An Italian court has ordered the release of a nurse who was serving a 25-year prison sentence for the murder of her neighbor, after the Court of Appeal in Trento accepted a second request for review. The case stems from the death of the neighbor in Mestre in December 2012. The nurse had been arrested and convicted for that killing. After more than a decade behind bars, the legal outcome shifted. About three years after the conviction, another woman was killed with methods described as similar. The person accused of that second murder later confessed to also having killed the neighbor. In the latest decision, the appeal court granted the revision based on new evidence. The court took into account a new assessment of a small chain taken from the nurse, saying its size and appearance differed from what was linked to the victim just before her death. The court then considered a second review request regarding issues with the chain of custody of the seized item, describing it as contaminated. The nurse is no longer in custody following the ruling.
