acquittal

Indian officials have said their acquittals would have no bearing on the case in India.

A BBC Hindi analysis has found that more than 80% of the cases related to the violence where courts gave decisions have resulted in acquittals or discharges.

Following his acquittal, Rihanna expressed her gratitude on social media, stating, "The glory belongs to God and God alone! Thankful, humbled by his mercy!"

Still, the hundreds of acquittals in his case chased away the idea of trying the remaining Guantánamo defendants in federal court.

By their acquittal of the defendant on the count of child cruelty the jury had been of the view she "was trying her best", the defence added.
