Italy’s highest court has ordered a retrial for two American citizens who were convicted in the slaying of an Italian police officer during a sting operation gone bad.
The court will issue its reasons for the verdict in the coming weeks, and instruct an appeals court on the issues to examine in a new trial. The defense has argued that plainclothes carabinieri didn't identify themselves as law enforcement during an operation to recover the backpack that the two Americans stole during a failed drug deal.
