She&#039;s guilty but I agree with this Italian poster. However, rather than 30 years for Amanda in an effort by Bongiorno to cast all blame on her to extricate Raffaele, I think Amanda&#039;s sentence will be &quot;dumbed down&quot; to about 16 years. I have no clue what sentence Raf will get. I think he deserves the same as Amanda, but Italian poster knows what he&#039;s talking about: family influence, a sense of someone being a &quot;good family&quot;, thus less risky to release, and more of a waste of a life that might produce. Right or wrong, these things are instinctual.

Italy has a pretty merciful system to give work-release for half days and  full days, long before sentence is served.

Nobody guilty should be behind bars, but wrongdoers should be. Murderers in God&#039;s law are to be executed, but that&#039;s not done in Italy. See Old Testament books of the Law (Exodus, Deuteronomy) for God&#039;s recommendation on how to deal with manslayers. This was never abrogated by Jesus Christ, although he taught endless mercy in personal relationships. He also warned people to keep the law, and he was referring to Old Testament law. He never advocated false mercy to evildoers which is cruel to the innocent to force them to cohabit in community with those who have killed others and face continued risk working with hardened people.

Legal kindness to killers is cruelty to the innocent. It devalues the life of the murdered victim, insults the victim&#039;s family, and sends the message that wrong is not frowned upon, but met with a slapped wrist and chuckle. 

Jesus Christ commands believers to visit those in prison.
