Strauss-Kahn prosecutors not convinced of guilt

NEW YORK - The testimony of a hotel maid who accused IMF head Dominique Strauss-Kahn of sexual assault was not convincing beyond a reasonable doubt to present to a jury, New York prosecutors said in a court filing on Monday recommending all criminal charges be dropped.
The document sent to a judge in New York State Supreme Court said prosecutors were "no longer convinced of the defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt."
It said Nafissatou Diallo, the hotel cleaner who said Strauss-Kahn had forced her to perform oral sex on May 14 "has not been truthful on matters great and small."
