1. Trial in absentia. Pointless. nt

[gopiscrap]

2. yeah but if she's found guilty

what about extradition issues?

3. Unlikely.

Even if Knox is convicted for good, Robert Anello, a New York City lawyer who has dealt with extraditions in the past, says there’s less than a fifty percent chance the American would be delivered to Italy. On paper, the U.S. does have an extradition treaty with Italy that requires the U.S. to hand over American citizens, if asked. But that’s a big if. And if the Italians were to make the request, they would face two potential hurdles, says Anello. First, the U.S. government could find legal arguments, including the previous acquittal verdict, to oppose extradition. Second, even if the U.S. agrees, Knox could try to block extradition in American courts, and “double jeopardy” could again come into play.

5. ok thanks hadn't thought about that!

4. If she's found guilty she could possibly be extradited. And even if the US refuses,

she won't be able to travel anywhere else that has an extradition treaty.

And it would be terrible for her to watch Raffaele be falsely convicted again, knowing that he could have freed himself by lying about her.
