An Order That Should be Easy To Refuse

To state the obvious, should Italy issue an extradition order for Amanda Knox, the only question should be whether to respond with spit or urine. In addition to the double jeopardy issue — which is in itself sufficient to refuse the order — there’s the important legal principle that “the bizarre, unfounded wank fantasies of prosecutors do not constitute evidence.” We don’t have to be Antonin Scalia — the fact that she’s plainly innocent is good enough not to extradite her.
