Guilty, obviously.

Now, she says she isn't going back to Italy to serve her sentence - what should the Italians do?

How about Britain does the right thing and helps our Italian allies see justice served?  We could fly an unmanned drone over her house and fire a Hellfire missile at Knoxy as she sleeps.

That's justice, American style    :D 


Please discuss.

Sorry sassy, didn't see it.

And I posted it here because of the obvious - it was the murder of a British girl.

Then apologies, I had forgotten that, with all the hysteria about Amanda Knox etc, poor Meredith gets a bit forgotten, thats the saddest thing of which it appears I have been guilty too.

Perhaps "double jeopardy" does not exist in Italian law.

There's always the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the European Convention on Human Rights, both of which might be applicable in this case, so even if an Extradition Order was sought by the Italian justice ministry legal consideration would probably take years.

I wouldn't care to comment on the outcome of the case or the "tenuous" evidence. None of us were in the courtroom at any stage and can only reach an inspired conclusion based on what we have read in newspapers or seen on TV.

Probably the best qualified forum member to comment authoritatively on the matter, especially so far as possible extradition is concerned, is almost certainly Quill.
