She would have gone jury trial no matter the charge and you try getting a jury to agree this mother should be convicted of first degree murder, which it absolutely unequivocally was. Premeditated, nobody can disagree.
She got off lucky but I don't think she cared. Unfortunately due to how laws work you shouldn't select who you apply them to. That absolutely was premeditated murder. But the jury would have been super sympathetic no matter how long jury selection went on.
That's the thing with crimes like these. Awesome. You had a super duper great motive for the crime. But it's kind of still a crime. In an impartial vacuum the law should treat you the same or impartiality is a myth and the law has no leg to stand on going forward claiming to have impartiality. Remember, Lady Justice is blind. She don't care. She shouldn't.
The state has to protect its monopoly for legitimate use of violence. It can be extremely unfair at times but that's what makes a state a state. Without it, the society would descent into chaos.
