They were not found not guilty in the early court, as I read it.
I think you are missing the point. Why was there a second trial if they were found not guilty in the first trial? The reason is that there was NO trial. These people were in family court which is a slap in the face of our judicial system. The lower court found insufficient evidence to take these children away so they sent it to another court until they got the “verdict” so to speak. The family is under gag order to not talk about the case. If there was sufficient reason to take these children then these people should be facing a TRIAL and JAIL time.
Social services can take people’s children on an accusation. Then YOU have to prove that the accusation is FALSE instead of them proving it is true. THAT is what is wrong with this picture. Family court is a JOKE.
In this country our court system does not try individuals twice for the same crime.
