    The context is “beyond a reasonable doubt”.

    In legalese, “It depends” translates to “Not Guilty”: you must assume the accused’s purpose and intent was innocent, if any innocent interpretation is at all “reasonable”.

    With that being the case, cops and prosecutors might have had sufficient justification to conduct an investigation, but that investigation does not seem to have turned up sufficient evidence to arrest or charge her.

    She’s going to get settlement when she decides to sue. Should be enough to cover the procedure she was apparently denied.
