Actually, I have that quite right (if there is any
reasonable doubt, then there's no going to jail...).
However, on rereading, it's not clear to me that
that was what was meant.

Right, but the official story is what's "on trial" in
the email that Clark quoted.  After rereading it, it
seems to me that it's not clear whether he meant, as I
thought, that the official story was not proven beyond
reasonable doubt, or meant, as you and Clark seem to
be saying he meant, that the official story was
*disproven* beyond a reasonable doubt.

These are very different assertions, but I see upon
further reflection how you could believe he meant the
latter.  We need a clarification. :)
