An Italian appeals court reduced the sentences of Lee Elder Finnegan and Gabriele Natale-Hjorth, but upheld their 2019 convictions.
An Italian appeals court on Wednesday upheld the convictions of two American men in the slaying of an Italian plainclothes police officer during a botched sting operation but reduced their sentences. The new trial was ordered after Italy 's highest court threw out their original convictions.The court convicted Lee Elder Finnegan and sentenced him to 15 years and 2 months in prison and gave a sentence of 11 years to Gabriele Natale-Hjorth.
Italy's highest Cassation Court ordered a new trial last year, saying it hadn't been proven beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendants, with limited Italian language skills, had understood that they were dealing with Italian police officers when they went to meet an alleged drug dealer in Rome.The defense had argued that the defendants didn't know they were facing law enforcement when the attack happened.
