Knox had previously vowed to become a "fugitive" if found guilty. It doesn't seem the U.S. would even agree to extradite her since it would violate their system of "doule jeopardy" where the same person cannot be tried twice for the same crime. (Knox had previously been released and had her verdict overturned).
I just hope this doesn't complicate U.S.-Italy relations in regards to other fugitives if things get messy. the U.S. did get US Marshals Top 15-er Miguel Torres back from Italy.
To be honest, and this may sound wrong, but part of me was rooting for Knox to be found not guilty just because I'm sick and tired of hearing about this story and just wanted it to go away. But here we go again apparently...
