Not really. It is just a matter of Italians being evil people.

There was no inconsistency in her defense.

The "supposed" murder weapon clearly had absolutely nothing to do with the murder.

Those professional magistrates repeatedly allowed shoddy evidence to be heard as if it were credible, and they repeatedly blocked the defense from having it subjected to scrutiny by neutral scientists.
That would only pass muster in a third-world hellhole like Italy. You'd not see a judge do such a thing in an American or British courtroom.

Yes, innocent people should always feel fortunate when Italians send them to prison on trumped up charges.
