Their article on cold fusion is terribly wrong. It is written by people who know nothing about cold fusion.

He was convicted, but the conviction was thrown out. Therefore he is not guilty. You cannot site a conviction in court as proof of guilt when that same conviction is later voided by the courts. Court judgments are binary: guilty or innocent. If you are first declared guilty but later declared innocent, that makes you innocent. As innocent as someone who was never found guilty in the first place. There is no "left over" guilt, or stain of guilt. Is there some other proof? - Jed
