It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

Fuck you, Italy.

Isn't that verdict a good thing?  Why the hostility?

She needlessly spent years in jail?

It would have been no difference if she was executed. Ask Berkut.

So, is she really guilty or not?  It's kind of hard to know how to feel about the news, if you don't know the truth.

Back when she was originally convicted the evidence against her seemed thin to me, and the prosecutor seemed to be scoring points on prosecuting an American.  But I generally try and resist making any pronouncements on court cases because after being involved in them I know that what gets reported in the media is less than 1% of the overall story.

Well the Italian legal system is something or a farce.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Hopefully girl can take the first thing smoking out of Italy if she can. Run girl run.

Oh and what Ed said.....

I forgot what I said. I assume it involved vaginas.

I have no idea if the girl is innocent or not.  Haven't been following the story at all.  Don't really care, but any country where Silvio Berlusconi can not only be free but serve as Prime Minister has something really wrong with it.
