Being retried for the murder of her flatmate in Italy.

What do you think?

There are really two questions here.

1. Do I think she did it ("Too many unanswered questions")

2. Do I think she has been found guilty? (nope - the evidence was weak, and much of it was botched by the investigators).

I haven't followed this one closely. I don't think anyone who isn't a juror and fully understand what's going on in a criminal case.

My verdict is not guilty because I don't think someone like her should be in prison.

That's...not how guilt/innocence works.

Ever heard of jury nullification?

Edit: I realize I don't have mainstream views on the criminal justice system, but that is my opinion here.

What about her if she's guilty precludes her from going to prison in your book?

I highly doubt she's a continued danger to society where she has to be confined at large cost to taxpayers and her wellbeing. I think it's fine for her to pay civil damages.

If she's guilty, Shes shown a disregard for human life. I don't know enough about her to say she won't show it again.

Non sequitur.

Her place in prison and her guilt have nothing to do with each other. This is why trial and sentencing are separate.

I'd like to have voted more than one answer. I'd lean towards her innocence enough to have reasonable doubt, but not enough to say she definitely didn't do it.

I also beleive there is an element of railroading the American, but I do not think that was the only reason she was found guilty.
