Based on the evidence of the case, she would not be in jail (in Canada) and the police would not have pressed charges.

Although Italy seems to have more of a tradition that you must prove innocence where in our system which is the other way around.
I all ready said I wouldn't convict her based on the evidence, I think she is guilty but it is a gut feeling. And Legal experts on the BBC and CNN have both said people are convicted in the States and in England for less evidence (even circumstantial) than she was.
