Retrial For Knox And Solecito

[ladybirder]

Appeal overturned. Retrial in Florence. What do we think?

[netibiza]

Whether I think they are guilty or not, I do not think it is fair to re try them, were they found innocent for acquited? But the poor dead girl needs justice too.

[emmie]

i agree that the family and the poor lass needs justice, but this wasn't handled properly, or so it seems from the start.

Extradition tends to be a one way thing with the Septics, theres more chance of me winning the euro-lottery millions (and I dont even buy tickets)than her being sent back to the Penne munchers

[Mrsspagnoli57]

Get it right this time Italy!!!! Smile wiped off Seattle faces.

[emmie]

what new evidence have they to warrant this?

[ladybirder]

No new evidence em, as far as we know. The reasons for the retrial will be explained in a few weeks' time I believe. Plenty about it on the BBC website if you're interested. The Kerchers have welcomed it though.

[emmie]

i wonder at this, as they are not going to get Amanda Knox back, and even if they can try this case without her, what will it ultimately prove..
It was and still is a heartbreaking case, and whoever was responsible should rot in hell.

[ladybirder]

I suppose if she's found guilty this time then they will try and get her back to serve her sentence.

[emmie]

America won't allow it, not in a million years, it would drag on and on and on

[ladybirder]

Well I agree with you there em but we won't know unless they are found guilty. I wonder if the Kercher family will go.

[society]

Her lawyer would never allow her to leave the US.

[emmie]

LB, perhaps, but i doubt very much if either defendant will be in attendance. so unless the prosecution have firm new evidence then i really can't what this will serve, but more anguish for the family of the young woman.

What surprises me is that Jogger hasn't tripled the length of this thread.

No way is the gorgeous, pouting, Amanda going to visit Florence or anywhere in the EU in the next few months/years.

[vodkancoke]

This may sound daft, but I am no legal eagle. IF they are found to be guilty, can she serve her sentence in the US or is that just a waste of time?

[emmie]

perhaps JJ doesn't want to go ballistic just yet.

[emmie]

surely double jeopardy would apply in this case?

[DTCwordfan]

Thinks me, I would prefer Italian incarceration to American........

[DTCwordfan]

yes, em, I agree on that. Amanda ain't coming back...simple as that.

[ladybirder]

Society I cant see Amanda begging her lawyer to let her go:-(

Em here's a piece from the Huffington Post. We'll know more in 90 days.

Italy's Court of Cassation ruled that an appeals court in Florence must re-hear the case against the American student and her former Italian boyfriend for the murder of 21-year-old Meredith Kercher. The exact issues that have to be reconsidered won't be known until the court releases its full ruling within 90 days.

[emmie]

it won't happen, the Americans won't roll over to the Italians in this, not now not ever.
