exonerated vs released and "cannot lead to conviction"[edit]
I'm not finding in any of the sources for the statements that he was exonerated anything that indicates that. The courts seem to have found that he could not be convicted, not that he was exonerated. Acquitted isn't the same as exonerated in US law...maybe it's different in Sweden? --valereee (talk) 19:14, 14 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I find several sources in Swedish using the word Rentvådd which is means Exonerated.[1]BabbaQ (talk) 09:53, 23 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Linna was, according to the article, born i Sweden to Finnish parents. Describing him as a Finnish man doesn't sound right. Swedish, with Finnish roots, is probably a better description, but too long for the first sentence of the article. --Hjordmån (talk) 10:26, 27 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I have removed some unreferenced changes. I looked for sources on some of these changes, but I pretty much only got mirrors and other sites using Wikipedia information. If anyone can find sources to restore these changes with (or counter them), please do. Skarmory(talk •contribs) 00:20, 21 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
