Amanda Knox was acquitted of her accused crimes by an Italian Court in 2011. As an American citizen she is protected by the fifth amendment, "[N]or shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb in criminal or civil cases"
In addition, Article 6 of the 1984 extradition treaty with Italy provides, "extradition shall be denied when the person sought has been in jeopardy in the requested State for the same offense." This a clear and cut case in which an American citizen's rights are being infringed and We the People request the Obama administration ensure Amanda Knox's rights are observed.
