Court overturns abuse convictions

FRANCE - A Paris appeals court has overturned the convictions of six people convicted of paedophilia after a contrite public prosecutor said the case was riddled with errors.

Much of the trial hinged on the testimony of Myriam Delay, who allowed the abuse to take place in the apartment she shared with her husband in Outreau, close to the Belgian border.

Delay later reversed her testimony.
