And joancj- It would appear you are very familiar with this case. Feel free to share any further insights on this blog. Since you mentioned some future civil issues, my personal hope is that if/when Amanda is released that she returns and simply gets on with her life. I have watched others, including fellow police officers, pursue injustice through civil courts. Regardless of the outcome, that ordeal was too close a reminder of the original incident and a drain on their psyche.

Meanwhile, let’s cross our fingers.

On a less important note: it is “malvagio” not “molvagio”. “Mal” comes from the latin, meaning “bad”

Again, thanks for the great article!!!
