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.

I am afraid you are incorrect. The law of the country where the crime is committed obtains, and the nationality of the defendants is of no moment. This case was tried in an Italian court under Italian law.
