The case was remanded for a new trial, but later the government withdrew the prosecution, with Brother Rutherford and his associates being completely exonerated.
Kasus itu diproses kembali agar dapat diadakan persidangan baru, namun kemudian pemerintah menarik tuntutannya, sehingga Saudara Rutherford dan rekan - rekannya dinyatakan bebas murni.
