The evidence was put before the jury. They voted not guilty. It must've been adequate evidence.

However the commission said that the current regulations for low-altitude flights were sufficient.
Sounds like the Italians messed up tbh.

Aircraft that shouldn't have been in the British-controlled area, "cowboying" at just 500ft and looking for something to have a crack at.
Last Friday morning, two American pilots turned their guns on a convoy of five British vehicles from the Household Cavalry, killing one man just three days shy of his 26th birthday, injuring four others and wiping out two armoured reconnaissance vehicles from the squadron's Two Troop. Two Iraqi civilians, waving a large white flag, were also killed.
...
The attack took place within the Household Cavalry's battlefield control line which means that everything in the air should be controlled by them and their embedded American air controller. The A10s were well out of their area and the matter is now being investigated amidst calls from some of the British troops that the pilots be prosecuted for manslaughter.
...
The A10s were about to take a third swing when they were told by the American air patroller working with the Household cavalry to stop firing.
Instead of providing air cover while helicopters came in to evacuate the casualties, they baled out.
...
When daylight came, the squadron leader, a padre and a number of the troops returned to the scene to bring the body out. Chemical warfare suits had to be worn because of the threat from the depleted uranium used in the American weapons.
I'm sorry but if they don't get prosecuted then there is something seriously wrong.

Silly Italians not to put restrictions on the area.

I wasnt aware the British were better jurors then Americans. Was there a poll and I wasnt told?

I wont go into our constitutional right to have a jury by peers because then Wu Trax will go on about his constitution and how were breaking it and well that will be a never ending arguement.

To cut to the chase... The Attorneys found a loop hole in an Italian
Regulation dealing with Low-Altitude Flights... One guy was discharged for his actions, etc.

Dont take offense to this but, I dont find 3 Frenchmen, 2 Brits and a Dutchman to be my peers on a jury. Im not saying that were not equals... Im not saying im better then you. I dont believe I would get a fair trial. We have differing cultures... backgrounds... and everything would lead me to believe you would be biased in your decision. So I get a few people who are like me to judge. Let the evidence present itself...

I dont see a problem with that at all... Apparently you do though.

Based on the above evidence I cant see why they would get off easy.

I found that to be an opinion of someone who let emotion get the better of him. As maybe they were flying that low for reasons not yet known...

That's why there are quotation marks around "cowboying".
