No.Originally posted by Mr incredible View Post^ the interesting concept is that, if its decided that the original trial or appeal, was flawed either technically or whatever, then clearly justice was not served and thus its not a case of bring tried twice for the same offence per se, its actually a case of the original trial was incomplete, and needs.completing.
If the accused is found GUILTY, but new facts emerged later or the original trial was found to be flawed, then there can be a retrial.
However, if the accused was found NOT GUILTY, then they cannot be tried a second time. Doesn't matter if new facts emerge.
In this case, Knox was found NOT GUILTY. So she cannot be tried a second time. End of story.

You may not like it, but No, America will not extradite Amanda Knox. She will live the rest of her days out chilling in the USA.Originally posted by Mr incredible View Post^ its not logical bro, and if would genuinely love to have the discussion with you and perhaps learn something new.

It may not be logical, but nothing in government is.
