Why hasn’t doubt over poisoning subsided?

公众对于朱令中毒案的怀疑为何不能平息？

Yesterday, the Beijing police responded to public questions regarding the thallium poisoning of Zhu Ling, pointing out that they first received the report in May of 1995 - five months after the poisoning occurred, due to the extended illness and lengthy diagnosis. Because of a lack of evidence, the case was never resolved. The Beijing police said yesterday that they "feel deeply sorry" that they couldn't solve the case, and deeply sympathize with Zhu Ling's family. Meanwhile, the police also insisted that investigation was totally independent, with nointerference.
