I guess I would hope that our competent judges would be able to look at a case like this and dismiss it on the grounds that the lady is a complete idiot but never intentionally did anything that could harm the kids. It makes sense to me but I think plenty of people would get their panties in a bunch, calling it 'judicial activism' or something like that.
The problem is that the players involved: the school, cops, DA, and judge are more concerned with how this case will affect their careers than doing the right thing. A savy jury would have nullified the case (of course the prosecution probably would kick the jury members out for even mentioning that).
