In the USA she has he right to double jeopardy protection.
Whether she did it or not is irrelevant. She was acquitted and can’t be put on trial a 2nd time.
If you don’t like the rules, then leave and go live somewhere that removes all of your rights.

Guilty or innocent, Amanda walked out of the Italian hoosegow on appeal for the same reason she would have in the good ole USA. Technicalities.

Among the various aspects of police misconduct:
She was not apprised of her rights, their law and ours.
She was interrogated without a lawyer present ... their right and ours.
She was not provided with an interpreter, their right and ours.
The chain of evidence was faulty, just like OJ's, their right and ours.

No matter what exactly happened, Foxy Knoxy would have eventually walked in the USA, just as she eventually walked in Italy.

However, Unlike our Supreme Court, the Eyetie version wants to go beyond the technicalities, to learn WTF actually happened. Did she and Rafe do it? Who knows? I bet they know one hell of a lot more than they told the cops! As for reviving this case, Italy has likely come under some pressure from EU partner The UK

Whether she did it or not is irrelevant. She was acquitted and can’t be put on trial a 2nd time.

Well, she wasn't exactly acquitted as we might know that term, she was sort of their version of commuted and released. Of course to us, it's "Double Jeopardy." Of course, when an American gets in a foreign police jam-up with a dead body front and center, our rules don't really count much

BTW, what's with the "racism" on this thread. Substitute the "N-word" and see if how far that would fly. Embarrassing for the site, Mr. Moderator.
