nicely said, onyx, and i agree with you. the people in that room heard the evidence and witnessed the demeanor of those testifying etc. they had all the benefits of hearing it first hand. they found her guilty and i think they reached the correct verdict. the burdens of proof etc are different in Italy and it’s irrelevant to try to superimpose OUR system of justice on this situation, as our law does not apply.
100 witnesses, over 200 pieces of evidence. She’s guilty.
Hi xs!!!!
I’m just now reading through the thread and just saw that your daughter was in Rome and that you also followed the case. Your opinion comes with a lot more knowledge of law than mine, so I am gladdened that you agreed with the jury too.
I’m afraid our law does apply when it is one of our citizens being charged.
There was plenty of reasonable doubt, and I don’t care about the Italians pro-prosecution legal system.
