Even in that movie, it's just convenient and comfy feeling to ignore the fact that he was flat out guilty. Was he right? I don't know. Guilty for sure though. It's the same with this woman. Right or not, she got off very easy. I can't say I disapprove of that. In my opinion, what she did was dead wrong, but I do not think it's likely that she'll do it again. That's the point of the justice system to me, making sure that these things don't happen again. Since I seriously doubt that the girl's other uncle had been raping her (though who knows), I doubt the same circumstance could come up twice. Keeping her in prison would have just been keeping a mother away from her daughter an extra few years (though I'm not sure how old the daughter is now).
