>>9903829The Inquisition was only allowed to torture when they already had incriminating evidence, and in the case of Trent, the torture was very mild. They did not ask any leading question, and the statements were thoroughly investigated, by interviewing all persons they mentioned. There was an active investigation period of almost 3 years. The accused were also allowed to revoke their statements from the interrogation, which they did not. The only one who denied the crime was Old Moses. The investigation was also confirmed to be correct by 12 learned men who swore an oath to serve the truth. It was also confirmed by Sixtus IV to be correct, and the later popes who review it afterwards.
The verdict is undeniably correct. Even in the Shabbos goy Po's book, he has no alternative hypothesis or explanation to the body. The only thing that is mentioned is that he thinks the body could have been planted by an "anti-Semitic" Christian, Zanesus. But this was proven false by the investigation and even Po admits that this theory is extremely flawed.
Remember, the boy was circumcised, and had a lot of puncture wounds. He could NOT have drowned, like the jews said.
