According to what was said last night on CNN:
The Italian prosecutor asked for an arrest warrant immediately after the trial and was turned down by the judge. That's because according to Italian law she gets THREE chances to challenge the verdict. Until all 3 have expired, she is in no danger of being arrested.
Also - an American scientist who was part of the case from the very beginning did DNA testing and said his conclusions were she could not have been guilty. But - the Italians were after a conviction and they manipulated the evidence to achieve their conviction. The reason that first verdict was overturned is they decided to set everything aside and take a fresh look at the evidence by 2 independent investigators with DNA experience - and after they looked at all the original evidence - and with their testimony - she was found innocent.
This second trial was a joke more or less.
I can personally only conclude that politics are in play here.
But for now - she is in no danger of arrest.
