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.
Ignorišući dokaze dva vodeća eksperta za AIDS da je izbijanje HIV 1998. godine bilo uzrokovano lošom higijenom u bolnici u Bengaziju i da je prethodilo dolasku medicinara u bolnicu, sudije su svoju presudu zasnovale u najvećoj meri na potpisanim priznanjima koja su medicinske sestre dale tokom istrage.
