The case was controversial because Ignatow was acquitted of the charge. However, photographs that proved his guilt were uncovered after the trial. Under the legal principle of ''double jeopardy'', Ignatow could not be tried again for the murder. He was instead convicted and jailed for perjury in his grand jury testimony for the case on several occasions.
