I think, no matter what country we are talking about, that when there is a murder the prosecution and cops are so determined to find a killer and pin it on someone that they are "focused" on who they want to "look good" for the murder instead of focusing on what the evidence is actually telling them.
I don't know. I don't think I'd have convicted Scott Peterson for Laci's murder based on the evidence we've seen. It was circumstantial. They had more evidence on OJ who was found not guilty. The public freaked when Casey Anthony wasn't convicted for Caylee's murder because the evidence was circumstantial. Some think that Troy Davis, who was executed recently was innocent.

Point is, our system is far from perfect. Italy or the U.S., mistakes are made.
