You don’t understand the Italian justice system. If a person is convicted, they get two free appeals. Until after those appeals, they don’t even consider the conviction final. It’s not our system, but is actually more pro-defendant than our system.

Correct. As I fessed up to in post 187.

Their system doesn’t line up with ours, but we tend to assume it does and jump to inapplicable conclusions.

BTW, any country with a conviction rate well over 90% doesn’t have much right to criticize other countries for their supposed kangaroo trials.
