Texas Murder Suspect Flees to Italy, Seeks Asylum | True Crime News

In Italy, Lee Gilley, the Texas man charged with strangling his pregnant wife, appeared before a Turin court this week and refused to consent to extradition, claiming innocence and saying the only crime he committed was fleeing; the case now hinges on whether Texas prosecutors will agree not to seek the death penalty, a guarantee Italy requires before extraditing anyone.
