The Dutch Court of Appeal has said that Pieter J. Is not guilty of all the things he was accused of in the case 13-258730-19. This means that the case is finally over. The judges looked at the case again. Decided that there was not enough evidence to say that Pieter J. Was guilty of the things he was accused of.
The judges looked at all the papers and documents from the case. Decided that the accusations against Pieter J. Could not be proven. In a case the court has to be sure that the person is guilty before they can say that the person is guilty. The court did not think that this standard was met in this case.
