Italian Court Denies Extradition for Gilley | Houston News
An Italian court has ruled against extraditing Lee Gilley to Texas for a capital murder charge in the death of his pregnant wife, but may reconsider if the charge is downgraded. Harris County’s District Attorney has indicated that the death penalty won’t be pursued, suggesting alternative legal strategies. Gilley’s lawyers argue against extradition on the grounds that Italy does not permit such severe penalties. He remains charged and plans to appeal the court's decision.
