    - as an admitted novice on this, what I've read seems to say that since she was already convicted and time served - Reagen Jan 30, 15:29 4
      - The sense I got from the cnn article I read earlier was that it was less about "time served" than it was "you can't just try her again". -- nm - Ender Jan 30, 16:36
      - [deleted] 2
        
        That's an interesting option. Does the DOJ basically evaluate the evidence and make a determination of guilt? -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Jan 30, 15:33 1

    - The Italian justice system seems like it's based on a embarassment-demarked currency. -- nm - Reagen Jan 30, 15:04
