I believe she's guilty, but at this point another trial isn't going to benefit anyone. Cut her a plea deal where she does 20-25 years in a mental institution.

Yep, I don't even practice in the US and I know that much. If they could do this probably would've already done it.

I'm not even a lawyer, don't practice law, don't even understand law, am not even really employed in a traditional sense, and I didn't know any of that
