I did not say it was because PC believed he was innocent?

The 'reasonable doubt' element is tied up with the quality and extent of the evidence.

In their view, there was not enough to convict him beyond reasonable doubt. That's not the same as being innocent

I have gathered that there is only a slim chance of a retrial - what have you heard through law school?
