So, the tanned Italian got 7 years in prison for buying an underage prostitute and abuse of power. Thoughts?
Also, if someone can explain the italian legal system with regards to what comes next, that would be awesome!

And after that cassation, provided along the line it doesn't go beyond the time limit...
So nothing is the best description for it ^^
Prison? He made a law himself that says people over 70 can get house arrest instead of prison.
Since he is over 70, it's thus unlikely that he will sit in a prison. I know that not being able to leave your home is also considered a punishment but it's still not a prison in the strict sense.
Most legal systems have rules that cause the power of the state to prosecute someone to expire, if too much time passes.
The peculiar thing about Italy is that this can also happen when a trial is ongoing - even an appeal - so if Berlusconi can stretch his appeal long enough, he'll be off the hook. He's gotten away in this manner several times already.
I'm on Berlusconi's side - what's the point of power, money and influence if you can't have orgies with younger models...
I will miss him.
Not that I like him but that girl looked a lot older than 17. Liking girls that could be your granddaughter isn't a crime, escort-service should be sued
Even if she looked like a grandmother I'd approve of this since the guy has abused Italy so much to his own advantage and got away with it that I applaud every effort to reign in on his schemes. It might also set a nice precedent about holding top officials responsible, or at least I wish it does.
Amanda Knox? She got out and is free in America.
CR
Until her new trial starts anyway. Her appeal was overturned.
