Do you know anything about the case? She was convicted. CONVICTED. They just let her go while awaiting a retrial her shyster lawyers got.

You do realize that Italy already has tried and convicted and sentenced a man for this crime — and he is in a Roman jail right now.

She was convicted ONCE before but that conviction was overturned in a second trial. Not liking that, they decided to try her a THIRD time. The principle against double jeopardy is so ingrained that it would be constitutionally wrong to send her to a country where they can keep trying you until they get a conviction.

Your faith in the justice system is touching, nick.

As I understand it, her initial conviction was overturned on appeal. So one could as easily say that, upon review, she was acquitted. ACQUITTED. Without being personally acquainted with the case, none of us know for sure what her involvement was.
