The undercover police assert they ID'd themselves. If it was in Italian, the Americans may not have understood it, or didn't believe it.

Life in Prison, in particular for the kid who didn't stab anyone, seems over the top for a crime that wasn't premeditated, but they'd both probably get the same in America.

If cocaine was legal, this crime doesn't happen.
