Over the next six years, Amanda and Raffaele were hauled through the Italian legal system. They were acquitted and released on appeal, retried and convicted again, then finally exonerated by Italy's Supreme Court in 2015. The court found that the pair had been twice convicted, despite "stunning flaws, or amnesia, in the investigation", and noted the lack of motive or physical evidence. It also pointed to a "sudden acceleration" in the investigation courtesy of all the international media attention.
