Any idea what the implications of this are?
No. Courts do not prove innocence.
Because they don't need to. At least not in countries where one is
assumed innocent until proven guilty. Where were they tried/appealed etc ?
They show a person is not guilty based on the evidence presented by
the prosecutor. One of they even quoted after as saying something to the
effect of not being innocence their entire life but in this case I am.
They could technically be guilty just not beyond a preponderance of the evidence.
Implications none really other than they just get to live out their lives with money.
