By guilty, do we mean "committed or significantly contributed to the murder"?
Or do we mean "committed or significantly contributed to the murder AND there is enough evidence showing that to satisfy the beyond-a-reasonable-doubt (or Italian equivalent) standard of proof for murder"?
The comments don't seem to make that distinction, but I think it could make a big difference.
probability = probability of having committed murder, not probability of sufficient evidence
