Happy for her ! And in my opinion, she is very lucky to has been judged in Italy.
I am just thinking what would happen if she were black or arabic , the victim white and judged in Texas ? What would be the verdict and what the mobilisation would be from the public ?

That said, I am happy for her and hope she could start a new life.
