There is evidence. It was presented at one or another of the hearings (who cares which at this point) and the judge chose to disregard it because Schiavo is so obviously a nice guy :) Which is par for the course and really not that surprising.
There almost never is enough evidence because women don't talk about it, families don't talk about it, and when they do they are not believed because good old so and so would never do a thing like that. So it is not exactly earthshaking to hear that the county that felt there was no evidence of domestic violence now feels that there is no evidence of homicide, fifteen years after the fact. By the way, Shiavo's subsequent girlfriend *did* accuse him of stalking her and threatening her children. She was not believed at the hearing because she got the hell out of dodge rather than call the police at the time.
