I would never, and I mean never, want to get tangled up in the Italian legal system. It's very different from ours. I love Italy for many things, but that isn't one of them.

Some of that is because they have so many layers to their system. Where we have one trial, then use the transcripts of the trial for appeals, they have a trial for every level. New evidence can be presented at each trial, which is basically like a new trial every time. That's why as the case works it's way up the ladder of levels, you can be guilty, then not guilty, then guilty, etc. In Amanda Knox's case, she finally worked her way up to the highest level, so it's final now.
