    I watched this last week on 20/20 I think it was. It honestly did not seem to me that she did get a fair trial. What a nightmare for her family! I don't know how the courts work and if the US can intervene but something has to be done for this poor girl. Very scary.

    I really dont know the Laws over there to say yes or no.. Keep in mind she was in that Country of her own free will.. The same would happen if the shoe was reversed..

    I totally disagree. Call me naive but I think we afford citizens of other countries the same rights to the justice system here that we give our own citizens. I believe an Italian suspect of a crime here would get a much better trial and representation than an American suspect would in Italy.

    The judge that oversaw the trial is under investigation for taking bribes (I think) and the jurors were not allowed to speak of the trial or the deliberations. I just hope for her sake, the jails in Italy are kind to her.

    It sounds like her Jailors and cell mates are very kind to her. However jurors were seen sleeping during testimony and they are not sequistored, there is a public uprising against her similar to the O.J. trial here.
    don't breed or buy while shelter dogs die....

    I have been frosted!

    Thanks Kfamr for the signature!
