Ignoring evidence by two leading AIDS experts that the 1998 HIV outbreak was caused by poor hygiene at the Benghazi hospital and that it predated the medics' arrival there, the judges based their verdict largely on signed confessions the nurses made during the investigation.
Ignorirajući dokaze dvaju vodećih stručnjaka za AIDS da je izbijanje HIV-a 1998. godine bilo prouzročeno lošom higijenom u bolnici u Benghaziu te je prethodilo dolasku medicinara u bolnicu, suci su svoju presudu temeljili u najvećoj mjeri na potpisanim priznanjima koja su medicinske sestre dale tijekom istrage.
