ROME (Reuters) - An Italian appeals court on Wednesday once again reduced the prison terms imposed on two American tourists who were originally given life sentences for the 2019 murder of a police officer in a case that shook Italy.
The court ruled that Finnegan Lee Elder, who was 19 at the time, should serve 15 years and two months in jail for stabbing Mario Cerciello Rega to death in central Rome following a botched drug deal.
