I'm not an international law expert, but my understanding is that even with a treaty, there are circumstances under which a country may not have to cooperate under the treaty.

So if Italy tries to extradite her back the US doesn't have to comply?

Again, I am not an international law expert, but my understanding is that the extradition request has to contain some evidence of guilt. If the evidence in this case was so tainted as to bring her guilt into question, then it makes me think the US may have a good argument against extradition.
