Regina Sansalone (SAN-suh-LOH-neh) reports from Rome that a court today acquitted two men accused of murdering a seven-year-old American boy while his family vacationed in Italy in 1994. The killing of Nicholas Green of California shocked Italy, but after an eleven-month trial, two judges and six jurors found the defendants not guilty of murder, attempted murder and armed robbery. Prosecutors said they would appeal the verdict.
