AS Roma fan Filippo Lombardi has been adjudged not guilty after standing trial for causing grievous bodily harm to Liverpool supporter Sean Cox before the Champions League semi-final clash between the two clubs in April, per BBC News.
Cox, 53, was struck outside of Anfield as he attempted to go watch the match with his brother Martin and was seriously injured.
The 21-year-old Lombardi was acquitted by a jury at the Preston Crown Court this week. However, he was sentenced to three years in prison for a separate charge of violent disorder after admitting his culpability.
