Question about English (US)
The mayor of a small city in western Japan was found innocent by the district court yesterday. He had been charged with bribery. This lawsuit had been very unusual and peculiar from the beginning. There had been no hard evidence or no witnesses, only one man who had claimed to have handed the mayor money. Does this sound natural?

A little unnatural
i think it's perfect except for the line "There had been no hard evidence or no witnesses...". Say either: "There had been no hard evidence nor witnesses" or say "There had been no hard evidence and no witnesses".
