summary
A former president of the Jewish student union was acquitted of carrying out a hate crime hoax. Offensive graffiti was written on the Jewish center.
James Oppenheim was arrested, though police said he was merely "trying to broaden recognition of anti-Semitism".
A can of spray paint with his fingerprints was found hidden in the Jewish Center. It was argued in court that he picked up the can and hid it. The case against him was not proven, so the acquittal was correct. However, it is still possible to speculate that he did it on the balance of probability, but obviously, it is impossible to put it more strongly than that.
