Accused Air India bombers acquitted

This is unreal. After a year long trial, the judge found every one of the prosecution's witnesses to be unbelievable. Every one, including one that was paid almost 1/2 a million dollars to testify (is that even legal?), and one who said she loved one of the accused, who confessed to her that he was responsible. The trial was by judge alone, for the 1985 bombing of an Air India flight that killed 329 people, 278 of them Canadians. It was carried out in a multi-million dollar courtroom built especially to house the trial, which lasted a year and is likely the most expensive ever. The chronology in the article is very interesting and worth reviewing. The crown may appeal. What a mess.
