A Rome appeals court on Wednesday
overturned the acquittal of a police officer who shot and killed
a young man after a chase on Rome's ring road in 2011, and gave
the officer eight months in jail.
Bernardino Budroni of Rome was shot dead by officer Michele
Paone as he fled police.
Budroni's former girlfriend had called the police, accusing
him of stalking her.
Paone had been acquitted by a court of first instance.
He has now been convicted of culpable manslaughter.
