"Evidence is needed for a conviction, and only assumptions and circumstantial evidence were presented at the trial. Among these, one seemed decisive to me, but in the opposite direction to that of the prosecution. The findings showed that just below the window from which Pinelli had fallen there was a cornice that the body had chipped on impact. This proved that he had fallen on it. If it had been a defenestration, the defenestrators would have avoided that impact, which could have compromised the outcome."
