This case had nothing to do with whether Intel was guilty or not. This was about recouping interest on the fine Intel paid the EU that was later mostly reversed.

This is a bad joke. How in the world can you fine a company based on evidence of wrongdoing, and then later reverse it? So what were used as proof of wrongdoing is a mistake? The court room nowadays are like a playground in my opinion.
