cannot find the link)
which maintains that there have been several 747 fuselage failures in the
cargo door areas and while I do not believe everything I read, does make me
ask just how confident we can be that this tragedy was in fact caused by a
bomb. Is the bomb hypothesis confirmed by hard evidence or could the damage
have been caused by rapid depressurization? It has been reported that there
were crash survivors who perished in the cold water so the ac can not have
hit that hard.
