Innocence Proved By:

"On June 11, 1985 the New York Court of Appeals reversed Giulano's conviction and ordered dismissal of the charges in ruling, "To convict defendant of having killed Frank Cirillo on this record, a trier of fact would have had to engage in speculation, draw unwarranted conclusions based on probabilities of low degree, and leap logical gaps in the evidence. We conclude that no rational trier of fact could have found that elements of the crime were established beyond a reasonable doubt, and therefore reverse the order of the Appellate Division, vacate the conviction and dismiss the indictment." (People v. Giuliano, 65 N.Y.2d 766, 771, 482 N.E.2d 557, 492 N.Y.S.2d 939 (1985)"
