Sword victim’s case thrown out.
Here is a story you could use as a parallel. Imagine this was a Rape case and the Judge let the “Alleged” offender walk free.
Note: There are moves afoot to change the trial proceedures in rape cases. Watch that space.

NZ teacher Peter Joyce’s settled life was disrupted when a woman he had never met accused him of historic rape. With a unique brand of angry humour, his diary plots the stages of his despair and traces his attempts to find justice in the face of the current insistence that we must “believe the victim”.
Dry Ice is a compelling memoir, but much more. The accusation made the writer a reluctant expert on similar cases from all over the world. He throws light on everything that limits public knowledge of false sexual allegations, from dangerous counselling to flawed statistics, and he exposes police investigation methods as blinkered, inefficient and insensitive.

“Stuff report – “Ms Gunbie lost her hand, part of her scalp, and was seriously cut”
That’s hardly getting off scot free IMO.
