An Italian jury convicted two Americans of murder on Wednesday, sentencing them to life in prison two years after they were charged with killing an Italian police officer while vacationing in Rome.
After a full day of deliberation, the jury sentenced Finnegan Lee Elder, 21, and Gabriel Natale-Hjorth, 20, to Italy's harshest sentence, The Washington Post reported.
The Post noted that the case garnered attention in Italy, where tourists are very rarely charged with violent crimes.

Elder and Natale-Hjorth, high school friends, allegedly went out to look for drugs in Rome on July 25, 2019, the Post reported. After paying 80 euros to a middleman, they discovered they were given over-the-counter pain medication.
