The most important lesson here has nothing to do with innocence and guilt, but with people's confidently paraphrasing the opinions of others.

How much the more so when those opinions aren't saved as text, both to give the interpreters another chance to parse properly and to introduce the possibility that they could be embarrassed if later shown wrong.
