Zanemarujući dokaze dvojice vodećih eksperata za AIDS za to da je izbijanje HIV-a 1998. godine bilo uzrokovano lošim higijenskim uslovima u bolnici u Bengaziju i da je do nje došlo prije dolaska tih zdravstvenih radnika, suci su svoju presudu zasnovali u velikoj mjeri na potpisanim priznanjima medicinskih sestara datim tokom istrage.
