..doesn't this just make a mockery of the courts..how can she be found not guilty of such a serious crime and then be found guilty...surely that in itself casts enough doubt on it for her to be legally not guilty...

[Nedusa]

Under Italian law you have to be found guilty 3 times before you are actually guilty, but if you are found not guilty then this may rise to 5 times...!!!

What a complete joke .... Makes a mockery of justice

Hopefully the US authorities will tell the Italians exactly what they can do with any extradition request...

I'll be interested to see if the USA gives her up to the Italians or not.

If they have a shred of respect for justice they should

[Nedusa]

The US constitution protects Amanda Knox from being extradited. Specifically, the 5th Amendment "...nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb". Knox was acquitted in her retrial; therefore, by US law, she cannot be retried again for the same crime; else it is double jeopardy and a violation of the US constitution.

No woman that hot should ever be locked up.



NOT GUILTY.

Double jeopardy does not apply as the acquittals were made none and void. This was thankfully, an unsuccessful appeal against the original convictions

Ship that murderer back now!!!

Italy obviously doesn't given how they're abusing their own Judical system to get the result they want. They did a piss poor job or trying to convict her and they need to face up to the consequences of their incompetence.

This I think they convicted her since she was there

I agree double jeopardy may not apply here as technically it is just a continuation of the first prosecution . However the absence of a jury and the fact this case has now had 3 verdicts does rather make a mockery of Italian justice and does give grounds for the US authorities to make a judicial decision not to extradite her on the grounds she cannot receive a fair trial.

Double jeopardy is irrelevant in this case for a more obvious reason - it's not an American case, so isn't bound by American law, nor protected by the constitution.

It's such a shambles. Italy's surely one of the poorest functioning Western states if not the worst.

So was Germany but that hasn't stopped it from becoming Europe's leading economic power or being a key member in all European institutions. Italy's a poorly functioning mafia state in the south; I'm surprised it hasn't split up into different countries yet.
