The defense begins. And the teens are already turning on each other.

Some new details:

* The officers were not armed, which has led to some questions.

* The drug dealer might be an informant.

* One American teen has dual citizenship but lived in the U.S.

Holy Toledo. Drug deals gone bad are not for the faint of heart. Getting revenge sometimes doesn’t work out.

That didn’t take long.

As for the Carabiniere, I remember those guys always carrying machine guns...while they patrolled the streets. They weren’t shy about having weapons.

Odd the cop didn’t have a gun.

Actions have consequences. No sympathy for drug users that turn to violence. Let the Italian justice system run out.

Both this murder case and the Kercher case involved American suspects. And both cases made headline news.

But, the opposite also happens: some Americans have been murdered in Italy.

This 19yo American student was murdered in Rome in 2016: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExNK2FMJDxY

Sad to say, I never heard his story until now.

Summary:

* The officers had been trailing the two Americans and watched the drug deal.

* Rega (allegedly) forgot his gun at home.

* His partner was armed (despite previous reports) but says he couldn’t legally shoot the suspects because they were running away.

* Elder brought the murder weapon (7-inch knife) to Italy from the U.S.
