Lee Gilley's attorney reacts as accused wife killer clings to Italian lifeline
Investigators say Lee Gilley cut off his ankle monitor and fled from the U.S. to Italy in May.
Gilley's status conference is set for Oct. 7.
On Sept. 18, Harris County prosecutors dropped the death penalty after Italian judges demanded written guarantees before extradition.
“The Italian courts will not extradite if the death penalty is on the table, and the charge against Mr. Gilley is capital murder. In Texas, there are only two punishments for capital murder, death or life without the possibility of parole,”
