Italy’s highest court on Wednesday was hearing the final appeal of two U.S. citizens convicted in the stabbing death of a police officer during a plainclothes operation in Rome in the summer of 2019.
Their lawyers are arguing that there were flaws in the prosecution’s reconstruction of events the night Carabinieri Vice Brigadier Mario Cerceillo Rega was stabbed 11 times near the hotel where the two U.S. tourists were staying. In the original trial, the defendants testified that neither officer identified themselves as police and they that thought the Italians dressed in casual summer clothes were thugs.
Wow. All this wasted life because a couple guys couldn’t score coke on their vacation.
