She's guilty of manslaughter. They tried her twice and found her guilty once, albeit of a lesser charge. The prosecutor shouldn't have given the jury the option of manslaughter. She's going to prison.

The system worked as it was designed. None of us heard the testimony, so we don't the real details of this case, just what's in the article.

What we're quibbling about here is whether or not the punishment fits her actions.
