Will Amanda Knox return to Italy for a re-trial or not?

HedoZen
Why do you keep asking the question? Her attorney said NO she won’t go back, her trial can go on without her physically there and if she’s found guilty, extradition USA via Europe is impossible only if she puts feet on EURO land she may get arrested

So by staying in the States she is hiding from justice....why is that fair?
coloco
Already said no, and her lawyer said no.

The Italian Supreme court has said there should be a re-trial . They could have recommended that the appeal was correct and there was no need for further action.

I have no idea how they run their stuff, I can only respond in light of what info I see on the news. And, I agree, with your comment, I just don't know. I have already gone out as far as I can to give an intelligent answer, anything after this point will be bullshit, I haven't read anymore.

Ok...thanks for posting anyway.

There is no extradition treaty with Italia so I would not if I were her. Screw Italia!

Morals don't come into it....hiding from the law is never a good thing unless you are guilty

You really have not studied the case at all. The court is not finding her guilty. They identified procedural issues. Thank God you are not allowed to be close to anything important.

Are you able to read? The original trial jury found her guilty. Her subsequent appeal on preocedural grounds was a success. The Supreme court has now quashed that appeal and ordered a re-trial. I am fully aware of the legal issues...whereas you appear not to be.

America should NOT allow her to be extradited back to Italy at all

Still not guilty as the prosecutors want to retry her and still innocent until her retrial

To prove I was innocent

So if she refuses to go back and is found guilty at the re-trial in her absence....then what?
bijouxbroussard
Last I read, she had no plans to.

But she WAS acquitted. They shouldn't be able to appeal an acquittal in the first place. It's not like a mistrial, where no decision was reached. She'd be a fool to voluntarily return, but it depends on the extradition laws; if they can refuse to extradite someone back here who might face the death penalty, we should be able to refuse to extradite where there's no double jeopardy statute. One could be acquitted and retried again and again indefinitely based upon that.

The original trial verdict was a conviction. On appeal she was acquitted on the grounds of poor evidence. That decision has now been over-ruled, and a re-trial has been ordered.
bijouxbroussard
Then they shouldn't have acquitted her, they should've thrown out the verdict and retried her then. An acquittal is having been found not guilty. Obviously Italian law is different than U.S. law, but like I said, she would be a fool to voluntarily go back and let them possibly railroad her, especially if she knows herself to be innocent.
