Can Amanda be prosecuted again? Seems to me in Italy the prosecution can press the charges all over again as many times as they want.

I don’t think so; this decision came from the Court of Cassation, which is the highest court of appeal in the land. When they say it’s game over....it’s game over.

That is not true. People don't understand the Italian legal system. Defendants are guaranteed three levels of trials. So, just because you are convicted at the first level, does not mean you are ultimately guilty. In U.S. parlance, jeopardy doesn't attach after the first two levels no matter what happens. It is extremely slow moving, though.
