Contradictions in Court Rulings

When a defendant is acquitted, it means that either the prosecutor or the judges made a mistake.
As a result, credibility is lost — especially when the judges of the first, second, and third instance contradict each other: how can one know who is right?
Even more so when the Court of Cassation closes the case without even a referral, after two rulings, declaring that the trial should never have taken place.
The case of politicians is particular because the acquittals (which almost always occur) are not due to doubt about the facts, but to the nonexistence of a crime, and the ruling confirms a fact that seems self-evident.
