Krajem 2004, Vrhovni sud je poslao predmet natrag istom sudu, presudivši da je prvo suđenje bilo podložno pristrasnosti i "da je bilo poremećeno ozbiljnim greškama u krivičnom postupku kao i pogrešnim i nepotpunim činjenicama".
In late 2004, the Supreme Court sent the case back to the same court, ruling that the first trial was biased and "fraught with serious flaws in criminal procedure as well as erroneous and incomplete facts".
