Jul 15, 2024, 03:25 PM

Gabriel Natale-Hjorth, a 23-year-old from Marin County, has been granted house arrest by an Italian court. Natale-Hjorth had been in Italian prison since July 2019 following his involvement in the death of a police officer in Rome. His crime was recently reduced to negligence, prompting his attorneys to request home detention. The court's decision on Monday follows the confirmation of the murder conviction for his friend, Finnegan Elder, by the court of appeals in Rome last week, according to judicial sources.
