The girl was just sentenced to 26 years in prison for a murder someone else confessed to. There was no physical evidence linking her to the scene of the crime. The prosecution turned the trial into a circus and demonized her in the press… which may have influenced the jury (who was not sequestered). Her parents spent their retirement funds and their savings paying for her defense… Is she basically SOL? Can anything be done? Should anything be done? what do you think?
