Sud je odbio priznati dokaze kojim se nagovještava da je zaraza bila prisutna najmanje godinu dana prije dolaska zdravstvenih radnika u Libiju, i da je najvjerovatnije uzrokovana lošim higijenskim uslovima.
The court refused to admit evidence suggestig that the infection predated the medics' arrival in Libya by at least a year, and was likely due to poor hygenic conditions.
