Italy’s justice system is wildly fucked up. Read the details of this case: she was detained and questioned under extreme duress for hours with no lawyer or interpreter present while the police lied to her. She eventually gave in and named someone else who might have done it.

That’s it. She didn’t go out in public and accuse this guy. She didn’t give his name to the press. She just offered up a name as a potential suspect to the police after being questioned without an attorney in a country where she only speaks basic Italian and didn’t have an interpreter. So Italy sentenced her to 3 years in prison for that. Luckily for her that was served at the same time as the 4 years she did for not murdering anyone.
