Lee Gilley's attorney reacts as accused wife killer clings to Italian lifeline
The U.S. has until Sept. 30 to respond to Italy's requests for clarification.
Lee Gilley has been held in an Italian jail cell in Turin since his arrival.
Lee Gilley is accused of murdering his pregnant wife Christa Bauer Gilley inside the family's home in October 2024.
“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,”
